Edible Plants and Animals: Unusual Foods from Aardvark to Zamia
by: Livingston, A.D. & Livingston, Helen
With 500 brief entries equally divided between edible animals and edible
plants, this book will help preserve our knowledge of foods from prehistoric
times and broaden our cultural tolerance of other's food choices. Entries
include scientific and common names, uses, geographic distribution, toxic
portions, and sometimes directions for preparation, nutritional values,
and bibliographic citations. In a few cases, entries are supplemented
with line drawings and recipes. Entries, which are arranged by common
names, are occasionally enriched with historical references. For instance,
Prickly Pears notes that during Operation Desert Storm maps issued to
troops in the Persian Gulf listed these plants as a survival food. Currants
and Gooseberries mentions that during World War II currants were raised
in England because of a shortage of sources of vitamin C. The recipe for
fried green tomatoes (in Tomatoes), long a southern delicacy, mentions
this dish as the title of a recent movie and book. The text includes numerous
see and see also references as well as occasional mention of nonfood uses
(e.g., Walnuts, Yaks). The short bibliography includes such classics as
The U.S. Armed Forces Survival Manual (1980), Schneider's Uncommon Fruits
and Vegetables (1986), and Tannahill's Food in History (rev. ed., 1988).
The very detailed index includes popular and Latin names, geographic areas
subdivided by food names, and individuals or groups associated with certain
foods. 304 pgs.
