'Delicious... Wonderful' Guardian'Fascinating... Full of incident and food for thought' Mail on Sunday'Delightful... Vogler offers up a feast of tales about popular British foods' Financial TimesA SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEARA WATERSTONES BEST FOOD & DRINK BOOK OF 2023Do we control our own food choices?How do supermarkets shape our eating habits?And just whose responsibility is it to ensure that the country is fed?Debates about food banks, free school meals and ultra-processed food might seem a modern concern, but theyare deeply rooted in our history. As bestselling author Pen Vogler shows, from uprisings over the right to common land to national campaigns to feed hungry children, food and politics have always been inseparable.
Entertaining and thought-provoking, Stuffed explores the ideas, events and foods - turnips and strawberries, pies and pudding, bread and beer and, of course, tea - from prehistory to the present that have shaped who we are today.
