Teaser Tuesday!
By Lisa. Filed in Teaser Tuesdays |
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. You know the rules: grab your current read, open to a random page and share a two sentence teaser with us (no spoilers!). Be sure to tell us about the book, so we can add it to our TBR list!
This week, I am back to a book I started last year and didn’t finish. It’s The Taste of Tomorrow: Dispatches from the Future of Food by Josh Schonwald, all about the newest trends and technology bringing food to our dinner tables. You know, sometimes, we forget that things that are commonplace today were virtually unknown just a few short years ago:
“In 2000, the average American didn’t know what a tilapia was. Some thought it sounded like a venereal disease.”
And I had it for dinner tonight. Oh my.
I’ve got a new policy when it comes to commenting on Teasers: stick to two sentences, or I’m not leaving a comment. Really, this is supposed to be a teaser, not a paragraph! I’ve gotten annoyed with the people who post 4, 5, even 6 sentences. They’re missing the whole point.

Good thing it’s not what some people thought.
I’ve got some in my freezer right now.
Great teaser. Please check out my teaser.

I don’t think I knew what tiliapia was in 2000, so I must be pretty average! Here is my teaser for this week.

I mean ’tilapia’. Excuse my spelling!

Oh this sounds like a book I would love! I *did* know about tilapia.
I often post a paragraph
But even if you don’t want to comment on my post today, please, please, please do consider linking up your review of this book (no matter what day of the week it’s posted) to my Weekend Cooking feature, which goes up on Saturdays. A lot of us would be interested in your thoughts about this book.

Mmmm. Tilapia. This sounds like a book I’d enjoy since I do love to eat!
My Teaser is from TEN TINY BREATHS.

I like the idea of Tilapia – almost enough to go search it on Google
With all the horse meat in our beef it doesn’t pay not to check on what you’re eating
