A shame we didn't get to meet on this one: the food options were immense, including "Chicken" and several European countries, not to mention some more unusual South American cuisines.
We did, however, discuss this book at Canteen (see #53) and it was generally considered a hit. This book was appealing, funny, sad, warm and slightly uncomfortable due to archaic references to other races. It featured well-sketched characters and great scenes and it conjured a splendid sense of another time and place. This was an aunt with whom we'd all have liked to travel.
