    Abstract: "This book traces the changes in eating out since the early nineteenth century when England was becoming an urban, industrial society. It describes the eating out habits of the rich, the middle classes and the poor; what and where they ate and how much they paid. It examines a wide range of eating places, from coffee rooms and chop-houses to luxury hotels and Edwardian dining, from cafes and fish and chip shops to burger bars and ethnic restaurants." "But eating out is not simply a way of satisfying appetites. It is now an established part of modern leisure, bringing social and psychological satisfactions well beyond the food itself, and has central importance to the way we live and eat today."--Jacket
    Abstract: "Eating out is a major social activity in England and makes up about a third of what we spend on food. This is a quite recent change. In the past people ate away from home mainly from necessity, refuelling their bodies for work; men bought from street-sellers and cookshops or ate and drank in pubs or clubs. Eating out for pleasure was mainly restricted to the wealthier classes when travelling or on holiday, and women did not normally eat in public places. It was only after World War Two that eating out became common to all classes - men, women and young people - as a result of rising standards of living, the growth of leisure, and the emergence of new types of catering with wide popular appeal."

    Abstract: Drinking has always meant much more than satisfying the thirst. Drinking can be a necessity, a comfort, an indulgence or a social activity. Liquid Pleasures is an engrossing study of the social history of drinks in Britain from the late seventeenth century to the present. From the first cup of tea at breakfast to mid-morning coffee, to an eveining beer and a 'night-cap', John Burnett discusses individual drinks and drinking patterns which have varied not least with personal taste but also with age, gender, region and class. He shows how different ages have viewed the same drink as either demon poison or medicine. John Burnett traces the history of what has been drunk in Britain from the 'hot beverage revolution' of the late seventeenth century - connecting drinks and related substances such as sugar to empire - right up to the 'cold drinks revolution' of the late twentieth century, examining the factors which have determined these major changes in our dietary habits.
