Sinopse

Food and Mythology explores the fascinating intersection of gastronomy, ancient cultures, and mythology, revealing how deities, rituals, and beliefs profoundly shaped global culinary traditions. It examines how food transcends mere sustenance, becoming a potent symbol of identity, spirituality, and social order across diverse societies. Discover how ancient civilizations intertwined food with their pantheons of gods, illustrating the integral role of figures like Demeter and Ceres in ensuring agricultural abundance.

 
Explore how ritualistic food use in religious ceremonies and festivals reinforced social bonds and conveyed deep spiritual meanings. The book argues that food traditions are deeply rooted in ancient mythological narratives, challenging the perception of food as a mere biological necessity. By examining prominent examples from various regions and historical periods, such as ritual feasting in Norse mythology, Food and Mythology reveals universal themes and local variations in food mythologies.

 
It further demonstrates how these ancient traditions continue to resonate in modern culinary practices, influencing our eating habits and cultural identities. The book progresses by first introducing the fundamental concepts of food mythology, then developing these ideas through case studies. Finally, it highlights the practical implications of understanding food mythology for promoting cultural awareness and appreciating culinary diversity.

 
Drawing upon archaeological records, ancient texts, and ethnographic studies, the book offers a comparative analysis of food mythologies, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in food history, cultural studies, and the enduring power of ancient beliefs.

    From its first use by the Ancient Egyptians, the barrel has left an unmistakable imprint on human history. The Romans used the barrel in all corners of their vast empire, and explorers could not have charted the globe or opened up trade routes without barrels to store their food and water. And in all its thousands of years of use, the barrel's basic design has barely changed at all—a testament to its sheer and simple perfection. 
 
 
  
Cask Strength is more than a history book. In it, Mike Gerrard, an award-winning travel and drinks writer, investigates the making, buying, and selling of barrels and details how drinks like wine, tequila, rum, cognac, and others are enhanced by specific kinds of barrel production. 
 
  
  
Today, modern distillers, brewers, and wine-makers continue to use barrels in new, creative ways—with the barrel providing up to 60-70% of their flavors. Without the barrel, we would have no bourbon, no oak-aged chardonnay, no barrel-aged stouts . . . and no tabasco sauce, either. 
 
  
 
Gerrard's expertise and palpable passion for good beverages interestingly made will ignite the curiosities of booze fans and history buffs alike as Cask Strength traces the simple splendor of the barrel.
