All aboard for a delicious ride on nine legendary railway journeys! Meals associated
with train travel have been an important aspect of railway history for more than a
century - from dinners in dining cars to lunches at station buffets to foods purchased
from platform vendors. For many travellers, the experience of eating on a railway
journey is often a highlight of the trip, a major part of the `romance of the rails'.
Food on the Move focuses on the culinary history of these famous journeys on five
continents, from the earliest days of rail travel to the present. The engaging story
and vivid illustrations invite readers to discover an array of railway feasts: haute
cuisine in the elegant dining carriages of the Orient Express, American steak-and-eggs
on the Santa Fe Super Chief, and home-cooked regional foods along the Trans-Siberian
tracks. Readers will be tempted to eat their way across Canada's vast interior and
Australia's dusty Outback; grab an infamous `British railway sandwich' to munch on
the Flying Scotsman; snack on spicy samosas on the Darjeeling Himalayan `Toy Train';
dine at high speed on Japan's `Bullet Train'; and sip South African wines in a Blue
Train luxury lounge car featuring windows of glass fused with gold dust. Written by
eight different authors who have travelled on those legendary lines, the book include
recipes, from the dining cars and station eateries, taken from historical menus and
contributed by contemporary chefs. Food on the Move is a veritable feast!
