📝 Description: Ladyfingers and Nun's Tummies: From Spare Ribs to Humble Pie--A Lighthearted Look at How Foods Got Their Names (Vintage Books)

Witty, bawdy, and stuffed with stories, "Ladyfingers and Nun's Tummies" is a gorgeous parfait of history, culture, and language. "What fun Martha Barnette has made of it all, every name for every dish explained and jollied".--William F. Buckley, Jr.
