The best thing about living abroad or going on holiday is going to foreign supermarkets and try whatever seems interesting and different. Now I have lived in the UK for the past 3 years moving back to the Netherlands next week , so I have a fair idea about what's going on foodwise here. That is why I wanted to get into this book now, just in case I'd missed something and this was my last chance to eat it. This book consists of about short bits too short to I love food. This book consists of about short bits too short to call chapters which are full of cringworthy generalisations and stereotypes in the genre of ALL French people are Michelin starred chefs, while ALL Brits puddle at the level of beans on toast. Some issues and annoyances: Stews: "Ours is the colour of washing-up water and smells of old people", in my opinion a rather unfair description. Cakes: "The Continental cake is slim, shallow, understated. It may be flavoured Shopping on the Internet: On the downside of online shopping:"the accidental ordering of the wrong coour loo roll what exactly DO you do with the nine apricot-cooured bog rolls? It can be entertaining to complain about small things, but the many silly irritations that Nigel Slater gets into in this book just makes me want to shout at him to get a life. Bread and Butter Pudding: In this little chapter Slater poses that British cooking is led by frugality, with the bread and butter pudding as a prime example. Well Nigel, have you heard of pain perdu, wentelteefjes, scheiterhaufen,? Eating Soldiers: "I have never eaten a boiled egg" Aug 11, Gwilym rated it really liked it. I haven't actually read it cover to cover so posting a review may seem somewhat disengenuous - as it is, the book is not so much a sit down and eat it up in a single sitting, rather, take the time to flick through every now and again to find a treasured food memory. Split into short paragraphs about British foodie topics, anyone who enjoys food or indeed wants to rekindle some nostalgia for childhood will enjoy this book. Slater does memory so well that it is difficult not to feel gre Wonderful. Slater does memory so well that it is difficult not to feel great warmth from pieces covering the ritual unwrapping and pressing of KitKat foil or more obvious turns such as the polarising effect of Marmite. Although I am still a loss to explain why - apart from the physical resemblance - Nigel Slater reminds me a great deal of Alan Bennet. There is something quintessentially British "lovable bookish" sort of chap about the both of them, a trait which comes through in their writing. Other books are worth a read on this topic culinary oddities such as The Gentlemans Relish, but the tone is distant and cold when compared with Slater and his unmistakable passion for the quirks of a culinary life. August Update: I have now read this book cover to cover, and still concur with the earlier review seen above. In fact my complete digestion of Nigel Slater's observational memoir would suit his style perfectly: I enjoyed it a few pieces at a time while crunching celery, cheese, and on occasion a chocolate bar during my work lunch half hour. The perfect way to read it for as long as colleagues are a good humoured bunch, you can share the most tantalising and rib tickling treats from this smorgasbord of all our fond food memories. Feb 26, Netts rated it did not like it. Even by the low standards of a Frankenbook of "musings" that is intended for the impulse purchase table at Urban Outfitters, this book is disappointing. There are about "chapters", which seems like a vast collection until you realize they are just one or two paragraphs each. Don't expect much evocative or well researched insight into British food habits. Instead you get a bunch of humorless anecdotes and dry rants on judgemental stereotypes so unoriginal that they actually start to repeat th Even by the low standards of a Frankenbook of "musings" that is intended for the impulse purchase table at Urban Outfitters, this book is disappointing. Instead you get a bunch of humorless anecdotes and dry rants on judgemental stereotypes so unoriginal that they actually start to repeat themselves half way through the book ex. Really disappointing since I very much liked Nigel Slater's Tender cookbook but if you expect any wit and grace, steer clear of this one. Dec 27, Tina rated it it was amazing Shelves: british-irish-authors , non-fiction. His writing, the humor, his recipes and gardening tips…. This collection of essays in Eating for England is top notch. The quality of the actual book is fantastic. The paper is weightier, there is a silk ribbon attached into the spine to mark your pages and the jacket is heavy and smooth. I like this book even more than I did his autobiographical account in Toast. This one will always have a place on my overcrowded boom shelf. May 01, Barbra rated it really liked it Shelves: favorites. A lovely descriptive book of British eating habits. This man is a national treasure and I just loved this book. Back Cover Blurb: The British are an eclectic bunch, and no more so than when it comes to food. Eating for England is Nigel Slater's affectionate and lively journey around the food - and characters - we find in our shops and kitchens nationwide. You aren't alone - food A lovely descriptive book of British eating habits. You aren't alone - food is at the heart of the nation's collective memory, and in bite-sized anecdotes, Nigel celebrates British food past and present from all corners of the country. Curious characters emerge wherever there's food to be boasted about, bought, cooked or eaten Oct 31, Twan rated it it was amazing. Mr Slater has collected short vignettes and essays where he reminisces, celebrates or ridicules some of the most celebrated and some of the quirkier aspects of the eating habits of the British despite it having England in the title. A genuinely funny, joyful book. I never thought that a few lines about a certain biscuit would make me smile and want to spread the word. Shame he doesn't carry this comedy into his tv show. May 01, jennifer rated it it was amazing. A thick book of short essays about British foods that Slater grew up with, or his parents did and his observations about newer choices in the market. I had a hard time putting it down, as this book explains what barley water, treacle tart or good Lord, spotted dick, are, as you hear them mentioned in a movie or a book and wonder. Slater also writes about many British treats that are now extinct or on the verge and manages to bring his grumpy father and racist aunt into his food memories. A must A thick book of short essays about British foods that Slater grew up with, or his parents did and his observations about newer choices in the market. A must for Anglophiles or foodies. Jan 25, Saskia rated it liked it. Nov 09, Rebecca rated it really liked it. Much preferred this to Toast. Thin-lipped Slater has redeemed himself. His homages to biscuits and confectionary in particular reads like light effortless poetry. I wish though he would lay off the sexual innuendo though - I can imagine him Leslie Phillips-like opening biscuit tins and going 'well Hell-ooo Jul 03, Ali rated it liked it Shelves: non-fiction. Some little gems in here, but ultimately very unsatisfying. A very very very easy read, which needed a decent editor - not to pare it down, but to structure it. Apr 26, Emily rated it liked it. Very interesting. Like did you know jelly babies were originally called peace babies when they were brought out after the war. Jul 27, Sue rated it really liked it Shelves: borrowed. Really like Nigel's writing style, gentle humour, a book to dip in and out of and bring back some nostalgic memories, Spangle anyone? Re-read this. And just recently re-read the book before this one: "Toast". Well, this is not as good as Toast. It follows a similar format, but it is much more surface-y - more just about the food items - and less biographical. Nigel repeats himself a little here and there too. It's still amusing it places, and still leaves a warm feeling for olde Englishe foods, but it just doesn't have the rich flavours of the previous one Still, it's a quick and enjoyable read. Probably approaching 3. Jan 19, Jo rated it liked it. I think you have to be over fifty-five to appreciate this book. A lot of the 'delights' eg. Lincoln biscuits you can no longer find unless you go to specialist shops. I do think Nigel Slater has summed up our pre-millenium eating, cooking and food shopping habits pretty well, although it's now ten years since the book was published and we have moved on, if only very slightly. A great nostalgia trip, though! Jul 20, PaulArb rated it really liked it. There's more to the fine art of dining than the art of fine dining. Anyone who has ever grown up has been hungry enough to find a Findus Crispy Pancake almost unimaginably delicious. Slater is excellent on summoning up that enjoyment of whatever comes along, as well as a host of other oddities that will immediately be familiar. Slightly rambling in structure, but I'm probably being mean thinking of that as a fault. Oct 12, Jan added it. A lighthearted look at English eating habits made up of small entries on various topics, so its easy to pick up and put down. It was good to be reminded of some old forgotten treasures from my childhood and some not so happy food memories. As you would expect there was the usual smattering of sweeping generalisations, contradictions, exaggerations and simple untruths which are kind of annoying but you just have to kind of accept that and move along! As always you can rely on Nigel Slaters lifes observations to make you smile. Book of various small chapters we can all relate to, school milk puddings, toffee pulling your fillings out to the late night raid of the fridge. Especially like the line about being on a diet that if no one sees you raiding the fridge at night before bed, then there are no calories. Oct 02, Diane Warrington rated it really liked it Shelves: history , non-fiction , cooking , auto-biography. A gloriously funny yet insightful and caring look at some staples of the English food habits. From toast to puds to Jammy Dodgers this is a loving look at why food is more than that. Why it is a comfort and care, a pickmeup and, at times, a contest. Oct 11, Terry rated it really liked it. I read this book over several months while waiting for appointments, traveling by bus, or having my nails done. While I am American, I am frequently in London and am intrigued by British eccentricities and am always interested in trying new things. This was an enjoyable glimpse into foodie tastes old and new. I enjoyed this audio- book, I believe read by Nigel Slater himself. The only downside was some food items he only allocated 1 brief sentence to, and other things he almost became to self indulgent over. Jun 14, Alan Peters rated it liked it. Quite a pleasant nostalgic look at sweets and foods we don't see much today. Rather lacking in substance, though, lots of broad sweep coverage, a tad stereotypical. Not as good as Toast, but decent enough to dip into when dozing in a deck chair. Feb 09, ourhouseinquercy rated it liked it.
