Is this news or crass hucksterism? Your call.
Despite what one poet had to say about the cruelness of April, this one promises to be especially kind around here. First, of course is that our wicked witch of a winter will be “really most sincerely dead.” Where’s the cruelty in that, Mr. Eliot?
This April, moreover, has even more good news for us. We were interviewed for an HBO special, Thought Crimes, which will premiere at the Tribeca Film festival this month. OUP is about to release The Oxford Companion to Sugar and Sweets, which includes our lengthy article, “Insects.” OK, the news, so far is kinda’ creepy (and occasionally crawly)—but there is some tastier news.
My latest addition to Reaktion Books’ Edible series, Sausage: A Global History, (all about our favorite mystery meat) is complete, edited, indexed, and on its way to press. It is already listed online and will be included in Reaktion’s spring catalog (and at stand 6A109 of the London Book Fair, April 14-16).
Regular subscribers to our updates newsletter receive these updates from our blog, Just Served, directly—but there is much more at the blog that isn’t delivered automatically.
You can, if you wish, follow us on Facebook, and Twitter. Still more of our online scribbles can be found at A Quiet Little Table in the Corner. While this newsletter is mostly about food, food history, food science, food writing—let’s face it, it’s about filling our faces and thinking about the process, before, during, and after the fact.
This month’s quotes from On the Table’s culinary quote collection are entirely self-serving. Well, mostly self-serving...
A highbrow is the kind of person who looks at a sausage and thinks of Picasso. Alan Patrick Herbert
What? Sunday morning in an English family and no sausages? God bless my soul, what’s the world coming to? Dorothy Sayers
Doctor, do you think it could have been the sausage? last words of Paul Claudel
