The Story of the Irish Pub: An Intoxicating History of the Licensed Trade in Ireland
This book could have been so much cooler. I think I was hoping it would be more like "The Supper of the Lamb," but it wasn't because the author is not a Christian, for starters. He does have a disclaimer that the book is going to be a bit rambling and "an ignorant treatise," and it was indeed rambling and slow in part. However, it had some really interesting stuff and is good for arguing that "salt is neat!" He shows how integral salt is and has been in politics, culture, language, technology (PVC pipes!), and cooking, of course. I really enjoyed his inclusion of proverbs about salt from many different languages and various etymological nuggets.
