Book Overview
"The table constitutes a kind of tie between the bargainer and the bargained-with, and makes the diners more willing to receive certain impressions, to submit to certain influences: from this is born political gastronomy. Meals have become a means of governing, and the fate of whole peoples is decided at a banquet."--Jean Anth lme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste, or, Meditations on Transcendental Gastronomy
