The Menu Decoder

This is a great companion for the foodie. It is sized to fit in a shirt or inside jacket pocket so it can be taken on food adventures. The slim volume is divided into chapters by geogtraphic area and each chapter has information on the culinary history of the area and advice for ordering in restaurants. My copy was published in 1980 and purchased in 1983. I take it with me when travelling to cities with a wide choice of ethnic restaurants. With over 10,000 terms defined in it's pages, I can always find something interesting to try - and avoid items that could trigger alergic reactions!Cons: There is no pronounciation guide and the type is rather small.If you enjoy ethnic food, this thin volume will give you the information needed to choose widely in your food adventures.
