Bull Cook and Authentic Historical Recipes and Practices

Rating:
Summary: ECCENTRIC "COOKING" "PHILOSOPHY" AND "HISTORY" BOOK IN ONE!
Review: When I was growing up in the 60"s, my father (bless his crazy heart) bought ALL of the George Hearter masterworks (I think there are five). These bizzare creations were my family's font of knowledge for quotations, recipes, and distorted history. George Herter's opinions on everything from women's breasts to Ernest Hemmingway are discussed in these masterworks. If you have a sense of humor and know actual historical fact, you'll love these books! Don't hestitate to buy! A typical "recipe" runs something like this: "Cardinal Richaleau's Mayonaise" for which George gives you the background of France in the the days of Louis XIV, all Louis' mistresses, their breasts, the Cardinal's mistresses, their breasts, some pictures of their breasts, and, finally, a recipe that could very well include something strange such as Hellman's salad dressing or deer testicles. I'm looking to replace our family's tattered heirloom set (gold and silver lame covers on the originals!), with a new edition (hopefully), typeset, rather than typed (as was the original).
