I'm looking for titles of books that have a name of a food item in the title. For example, "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" by Fanny Flagg. Any ideas? Cookbooks are too obvious. Thanks.

I'd better stop now! I think you've created a monster with this great question. :)

***Oh, no, both arabesque and reader are egging me on (isn't it nice to be able to blame someone else for your own obsessive qualities?).

reader, I definitely remember it! I never realized just how many novels there were with food of some sort in the title!

Okay, this has gotten ridiculous. I just added a few more (and a few more after that), but now - truly - I give....

***Edition of Day #2...No, arabesque, I haven't read all of these, but I have read some. I can't believe I hadn't thought of The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew (I noticed it on your list), which I have read.

For some reason, nobody put:
-Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain (a huckleberry is "Any of various dark-fruited as distinguished from blue-fruited blueberries")
-Like Dandelion Dust by Karen Kingsbury
***Oops, missed Dandelion Wine on your list...it is forthwith removed!
