Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life. What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun way to find stuff.
This is a journal of food studies and food history that has appeared three times a year for the past twenty-one years. It was founded by Alan Davidson, author of the Oxford Companion to Food, and has recently been passed from his hands into those of Prospect Books in Devon. Issues from number 64 will be published and edited from here. The journal is A5 format and normally contains 64 or 80 pages. There are articles, notes and queries from readers, and reviews of books published in the field.

Temerity \Te*mer"i*ty\, n. [L. temeritas, from temere by chance, rashly; perhaps akin to Skr. tamas darkness: cf. F. t['e]m['e]rit['e].] Unreasonable contempt of danger; extreme venturesomeness; rashness; as, the temerity of a commander in war. Syn: Rashness; precipitancy; heedlessness; venturesomeness. Usage: {Temerity}, {Rashness}. These words are closely allied in sense, but have a slight difference in their use and application. Temerity is Latin, and rashness is Anglo-Saxon. As in many such cases, the Latin term is more select and dignified; the Anglo-Saxon more familiar and energetic. We show temerity in hasty decisions, and the conduct to which they lead. We show rashness in particular actions, as dictated by sudden impulse. It is an exhibition of temerity to approach the verge of a precipice; it is an act of rashness to jump into a river without being able to swim. Temerity, then, is an unreasonable contempt of danger; rashness is a rushing into danger from thoughtlessness or excited feeling. It is notorious temerity to pass sentence upon grounds uncapable of evidence. --Barrow. Her rush hand in evil hour Forth reaching to the fruit, she plucked, she eat. --Milton. web1913

<!ELEMENT outline (outline?|outline*)>
<!ATTLIST outline text CDATA #REQUIRED
created CDATA #REQUIRED
type (link|foo|bar) #IMPLIED
url CDATA #IMPLIED>
Rewritten to accomodate "inline" instant outlines it would look like:
<!ELEMENT outline (outline?|outline*)>
<!ATTLIST outline text CDATA #REQUIRED
created CDATA #REQUIRED
modified CDATA #REQUIRED
type (link|subscription|foo|bar) #IMPLIED
url CDATA #IMPLIED>
Which would let you do something neat like:
# @ISA = qw (XML::SAX::Base)
sub start_element {
my $self = shift;
my $data = shift;
if ($data->{Name} ne "outline") {
$self->SUPER::start_element($data);
return 1;
}
# This part of SAX2 really sucks...
if ($data->{Attributes}->{'{}type'}->{Value} ne "subscription") {
$self->SUPER::start_element($data);
return 1;
}
# mmmm...suckiness
my $uri = $data->{Attributes}->{'{}url'}->{Value};
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET=>$uri);
# I don't think Radio does this; it should.
$ua->max_size(MAX_SIZE);
# The Yeastie Girls wrote a great song called "You Suck"
$request->if_modified_since($data->{Attributes}->{'{}modified'}->{Value});
my $outline = $ua->request($request);
# Not modified. Move along, now.
# Needs to carp unless return code is OK
# or NOT_MODIFIED
if (! $outline->is_success()) {
$self->SUPER::start_element($data);
return 1;
}
# Suck it hard, baby
$data->{Attributes}->{'{}modified'}->{Value} = time;
$self->SUPER::start_element($data);
# Pass $outline->content() off to a secondary filter
# and keep munging. Note to self: hooks to prevent
# recursive instant-ness...
}
Oh well.
