Synopsis
Table Traits With Something On Them by Doran is an expansive, anthology-style meditation on eating, feasting, and table behavior across history and cultures. It appears as a mosaic of vivid anecdotes, portraits, and moral reflections, using meals as a lens on politics, power, culture, and character. The book surveys royal feasts and dining etiquette, catalogs strange banquets and ceremonial foods, and profiles authors and poets through their eating habits. It moves from ancient empires to early modern Europe, with digressions into the Americas and the Arab world, before turning to supper as a social and philosophical stage for wit, conviviality, and temperance. Throughout, it treats table life as a social theater where seating, serving, excess, restraint, and cultural contrast reveal virtue, vice, and the governing impulses of societies. With scholarly detail and humorous anecdote, the work classifies table traits across epochs and continents, offering a richly textured panorama of how food and dining illuminate civilization itself.
