As Long as we Both Shall Eat is a culinary history of wedding feasts. Examining the various food customs associated with weddings in America and around the world, Claire Stewart not only provides a rich account of the foods most loved and frequently served at wedding celebrations, she also offers a glimpse into the customs and celebrations themselves, as they are experienced in the West and in various other cultures. She sheds light on the historical and contemporary significance of wedding food, and explores patterns of the varieties of conspicuous consumption linked to American wedding feasts in particular. There are stories of celebrity excess, and the book is peppered with accounts of lavish strange-but-true wedding tales. The antics of wealthy socialites and celebrities is a topic rich for exploration, and the telling of their exploits can be used to track the fads and changes in conventional and contemporary wedding feasts and celebrations. From cocktail hours to wedding cakes, showers to brunches, the food we enjoy to celebrate the joining of life partners helps bring us together, no matter our differences. Readers are treated to a tasty trip down the aisle in this entertaining and lively account of nuptial noshing. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

This started as a good idea. And that's where it should have stopped. The writing is all over the place. Following paragraphs don't match the preceeding paragraph i.e. completely different subjects. Section titles have nothing to do with what is written in the section. Heck, whole chapters have nothing to do with chapter titles.
It feels like the author read some books and then wrote this book. This book is all over the place and has little to do with the subject she allegedly is writing about. The research is poor or nonexistent. There are incorrect and even racist terms used i.e. Islamists instead of Muslims (Muslims are followers of Islam while Islamists are terrorists who use Muslim theology fashioned into an ideology of hate and violence). The author should stick to cooking and not write about history.
This read like a bad middle school essay. Not worth reading. ( )
