The author of the Sunday Times bestselling Scoff, Pen Vogler, has written a book that explores the history of food and drink at the center of social upheavals from prehistory to the present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStuffed tells the stories of the food and drink at the center of social upheavals, from the medieval inns boosted by the plague to the Victorian chemist searching for unadulterated mustard, the post-war supermarkets luring customers with strawberries, and the extremes of plenty and want that have resulted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVogler draws on cookbooks, literature, and social records to reveal how these turning points have led to today's extremes of plenty and want, such as roast beef and food banks, allotment-fresh vegetables and ultra-processed fillers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is a tale of feast and famine, and of the traditions, ideas, and laws that have fed or starved the nation, but also of the yeasty magic of bread and ale, the thrill of sugary treats, the pies and puddings that punctuate the year, and why the British would give anything for a nice cup of tea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuardian's article on Stuffed is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of food and drink, and the impact it has had on society.
