Acquired Tastes, originally published as Expensive Habits, is a celebration of life's extravagances. It explores an aspect of human nature that, although dormant in hard economic times, is capable of erupting with the hint of good fortune and the drop of a credit card. It samples the luxuries of Havana cigars, Parisian hotels, bespoke London tailoring, and handmade shoes; discusses the proper color for a stretch limousine; and weighs the cost versus the pleasure of keeping a mistress. The proper way to eat true caviar is explained while providing the listener with hours of pure, unadulterated escapism.
©1991 Peter Mayle (P)2011 Escargot Productions, Ltd.From culinary and typical French delights such as oysters, black truffles, foie gras and wine to Cuban cigars and their proper storage, the question of why you should prefer a chauffeur-driven limousine to a helicopter or when and for whom it is worth flying in a private jet instead of a commercial airliner.
Mayle dedicates a separate chapter to each topic and does so in his usual entertaining and amusing manner and always with a wink.
Entertaining and extremely amusing
