"Excellent. Cannot wait to get stuck in." -- Tom Parker Bowles "I'll be raiding this Wonder Pantry of a book for years to come. Diverting, delightful and deliciously weird enough to satisfy the most demanding appetite." -- Christopher Hadley, author of Hollow Places and The Road "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 "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 "Endlessly informative and leaning hard into the British Isles' reputation for the off-beat, this is a delight." -- Publisher's Weekly.
