I love to read about food in any book. When I was a kid I thought British food must be soooo delicious because of Harry Potter 😂 I still get excited whenever a book mentions food, even if it’s just something ordinary like bacon and eggs or ice cream soda. Books can also affect my preferences for food during the time I read them, for example, when I was reading The Winds of War, a book about WWII, my diet consisted of food from the Axis Powers solely! I ate so much German sausage, Japanese potato salad, Japanese beef tongue, Japanese fried chicken, and pasta (my record is eating pasta and meatballs four nights in one week!). Apparently my appetite decided to be very different from my political views 😂
In Brotherhood In Death by J D Robb (nom de plume of Nora Roberts). There’s this whole thing where they are searching a house and there is a room full of dolls. The Lieutenant (Eve) finds dolls creepy and her partner usually likes dolls but even she gets creeped out by them. Eve goes through scenarios of what they get up to when no one’s looking - it’s hilarious.
