Gloucestershire is a large county, rich in food and drink heritage.
Famous for Double Gloucester cheese and the cheese rolling event, Old
Spot pigs, cider and the birthplace of prominent tea merchant Thomas
Twining, Gloucestershire's culinary history is both colourful and
diverse. Nutcrack Sunday and Puppy Dog Pie (don't worry, it hasn't
always been made from cute canines), ancient markets and progressive
agriculturists represent just a few of the many interesting stories that
contribute to this county's food and drink narrative. In this book Emma
Kay looks at the regional fare and dishes that have characterised
Gloucestershire over the years, as well as its food and drink markets
and famous producers and cooks. Stinking Bishops and Spotty Pigs:
Gloucestershire's Food and Drink will appeal to all those who are
interested in the history of Gloucestershire and its food and drink
heritage.
