food sites for November 2012
Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Unsubstantiated sightings of Dr Sanscravat
reported from Franconia Notch, NH (however, the same person
also reported seeing Amelia Earhart in conversation
with an Ivory-billed Woodpecker).
November is fast upon us -- the beginning of the feasting/dyspepsia season. If NPR's Susan Stamberg can regale us – every Thanksgiving – with her mother's cranberry sauce recipe, we experience little shame in dragging out Sanscravat's researches into one of the more puzzling aspects of the holiday menu.
Regular subscribers to our updates newsletter receive these updates from our blog, Just Served, directly -- but there many items that the blog doesn't sent automatically. Much of it is more than reasonable people want to chew -- but, if you're feeling particularly unreasonable, and don't want to wait for these newsletters, you can follow us on Facebook, or Twitter. In the unlikely event that you find yourself stranded and book-starved, you can access a kind of index -- of orts and morsels of our (and the good doctor's) writings, wedged (as it were) among the back-teeth of the web – at A Quiet Little Table in the Corner.
Leitesculinaria has reposted several of our own articles (the entire list is available here, along with several more noteworthy pieces on food history & science.
This month's quotation from On the Table's culinary quote pages is intended to provide a bit of cosmic perspective:
O woe, woe, man is only a dot:
Hell drags us off and that is the lot;
So let us have a little space,
At least while we can feed our face. Petronius Arbiter

Except, of course, for the usual legalistic mumbo-jumbo and commercial flim-flam:

Our books: The Resource Guide for Food Writers; The Herbalist in the Kitchen; The Business of Food: Encyclopedia of the Food And Drink Industries; Human Cuisine; Herbs: A Global History; and Terms of Vegery are still available for purchase.
Here endeth the sales pitch(es)...

Your are correct ... the feasting/dyspepsia season is upon us ... God help us all :-)
We're mid-way through it, Carol. Soon we'll be entering the "let's just forget about New Year's Resolution, OK?" season.
