"Gazur's witty and engaging exploration of food-related rituals, remedies and superstitions will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about your dinner plate." -- Dee Dee Chainey , author of A Treasury of British Folklore: Maypoles, Mandrakes and Mistletoe " A Feast of Folklore by Ben Gazur is one of those gems of a book that keeps you up long into the night because you just want to read "one more page" before putting it down." -- Willow Winsham , author of Treasury of Folklore: Stars and Skies "Well researched and presented in a light and most digestible manner, this is a must read the next time you are sitting down to a sausage roll." -- Max Miller , creator of Tasting History with Max "Ben Gazur has categorised the folklore of food under neat, easily accessible headings, turning it into a proper genre, opposed to a tagged on history." -- Emma Kay , food historian, author and broadcaster "You need to read A Feast of Folklore as a matter of urgency! Diverting, delightful and deliciously weird enough to satisfy the most demanding appetite." -- Christopher Hadley , author of Hollow Places and The Road "Endlessly informative and leaning hard into the British Isles' reputation for the off-beat, this is a delight." -- Publisher's Weekly.
