Spaniards Quite Stringy, Even When Boiled
Posted on August 22nd, 2002 by mike
There’s a review of a food history book here, Near a Thousand Tables: A History of Food, with this illuminating excerpt:
Fern�ndez-Armesto kicks off his chapter on food and symbolism with an enthusiastic discussion of cannibalism. The tone is set by an epigraph recording what the seventeenth-century Caribbeans thought of their various visitors from Europe. The French were delicious, the islanders said, the English rather less so, and the Spaniards quite stringy, even when boiled.
