Guinness Books about Food and Drinks
The origin
of the Guinness Book of Records is, of course, within the Guinness brewing
empire. As the pub trade developed, food became an important (arguably the
most important) factor in the business. Guinness was aware of its importance
from the 1950s, and Guinness Publishing continued to promote food
and drink through many of its publications. This section of our site
has details of some of the books published by the Guinness group in this
area.

Field, Illustrated London News, The Sphere, Sport and
Country, Tatler and Bystander, Geographical Magazine,
Scottish Field, Scotland's Magazine, Punch, and The
Family Doctor in 1953.
