JOMP BPC - 6th August - Best Fictional Food

I've posted about this novel before. Last time I said this: Emma Jane Unsworth described this book as “The most visceral, satisfying, wildly indulgent thing I’ve read in years” - and she was right. I’ve spent most of my life being ridiculously well-behaved and responsible and in control of myself, so the wildness of the young female characters in Supper Club was thrilling to me, but also deeply unsettling. It’s a book about hunger and satisfaction, loneliness and friendship, rage and joy. Just writing about it makes me want to read it again.

So the book is about - amongst other things - young women having appetites, about eating for pleasure, eating messily, eating with abandon; about being wild; the opposite of controlled and careful and ladylike. Here's a quote taken from one of the supper clubs the characters organise: After the tuna we had a smaller course of spaghetti puttanesca - served in sundae bowls we'd found in the kitchen. The pasta was a little overcooked but the fiery anchovy sauce was delicious: finished with an extra drizzle of chilli oil, its red flecks spitting and popping from the pan. We'd eaten all the bread and so we cleaned the last of it with our fingers and hands, the heels of our wrists working the lips of the bowls. The fat and the tomatoes left a thin red tideline around our mouths, which we dabbed at with tissues.

The Edible Flower-Cookbook review

Photograph by Sharon Cosgrove It has been quite some time since I have reviewed a cookbook on this blog, not because I haven’t been offered cookbooks, publishers often send me press releases of their latest clutch of books….it is just none of the synopses have intrigued or peaked my interest. The Edible Flower on the other hand did that in spades. It is not just a cook book which uses edible…

and before you come for me in the tags/comments, yes, i know that these are not exclusive to wisconsin. these just happen to be some of the very wisconsin-esque foods that i grew up with. and yes, i'm sure there are some that i wasn't able to include. if i get enough recommendations for others, i'll happily make a part two!

Del-Bar, Wisconsin Dells, 7/20/24

exterior – 800 Wisconsin Dells Pkwy, Wisconsin Dells, WI 53965 The Del-Bar has been in business since 1943 when Jim and Alice Wimmer took the plunge and bought an existing roadside restaurant known for its char-broiled steaks.  The restaurant had its 75th anniversary in 2018 when the third generation (two grand-daughters) of the Wimmers took control.  This large place is about tradition and the…

The Palizzi Social Club is a curious throwback to a different time: open four days a week with only 30 seats, the only way to dine here is to either be a member or know a member (and even then, the number of guests a member can bring is limited to three). Originally opened in 1918, the only way to know you’re at the club is the neon sign on the transom: if it’s on, it means the club is open. 

The Palizzi’s experience comes with multiple rules: no photos of any kind of the interior (I checked to make sure taking a photo of the neon was OK), no excessive cell phone usage, proper dress required, don’t make too much noise or linger too long out front, and, uh, what happens there, stays there. They ask not to be blogged or tagged or reviewed, but if you go to their IG account you can see a lot of tagged photos of this neon sign as well as a few pictures, here and there, of the interior itself. 

I’m working on a larger piece on the notion of supper club-style restaurants after having been to two in the last year, but in the meantime, this banger from Helen Rosner at The New Yorker is very much worth reading.

Book 4/12 - Supper Club, Lara Williams

Great read, considering I was so into it I read it in like 3-4 days. I may have also been motivated by not wanting to break my monthly book reading streak.

I could’ve read a shorter book though if that was my true motivation. I think any book that has to do with food is an easy read for me. Loved those little breaks between chapters where she gave recipe instructions on certain foods. Her description of them probably alludes to some of her internal struggles. If I was a better reader, I could probably make a stronger connection between them 😭

A book about women and hunger and taking up space. TW for graphic rape scene + body and self image issues
