England Eats Out

John Burnett

4.9/5 (33073 ratings)

Description:Dining out in England is now much more than just getting fed, it is an expression of lifestyle. Looks at the changes in cuisine and style over the last 200 years Full of entertaining anecdote relating to chop houses, railway food, celebrity restaurants, and cuisine horror stories Award winning food and drink author Dining out is a major social activity in England and constitutes around a third of all money spent on food. In the past people ate away from home mainly from necessity. Men bought from street-sellers and cook shops or ate and drank in pubs or clubs, but eating out for pleasure was mainly restricted to the wealthier classes. The upper classes dined out when traveling or on holiday, though women did not normally eat in public places. The democratization of eating out to all classes, to men, women and young people, became common only after World War Two, and was the result of rising standards of living, the growth of leisure, and the emergence of new types of catering with wide popular appeal. This beautifully illustrated book traces the changes in eating out since the early nineteenth century as England was turning into an urban, industrial society. It describes the dining out habits of all classes - the rich, the middle-classes and the poor - what and where they ate and how much they paid. England Eats Out covers the wide range of eating-places which has existed, from coffee rooms and chop-houses to luxury hotels and Edwardian dining, cafes and fish & chip shops to burger bars and ethnic restaurants. John Burnett demonstrates dining out is now an established part of modern leisure, bringing social and psychological satisfactions wellbeyond the food itself: it has central importance to the way the English live and eat today. John Burnett is an expert on the social history of Britain. His many books include the major "Plenty and Want" (1968, Penguin), "Idle Hands "(1996) and "Liquid Pleasures" (1999, Routledge), which won the "Andre Simon Prize" for best drinks book of the year.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
