Eat Your Words by Paul Convery

Eat Your Words brings to the table a compilation of 6,000 often unusual and unfamiliar terms across twenty-one fact-packed courses, offering the reader a unique feast of learning as well as a fun and flavor-filled dip into the fascinating language of food and eating.

“This is an outstanding contribution to the field of food language and lore and an accessible reference book for professional and amateur foodies alike” —Susannah Seton, author of Simple Pleasures of the Kitchen

“Now I can impress my food-snob friends with more than my ratatouille and learn some great food-related scrabble words as well.” —Nina Lesowitz, author of The Party Girl Cookbook
