For such small fish, anchovies pack a big punch. They can be eaten on their own or as part of almost any dish, from pasta sauces to vinaigrettes. Yet for every person who loves them there will be another for whom they provoke the deepest revulsion. Christopher Beckman’s fascinating history explores this polarized relationship in the culinary outlooks of five countries: Britain, France, Italy, Spain and the US. It’s a story of changing tastes, of class and of regional and cultural differences.

Families. You can’t live with them, and you can’t find some devious future way to escape them, destroy them, or shape them to your own evil ends. But wait! Maybe you can: if only in some of the great worlds of science fiction. Some of the most famous fictional parents come from distant planets or far future times, and many of them are dear to me from formative film experiences, starting with Darth Vader and Ellen Ripley.
