About this ebook:
Peter Minuit kocht in 1626 Manhattan voor 24 dollar, en niet veel later kwamen ook de oesterbanken bij Ellis Island in Nederlandse handen. New York groeide uit tot een stad die beroemd was om haar oesters, die in brede kringen en in grote hoeveelheden werden geconsumeerd - en men kwam van over de hele wereld om ze te proeven. Het is mede dankzij haar oesters dat New York zich ontwikkelde tot toonaangevend centrum van de internationale gastronomie.Mark Kurlansky schetst de geschiedenis van een stad en haar oesters. Hij gaat niet alleen in op de culinaire betekenis van de oester maar laat ook zien dat die een belangrijke culturele en economische functie vervulde. Zo werden de schelpen gebruikt voor de aanleg van dijken en wegen en waren oesters lange tijd een belangrijk exportproduct. Voor armen, rijken en toeristen stonden oesters bijna dagelijks op het menu. Aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw maakte ernstige vervuiling van het water een einde aan de New Yorkse oester.
