Incredible
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
A fascinating study of the link between food and language. Incredible. I laughed, cried, danced around the fire naked. Jay was an all-star outfielder for the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 40's; he also once had dinner with the Pope, Ernest Hemingway, Louie Armstrong, Mookie Wilson and Lassie. These experiences, coupled with an unparalleled knowledge of food and language, make this book indispensable.
