The not-so-thin man: food and the detective novel

Article Abstract:

Fine foods are central to many modern detective novels. But the hard-boiled detective genre of the 30's and 40's featured liquor. English detective stories have food references but only as they relate to the plot. The change reflects the better education of the authors, and the rise of the female hero.
