Pickled, potted, and canned

Description:

Stories from around the world of a history of food preservation. Resplendent with historical figures from Francis Bacon who died trying to freeze a chicken, to Attila the Hun who 'gallop-cured' his meat by storing it under his saddle as he rode, this is a social history of food and civilization.
