Curiosities of Food: Or the Dainties and Delicacies of Different Nations Obtained from the Animal Kingdom

Author: Peter Lund Simmonds

Originally published in London in 1859, this rare treasure of culinary history was recently brought to light in the award-winning Oxford Companion to Food, whose author, Alan Davidson, used it as a primary reference in researching some of the more obscure foodstuffs consumed across the globe. Davidson writes that Curiosities "is in all probability the first attempt to write a general worldwide survey of animal products." Long out of print, this lost classic of wit, erudition, and grand storytelling is now made available in a facsimile edition, with an introduction by Davidson. As Simmonds reveals in his charming culinary travelogue, just about everything that walks, swims, crawls, slithers, or flies has been eaten at one time or another, and the eminent Victorian scholar has the tasting notes.

As Simmonds muses, there is simply no accounting for taste. The author's bold attempt to do so, however, stands as one of the greatest works of gastronomy -- a true culinary cabinet of wonders.
