For a superlative collection of writing about food I don't think that you can do better than Elizabeth David's [[An Omelette and a Glass of Wine]] and for the ultimate book about English food you should have a look at [[Jane Grigson]].

I have a strong suspicion I might just like that! Despite having sold my 2 previously bought Nigel Slater cookbooks on (due to the fact that in several months I had them and with few repeated - and enjoyable - re-browsings, I didn't cook a single thing from either of them!).
I think I like reading Nigel Slater more, though he annoys me a bit (he seems constantly slightly, just a tad sorry for himslef himself or in need ofcomforting) and of course I got mortally offended when accused of lying about my dislike of Smarties (which, like marshmallows, you need to grow up with, from a VERY early age, I am sure, to like - my daughter doesn't either, and she was first exposed at the age of about 2.5).

|comment= Your reaction with regard to Smarties has the same cause as my reaction to being accused of cooking with my wallet. The assertion which is meant to amuse actually offends.
