With the best of intentions I started a blog to archive foodie references in popular culture. Now I'm shelving it. Far too much effort to keep it going. So I'll collapse it back into this one. Foodie posting here might be a tad sporadic in the future, but for the time being there's enough to cannibalise from the other place. Ciao, fictionfood.

About Me
I have modestly given myself the name of the greatest of the Eldar: Fëanor, the maker of the Silmarils and the creator of the Tengwar. He was a Master of many things. I am merely a Jack.

Oh, I'll miss it as I thought it was brilliant, but then if you write about it here, that's ok:) But it is quite hard to concentrate on food in fiction isn't it? Especially if you need to actually read the story.
Thanks, CB, for the kind words. I did think I could keep it going - but there were large patches of nothingness. But I do tend to keep a note of foodie references in any book I come across, and then it's a question of being disciplined enough to blog it! I thought it might expand beyond books, but transcribing from TV and film and the like is even trickier. Hence the fadeaway of fictionfood...
