Description

From the back cover

“Although it could be said that European civilisation has been founded on the pig, this unfortunate animal has encountered much prejudice and degradation in the past. But ever since Charles Lamb stated that there was no other taste comparable to that of roast pork, the pig has never looked back. And it is hoped that this book – the first of its kind – will further its popularity in the English kitchen. Together with a guide to charcuterie and a host of French pork dishes, it gives new and unusual information on the history and growth of this art. Certain to delight both adventurous housewife and diffident traveller to France, this book allows you to make a true pig of yourself.”
