    Bien fait, Cynthia! and distillers--whiskey folks, bourbon 'stillers especially--of course are going to be fans of your book! :lol:

    BTW, don't know whether or not you saw Rachel's recent blog on corn (you're in her bibliography, of course).

    Rachel's an old friend from way back, and has done some very interesting food history cum anthropology over the years.

    Thanks, Geo. And yes, I did see Rachel's blog -- and sent her a note of thanks. I'm a huge fan of her work -- and even did a post about her Cuisine and Empire book on my own blog. So not friends in the traditional sense, but "friends" in the online sense. Nice to know someone who actually knows her. I also love her blog. You'll often see replies from Waltzing Australia there, and that's me.

    Rachel's husband and I are in the same line o' work, so she and I met eons ago. In the meantime we discovered our mutual interest in food history/anthropology, so that cemented the connection. She's *awfully* good folks!

    Double your pleasure, double your fun -- two LTHers in one --the July/August issue of Plate, that is. I have a short piece on the historical influences on food in the Caribbean (which was, sadly, shortened to fit -- it's a remarkable history), and then a few pages later, there's a longer article by David Hammond.

    "We found out about it by doing a search for "Granite City" on the LTH Forum, a Chicago-based food blog that's been known to stray across Illinois and the Midwest in search of local delicacies. ("LTH" stands for Little Three Happiness, a small restaurant beloved by foodies in Chicago's Chinatown.) The search turned up a post on "The Great River Road," with stops in Madison County."

    "The same thread recommended Ernie & Annie's, an old bar in Granite City where deep-fried tacos are the specialty, located at 935 Niedringhaus Ave."

    From the first dispatch of "Where we've been" from the One Illinois by One Illinois Media Group Website.

    Da Beef,

    I was born Granite, but haven't been back for a few years. I'll have to castigate my cousins for not taking me to either of these places! But I will counter by saying that I've been to Beasley's Fish in Grafton, so maybe that will ease my guilt a bit...

    My new book is just a bit more than a week from release to the public. (Reviewers have gotten their copies already.) But aside from my being on LTH, there are a number of other LTHers present in the book, either interviewed or in the acknowledgements. Title is Pigs, Pork, and Heartland Hogs: From Wild Boar to Baconfest, from Rowman & Littlefield (Ken Albala's food studies series).

    Because I consider everyone on LTH to be a friend, I'm passing along the Friends and Family discount the publisher is offering -- 30% off the cover price. Here's the official info from R&L.
    Order directly through Rowman & Littlefield at https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781538110744 for a 30% discount on Pigs, Pork, and Heartland Hogs. Use promotion code RLFANDF30 at checkout for 30% off – this promotion is valid until December 31, 2019. This offer cannot be combined with any other promo or discount offers.


    I think it's a fun story -- pigs have been a big part of life for a long time, and there have been some adventures along the way.

    Heh-heh Cynthia, I ordered an advance copy so I guess you'll just have to figure out what to do with that extra 30% on your royalty (if they give it to you!).

    Best of luck with your new offering!
