Spicing Up Britain Panayi Panikos
From the arrival of Italian ice-cream vendors and German pork butchers, to the rise of Indian curry as the national dish, Spicing Up Britain uncovers the fascinating history of British food over the last 150 years. He argues that Britain has become a country of vast ethnic diversity, in which people of different backgrounds--but still British--are united by their readiness to sample a wide variety of foods produced by other ethnic groups. Panikos Panayi shows how a combination of immigration, increased wealth, and globalization have transformed the eating habits of the English from a culture of stereotypically bland food to a flavorful, international cuisine.Along the way, Panayi challenges preconceptions about British identity, and raises questions about multiculturalism and the extent to which other cultures have entered British society through the portal of food.
