Wilson, Robert Forrest. How to Wine and Dine in Paris. First Edition. 1930. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in good condition. The paper for the jacket of this title is thin and fragile. It is a wonder it has survived at all, nor has it in most copies. This shows a 1-inch chip to the upper spine and paper loss to the corners.
The idea behind this book is that to enjoy the flavors of Paris, one must understand the flavor of Paris. With the American traveler in mind, the book lays out the customs and practices of Parisian restaurants, from its cafés to its finest restaurants. It then segues into information about specific venues.
“The American aversion to snails is due to a national insistence upon regarding them as worms. Of course, they are not worms. The snail is a mollusk, which is a fairly noble thing for an animal to be.”
