Cookery Collection - Unusual
If you cannot go another day without a taste of "Barney's Hot
Plate Chili," (Aunt Bea's Mayberry Cookbook), or "Nixon's
Perfectly Clear Consomme," (The Watergate Cookbook), you need
not go further. The MSU Cookery Collection features a large
number of cookbooks which defy standard categorization. There is
White Trash Cooking, a cookbook filled with "bad for you"
recipes, and one to let you know just what the Ewings were eating
when they were not buying another oil field. All contain
recipes, but more importantly suggest the ways food is reflective
of our culture - the good, the bad, and mostly the humorous.
