The Language of Food: A Linguist Reads the Menu by Dan Jurafsky

*** 3 stars

A fun book to skim.  Some sections were more interesting than others.  The author inserted himself into the book a little bit too much and I found the book to be less about language and more about history. I know that is what linguistics is, but the focus was a little different than I expected. But it was diverting enough for a light read.
