What was eating them? And vice versa.
In What the Great Ate, Matthew and Mark Jacob have cooked up a
bountiful sampling of the peculiar culinary likes, dislikes,
habits, and attitudes of famous—and often notorious—figures
throughout history. Here is food
· As code: Benito Mussolini used the phrase “we’re making
spaghetti” to inform his wife if he’d be (illegally) dueling later
that day.
· As superstition: Baseball star Wade Boggs credited his on-field
success to eating chicken before nearly every game.
· In service to country: President Thomas Jefferson, America’s
original foodie, introduced eggplant to the United States and wrote
down the nation’s first recipe for ice cream.
From Emperor Nero to Bette Davis, Babe Ruth to Barack Obama, the
bite-size tidbits in What the Great Ate will whet your appetite for
tantalizing trivia.
