Descriptions of food in books by Enid Blyton and Rowling have readers drooling.
Quote:
In Harry Potter's magical world. regular food items like puddings, trifles, roast beef and ice creams are foods common in the muggle world too. But it is the other foods common items that give a hint of the magical. For instance there is Butter Beer, a frothy drink. Bertie's All flavoured Beans, are all magical because you don't know what flavour you're going to get!
Quote:
Food becomes a symbol of freedom from home,school and authority. Food thus is a significant theme in children's literature; and not or a slice of that cake!
