Food in Detective Stories

In a conversation today, I mentioned that I had written several posts about food in detective stories, but that the posts were buried among many others. So here's a partial list:

• The Empty Tureen
• Aurelio Zen eats a hamburger
• Commissario Brunetti Eats Lunch
• What did Colombo eat?
• Real Nero Wolfe, Black Orchids and Corned-Beef Hash and Secret Recipes (about Nero Wolfe)
• "The Janissary Tree"
• Murder -- with recipes? about The Body in the Ivy by Katherine Hall Page
• The Inspector's Dinner Party about Martin Beck books by Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo
• Inspector Montalbano Identifies Himself and "The Snack Thief" about the works of Andrea Camilleri
• P. D. James
• "A Bitter Feast" and "Reflecting the Sky" (about S. J. Rozan)
• Fabulous Book about The Last Chinese Chef
• "An Instance of the Fingerpost"
• What do members of the Yiddish Policemen's Union Eat? about Chabon's book and some of the borscht-belt food that he invokes.
  
• Tuna-Noodle Casserole, Literary Version about Robert Parker's detective stories and one particular example of his pretensions about food.
• Elmore Leonard's Kitchen about one mystery where several key scenes take place in the kitchen, and where food is quite central to the characters' development.
  
• Dining with Exotic Policemen and Weird Food and not for Halloween about Chinese author Qiu Xiaolong’s mystery novel Death of a Red Heroine and the exotic foods eaten by the detective, including snake.
  
• Tony Hillerman (link to his obituary)
• and my guest posts at the blog "The Hanged Juror" about Hillerman, Agatha Christie, and others.
