Fish and Chips by Panikos Panayi
Unwraps the history of the UKs most popular takeaway.
‘This is the best history yet written of a British institution, alive to the cosmopolitan origins of food through global migration. . a rewarding read for anyone interested in the history of Britain so good in fact that it made me venture out on a windy night to buy a fish supper at my traditional local chippie.’ — History Today; ‘an affectionate, sprightly and crisply informative history of our national obsession.’ — Daily Mail; ‘full of fascinating facts’ — The Spectator; ‘What a clever, accessible, enjoyable, and informative book! While providing an abundance of revealing anecdotes, it also goes beyond food to tackle relevant topics such as migration, identity, technology, entrepreneurship, and more . . . a wonderful book.’ — Gastronomica; ‘[a] scholarly account of the rise and enduring popularity of what Panayi presents as something of a cultural marvel.’ — TLS; ‘Fish and Chips is a book brimming with fascinating facts and anecdotes about a dish that can be found on menus compiled by both Michelin Star chefs and your local chippy down the road.’ — Oxford Times
