Two excellent and fun food guides are a cut above the norm, blending a healthy dose of humor with real food lore. Norman Kolpas' Practically Useless Information: Food And Drink (1401602053, $16.99) gathers offbeat, unusual, interesting food trivia and drink facts, from the menu for the last dinner on the Titanic to official national food observances in September and the origins of 'roasting, Norman Kolpas' is coated with warm facts and fun fancy. Speaking of 'fun', it's hard to know where to review Jeff Foxworthy's latest The Redneck Grill: The Most Fun You Can Have With Fire, Characoal, And A Dead Animal (1401601995, $15.99): it would do equally well in our humor section, but is featured here for its very serious barbecue recipes, from grilled rabbit to maple-grilled pound cake. Add a layer of saucy Foxworthy redneck humor and Southern spice and an exceptionally handy 'glazed hardcover' format with spill-proof pages and you have a book readily accessible by the 'que.
