(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages [402]-405) and index.

With "50 Foods," noted authority Edward Behr has created the definitive guide to the foods every food lover must know. Behr focuses on aroma, appearance, flavor, and texture to determine what "the best" means for each food. He tells you how to select top quality--signs of freshness and ripeness, best season, top varieties, proper aging. If the way to prepare, serve, or eat something is little known, then he explains it (how to open an oyster, why the best way to cook green beans is boiling, how to clean a whole salted anchovy, when to eat and when to discard the rind of a cheese).
