Annuncio vobis gaudium magnum! MFK FIsher's The Art of Eating has been reprinted! Now for some this might not be the news of the moment, but for those of us who have absentmindedly lent their precious second-hand edition to members of the feckless classes and pine to read MFK's limpid prose again it is news indeed. For the princely sum of $37.50 you can purchase a copy in Borders.
Her series of essays on the oyster is unsurpassed. The one about her first oyster is a veritable treasure. Likewise is the essay on her general and the chocolate he brought her.
So unlike much of what passes for food writing today.
I saw a food critic on TV the other day - not a pleasant experience. I wanted to hit him with a meat tenderiser - I say that in the nicest possible way. Such a smug prig! All that carry on about arranging the number of -hats!
I had a report from the elderly relative recently of his messing with the minds of some Fairfax food journalists at Bilson's. I should have liked to have been there.
