Book excerpt: Eating is more than just feeding the body. The time for a meal is the time to unite the community around a table and share. The taste of food can evoke feelings and memories such as longing, joy and contemplation. Knowing this, writers have always used food as a subject in their works, to metaphorize feelings and thoughts. The critic August Nemo selected seven short stories by great authors who mixed literature and cuisine. Enjoy! - A Piece of Steak by Jack London - Gooseberries by Anton Chekhov - A Dinner by Alexander Kielland - The New Food by Stephen Leacock - White Bread by Zona Gale - Witches' Loaves by O. Henry - Tea by Saki For more books with interesting themes, be sure to check the other books in this collection!
