The Devil's Food Dictionary
Need to look up a food term? Check out The Devil's Food Dictionary by Barry Foy where you will find only the most accurate and succinct definitions. For instance, butter is "the fatty substance said to have inspired the invention of margarine," organic food is "a term describing what our ancestors knew simply as 'food,'" and shelf life is "the amount of time that a food product can be offered for sale before finally being donated to poor people." Hopefully the dictionary will someday exist in physical form and grace the countertops of kitchens everywhere.
