Summary
"This historical panorama illustrates from the daily experiences of two thousand years the truth of the saying 'Man is what he eats'. Markets and market-gardeners, the dining club and the soup kitchen, gastronomy, starvation and adulteration are all ingredients in a book that shows how London has fed itself over the years."--BOOK JACKET.
