The Hungry Empire

'A wholly pleasing book, which offers a tasty side dish to anyone exploring the narrative history of the British Empire' Max Hastings, Sunday Times

WINNER OF THE GUILD OF FOOD WRITERS BOOK AWARD 2018

The glamorous daughter of an African chief shares a pineapple with a slave trader… Surveyors in British Columbia eat tinned Australian rabbit… Diamond prospectors in Guyana prepare an iguana curry…

In twenty meals The Hungry Empire tells the story of how the British created a global network of commerce and trade in foodstuffs that moved people and plants from one continent to another, reshaping landscapes and culinary tastes. The Empire allowed Britain to harness the globe’s edible resources from cod fish and salt beef to spices, tea and sugar.

Lizzie Collingham takes us on a wide-ranging culinary journey, revealing how virtually every meal we eat still contains a taste of empire.

These shoes ARE NOT LEATHER as advertised!
Size: 14, Color: Black
I own 4 pair of Marc Joseph shoes. All were Amazon advertised as Leather uppers and received as such. Made in Brazil out of real leather. Good quality shoes and a fair price. My recent purchases of 2 pair of Marc Jospeh shoes are Amazon advertised as" Leather Uppers". They are NOT leather and I sent them back to Amazon. Made in China. To me this is a bait and switch. Product descriptions should be honest and complete and reveal origin. My previous purchases stated "Made in Brazil" and "Leather Uppers." Since they were Marc Joseph, I thought these 2 recent pair were creditably described so I ordered based on my prior satisfied experience. Shame on me. Marc Joseph has lost a loyal customer.

Sleek and classy loafer
Size: 10.5, Color: Black
Was skeptical on this purchase but I have to say, well worth it. Not super expensive but very comfortable. Wears well for summer dress attire for taking your lady out for a dinner or show. Casual yet classy. Not a bad buy.

Great price great shoe
Size: 12, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
Excellent shoe. Tried the Sebago penny loafer and the sizing was ridiculous. These J and M are sized perfectly. I’ve had them before and they wear like iron. Very comfortable right out of the box.
