A true love  letter to American food, the menu included some eighty specialties,  from Mississippi black bass to Philadelphia terrapin. Andrew Beahrs  chooses eight of these regionally distinctive foods, retracing Twain's  footsteps as he sets out to discover whether they can still be found on  American tables. Weaving together passages from Twain's famous works  and Beahrs's own adventures, this travelogue-cum-culinary-history takes  us back to a bygone era when wild foods were at the heart of American  cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42957459095807,"sku":"9780143119340","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780143119340_s600x595.jpg?v=1777307603","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780143119340","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
