Synopsis
Table Traits, With Something On Them by John Doran. Table Traits, With Something On Them is a witty, encyclopedic meditation on the table as a social, cultural, and culinary institution. Spanning ancient myths through classical worlds to medieval and early modern Europe and expanding to Egypt, India, and beyond, the work treats food and drink as forces that shape health, manners, politics, fashion, and social hierarchy. It blends myth, history, science, and anecdote with a humorous, erudite voice, weaving together legends of Amphitryon, Bechamel, Vatel, Madame Pompadour, Ude, and imperial banquets with reflections on digestion, nourishment, and the moral dimensions of appetite. The book surveys topics from bread, corn, butter, and eggs to tea, coffee, and chocolate; the rise of coffee houses and French cafés; and the evolution of culinary arts from ancient cooks to modern chefs. Through portraits of saints, rulers, poets, and merchants, meals become a lens on civilization—revealing beliefs, power structures, manners, and the art and science by which people sustain and delight themselves.
