` This is a book to be dipped into periodically with equal measure
of delight, disgust and surprise inspiring us to think about
changes in our tastes and dispositions about diet through the ages.
- Ron Iphofen, University of Wales, Bangor, Medical Sociology News,
December 2001
'Anyone interested in the classics, in food, the history of
medicine and health will find this book as fascinating as I did.' -
Ron Iphofen, Medical Sociology News
