(3) 4-6 Illustrated by John O'Brien. "Our entire culture is based on [food]," writes Jones; her brief but engaging tidbits about the history of food-related words and phrases prove her claim with panache. Chapters focusing on foods named after people and places, food-related terms and sayings, and words with etymologies rooted in food are just a few of the topics addressed. Pen-and-ink illustrations complement the text's humorous tone. Bib., ind.
