Food and Fiction
Last night I had a baked potato for dinner and it made me think of The Accidental Tourist, the novel by Anne Tyler. The family the book revolves around eats baked potatoes constantly, and the baked potato acts as sort of a metaphor for the character of the family - bland, boring, wholesome. Although I don't think baked potatoes are always boring (mine was quite delightful last night), I now associate baked potatoes with that book.
What foods do you associate with certain books?
