Summary: "Cakes & Ale" by Edward Spencer is a collection of essays on food and banquets written in the late 19th century. The work explores the art of gastronomy, interspersed with various anecdotes and recipes, showcasing the culinary traditions and social customs surrounding meals in England." The opening of "Cakes & Ale" presents a humorous preface that reflects on the author's journey to write a book on food after encouragement from a publisher. He recounts the ambivalence he feels about his cooking skills while humorously addressing the notion of what constitutes good food and the social importance of meals, particularly breakfast. The narrative introduces us to the eccentricities of dining, touching on historical practices, different meal customs across eras, and a gentle critique of contemporary dining manners and practices in England, setting the tone for a culinary exploration that combines knowledge, anecdote, and humor.
