Prologue, Ken Albala; Chapter 2 A Culinary Captatio Benevolentiae: The Use
of the Truffle as a Promotional Gift by the Savoy Dynasty in the Eighteenth
Century, Rengenier C. Rittersma; Chapter 3 1I would like to express my
gratitude to Daniëlle De Vooght for her encouragement and patience with
this chapter. I would also like to express my appreciation to Stephen
Mennell for his books and articles on the history of food and drink in
England and France, and for Introductionducing me to the "figurational
sociology" of Norbert Elias. It is hoped that a historian's version of
Elias's methodology has been thoughtfully applied in this chapter. In
London, Karin Thyselius and Dick Schumacher provided their usual warm
hospitality during the final research phase of this chapter. In Old Lyme,
Connecticut, where the bulk of this chapter was written, my parents, Jane
and Townsend Ludington, happily kept the children occupied, and at Duke
University, Philip Stern provided helpful last-minute comments. Lastly, I
would like to thank David Cannadine. For his assistance with this chapter,
and for his friendship, this chapter is dedicated to him., Charles C.
