The Foodies and Scoffers Bible Summary

The Foodies and Scoffers Bible: A Smorgasbord of Tasty Trivia from Around the World by Ruth Graham

Stimulate the taste buds with this hilarious collection, stuffed full of foodie facts, figures, jokes, and true stories. Cook up an interesting selection of strange recipes and rude foods, quiver at the best chef putdowns in kitchen history, learn how many tonnes of food a cruise liner consumes on a one week trip around the Med, and tremble at the real-life admissions of catering staff from all branches of the industry, then stock up on a whole host of hilarious menu translations and plenty more. It's the light-hearted way to satisfy your appetite for all things culinary. Anyone who loves food, or loves having a laugh will emerge licking their lips from this book. Unlike many food books that take themselves terribly seriously, The Foodies & Scoffers Bible is unpretentious and does exactly what it says on the tin. It will make readers laugh out loud, and occasionally wince at what goes on behind the scenes, but it's never less than entertaining. The book is the third in a series of 'Bibles' in this format. The series also includes The Putdowns & Insults Bible, The Crap Family Christmas Bible and The Break-Up Bible.

About Ruth Graham

Ruth Graham's first career was as a stand-up comic, where the early days of mass-rejection helped shape the tongue-in-cheek wry outlook that now defines her writing. Her other exploits have included everything from working on cruise liners, to songwriting in London, to launching and editing her own glossy interiors magazine. Despite all this, she was deemed a constant disappointment by her now-departed, very traditional Yorkshire parents, whose classic 'encouragement' included the lines, 'Well, you can't be happy all your life' and 'The sooner you learn to cook mince properly, the sooner you'll find a husband'. Despite such sage advice, Ruth preferred to fall back on a variety of interesting careers, life experiences and even more interesting men, Now in her early 40s, she's old enough to not care what the neighbours think, but young enough to still try and breakdance at parties. Now a full-time writer and part-time bellydance teacher, her motto is 'it's never too late to be a late starter'!
