Traditional Food in Northumbria

Více o knize

The book opens with a survey of the inhabitants of Northumbria: the pitman, the farmers and their labourers, the lead miners, the fishermen and the mariners, not forgetting the poor. It then moves on to the food itself with separate chapters on meat, fish, vegetables, puddings, cakes, drinks, breads, the store cupboard, and the dairy. The author closes with three chapters that look at feasts and celebrations, calendar customers, and rites of passage.
