{"product_id":"sausage-gary-allen-9781780235004","title":"Sausage: A Global History","description":"When you get right down to it, taking the intestine of an animal and stuffing it with the ground meat of that animal doesn't really seem all that intuitive an approach to food preparation. But, as Gary Allen shows in this rich and engaging history, people worldwide have been making sausage for thousands of years. A veritable alphabet of sausages, from the Cajun \u003ci\u003eandouille\u003c\/i\u003e--and its less spicy forerunner, a French \u003ci\u003esaucisson\u003c\/i\u003e of the same name--and Mexican \u003ci\u003echorizo\u003c\/i\u003e all the way to the Italian \u003ci\u003ezampone\u003c\/i\u003e, Allen tells a story of relentless creativity and invention, as different cultures found countless delectable ways to transform these otherwise unappealing pieces of meat. Allen peppers his account with examples from all over the world, as well as antique posters and advertisements, artworks and cartoons; together, they build a picture of a food that has been beloved--even as it's scoffed at--throughout human history, and remains a spicy favorite today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Allen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780235003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780235004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.08h x 5.05w x 0.39d","brand":"Gary Allen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058633830655,"sku":"9781780235004","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19644997-c5a3-4e0f-b326-d09236e60398.jpg?v=1685053676","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sausage-gary-allen-9781780235004","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
