Book Reviews of Wine Food & Friends
Book Review: Chose It Over Its Chief Competitor
Summary: 5 Stars
I have already commented on the virtues of this book which influenced me to prefer it over the highly vaunted volume: What To Drink With What You Eat by Dornenburg/Page. See the review there for the contrast, if interested.
The only thing that bugged me here was the apparent reluctance to use the word "Christmas" (!!!), but only the innocuous substitute "holiday" in the book's "Winter" section. Are you kidding me? I realize MacNeil is the host of a PBS series, but has the tyranny of political correctness now extended this far? If the author finds no personal significance in the meaning of this most cherished of American celebrations, it was at the very least a major missed opportunity to address the occasion (directly) in her otherwise fine work. (Needless to say, the same applies to the "Easter"/"spring celebration" situation.)
