Folklorist Ben Gazur investigates the origins of famous food superstitions.

Who was the first person to throw salt over their shoulder? Why do we hurl ourselves down hills in pursuit of a wheel of cheese? How do you stop witches using eggshells as escape boats? A Feast of Folklore guides readers through the dark alleys of British history to uncover how our food habits have been passed down through the generations.
