Books I've Read (and you should too) About, or Involving, Food

This just came off the top of my head, y'all (apologies to M. Black):

Fast Food Nation, by Eric Schlosser
As They Were, by M. F. K. Fisher
Between Meals, by A. J. Liebling
The Raw and the Cooked, by Jim Harrison
A Confederacy of Dunces, by John Kennedy Toole
The Edible Woman, by Margaret Atwood
Candy Freak, by Steve Almond
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl
Eating Mammals, by John Barlow
Neither Here Nor There, by Bill Bryson
Heat, by Bill Buford
Kitche Confidential, by Anthony Bourdain
The Outlaw Chef, by John Thorne
V., by Thomas Pynchon

Oh, there's plenty more. Good reading on good eating is like one of those cartoon drumsticks: The animated dog takes a bite, chews, and takes another, the turkey leg reconstituting itself like a starfish... point is, it'll never run out.

And if you're thinking, "V.? How is Pynchon's debut novel in here? It's not exactly filled with the edible stuff (hard as the story is to chew, notwithstanding)." But remember, Profane and the boys do drink and eat throughout the tale... and look at that title: It's a wishbone! ('boo' goes the chorus)

Dig in.
