520 1 _a"Among the foods thought to encourage Lust, the love apple (now known as the tomato), has become the world's most popular vegetable. But until the nineteenth century the love apple was considered Satanic by many because of its similarity to the mandrake, a plant believed to be possessed by demonic spirits (Joan of Arc's alleged possession of one was among the crimes that sent her to the stake). The Gluttony "course" invites the reader to an ancient Roman dinner party where nearly every dish served - from poppy-crusted rodents to "Trojan Pork" - was considered a crime against the state. The vice known as Sloth introduces the sad story of "The Lazy Root," the potato, whose popularity in Ireland led English Protestants to assert eating it bred degeneracy and idleness. When the devastating Great Famine struck in 1845, British moralists claimed it was God's way of punishing the Irish for eating so sinful a food." "Filled with Incredible history and the author's travels to many of these exotic locales, In the Devil's Garden also features recipes like the Matzoh-ball stews outlawed by the Spanish Inquisition and the forbidden "chocolate champagnes" of the Aztecs. This is truly a delectable book that will be consumed by food lovers, culinary historians, amateur anthropologists, and armchair travelers alike."--BOOK JACKET.
