About this item

CULINARIA: THE UNITED STATES is a collection of select food-related subjects exploring the world of American cuisine. The book takes the reader on a journey through America, a trip that any food-loving tourist will relish. He will go along on a fishing expedition with a Maine lobsterman, taste the buttery freshness of an ear of grilled corn and smell the pungent, smoky aroma of green chiles roasting in the Southwest. He will visit Americans at a Hawaiian Lu'au, a New England clambake and a crawfish feed in Louisiana. He will find out what Americans eat for breakfast in different parts of the country and that fastnachts, beignets, malassadas, bunuelos, and paczki are all types of donuts. The book is divided into thirteen geographical regions. Between the regional chapters are stories about food-related subjects and national dishes that transcend regional borders, such as hamburgers and pizza. An extensive bibliography and index are included to aid the curious reader.
