Product Description
The Devil's Food Dictionary is a full-blown culinary dictionary parody. Uniquely loony, edgy, and funny, it boasts nearly 1,100 entries, 250 footnotes, an extensive phony bibliography, and 26 illustrations. This is the most creative food writing being done anywhere, either in print or online.

Incredibly Funny! October 22, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
With the 2008 election in its final weeks and the economy in a shambles, this book is the best medicine. Nothing like a good (really, really good) laugh to take the edge off. Foy is brilliant. Every entry made me laugh out loud...and I'm not much of a laugh-out-louder.

Who is this guy and how did he get so funny? Nearly every page has had me doubled over in laughter. A brilliant satire of food reference works, food history, food writing in general.
