520    "Do not let the peasant know how good cheese is with 
       pears" goes the old saying. Intrigued by these words and 
       their portent, Massimo Montanari unravels their origin and
       utility. Perusing archival cookbooks, agricultural and 
       dietary treatises, literary works, and anthologies of 
       beloved sayings, he finds in the nobility's demanding 
       palates and delicate stomachs a compelling recipe for 
       social conduct. At first, cheese and its visceral, earthy 
       pleasures were treated as the food of Polyphemus, the 
       uncivilized man-beast. The pear, on the other hand, became
       the symbol of ephemeral, luxuriant pleasure-an indulgence 
       of the social elite. Joined together, cheese and pears 
       adopted an exclusive savoir faire, especially as the 
       "natural phenomenon" of taste evolved into a cultural 
       attitude. Montanari's delectable history straddles written
       and oral traditions, economic and social relations, and 
       thrills in the power of mental representation. His 
       ultimate discovery shows that the enduring proverb, so 
       wrapped up in history, operates not only as a repository 
       of shared wisdom but also as a rich locus of social 
       conflict"--Publisher.
