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. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Food habits|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008103984 650 0 Proverbs, Italian|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85107921|xHistory and criticism.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001187 650 7 Food habits.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/930807 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Proverbs, Italian.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1080403 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMontanari, Massimo, 1949-|sIl formaggio con le pere English.|tCheese, pears, & history.|dNew York : Columbia University Press, ©2010|z9780231152501 |w(OCoLC)669128336 830 0 Arts and traditions of the table.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n2001000537 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=584590|zOnline eBook.
