Proceedings of the Fifth Symposium of the International Commission for Research into European Food History, Aberdeen 1997. This book is essential reading for all concerned with questions of food and health in Europe.

Thirteen countries were represented and nineteen papers are presented here on aspects of the health implications of eating and drinking, a most important subject for the present day. The Guest Speaker was Professor Hugh Pennington, Head of the University of Aberdeen’s Department of Medical Microbiology, who has been playing a national role in relation to current and recent food crises. The papers for the most part set the background against which present-day problems can be judged, while that of Hugh Pennington brings us face-to-face with current harsh realities.
