"Food Wonders of the World"
amusingly reveals how such viands
as the sandwich, pie. gumbo, sir-
loin steak, candy, hamburger and
many others got their names. The
book describes the unexpectedly
humble origins of some of the
gourmets' most relished recipes.
It explains striking or subtle dif-
ferences in eating habits, and how
they are influenced by history,
culture, custom, religion. climate—
and even snobbery. From the re-
mote origins of exotic edibles. it
goes on to predict how scientists
of the future will make milk from

Leafing through the solidly pack-
ed pages of fun-facts and surprises,
it is a delight to learn how the first
