The Man Show On Tap or Shelley and the Revolution in Taste

The Man Show On Tap: A Guide to All Things Beer

Author: Ray James

Finally -- Everything All Self-Respecting Men Must Know About Beer & Life

Beer -- man's other best friend. The kind of best friend you don't have to walk, and only occasionally have to clean up after. Written with provocative, unpretentious wit, The Man Show On Tap: A Guide to All Things Beer examines beer as it relates to all the situations men encounter in their daily lives. In addition to practical tips like opening a bottle without a church key or concocting a surefire hangover cure, Man Show veteran Ray James includes party survival tips, drinking games, the truth according to the Juggies, Man-o-vations, mating rituals, and more.

With its unapologetic look at all things manly, The Man Show On Tap is a hilarious examination of America's favorite social lubricant from the producers of the lewdest, rudest, and sickest show on television. Ziggy Sokky, Ziggy Sokky, Hoy, Hoy, Hoy!

Shelley and the Revolution in Taste: The Body and the Natural World

Author: Timothy Morton

This groundbreaking study addresses the representation of food and drink in the works of Percy and Mary Shelley. With original studies of much-debated texts, it provides new perspectives in recent cultural history and theory concerning medicine and diet in the 1790SH1820 period. Morton shows how food in the social and literary text provided complex and ambivalent ways of signaling ideological preferences. It will appeal to all those interested in the body, ecology and social and anthropological approaches to Romantic literature.

Hand-Book of Practical Cookery, for Ladies and Professional Cooks

Author: Pierre Blot

This book first appeared in 1867, and was one of the first that could truly be called American. Blot was the founder of the New York Cooking Academy and his aim in this book was to "enable every housekeeper and professional cook, no matter how inexperienced they may be, to prepare any kind of food in the best and most wholesome way... We did not intend to make a book, such as that of Careme, which cannot be used at all except by cooks of very wealthy families and with which one cannot make a dinner costing less that twenty dollars a head."

Blot is quite broad-minded when it comes to what is suitable for the table and he has recipes for preparing skunk (he suggests using a ravigote or a tartar sauce), squirrel, opossum, raccoon, bear, buffalo, woodchuck, otter, pelican and fox, and using such American flora as lima beans, pumpkin, hominy, sorrel, nasturtiums, and okra. The recipes are laid out in the old way without the ingredients listed beforehand. Blot is an engaging writer and the book is entertaining and informative (and was one of the first to be concerned with nutrition). There are a few black & white illustrations showing kitchen utensils, presentation of whole pig, and pastry shapes.
