Product Information

Falls man ein Gericht ausprobieren möchte, hat die Autorin die Absätze mit kleinen hilfreichen Randnotizen versehen. Als nächstes habe ich mir Panama vorgenommen, denn dies ist mein nächstes Reiseziel und ich bin jetzt noch neugieriger. Maybe when it gets on to Western Europe (next section), I will be enthralled by all the food I didn't know of and want to try?

The section dedicated to the US is huge, and if I ever find myself on the east coast in late September, you better believe I’ll be making the detour to West Virginia’s annual roadkill cook-off.We are experiencing delays with deliveries to many countries, but in most cases local services have now resumed.

Or, ‘The History of the World in 100 objects’, by Neil Macgregor which records important individual archaeological finds throughout history.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

Ich schätze 95 % der aufgeführten Gerichte würde ich nicht essen, aber in dem Buch geht es auch viel mehr um die Geschichte hinter der Mahlzeit. I feel nauseous, describing blood clots as silky is sickening, saying they burst and melt in the mouth is very, very sickening and then describing the taste of blood as something you'd really want to eat is horrible beyond anything I've ever read.So, as someone who considers themselves a traveling epicurean, it is evident that I picked up this book. This book is an incredible celebration of diversity – the many fascinating ways that humanity has figured out how to feed itself. An ambitious, exciting, and zany anthology of heritage foodways, Gastro Obscura tells the stories no one else is telling. The original site – and its first book by the same name – is a crowd-sourced collection of weird and wonderful attractions around the world, be they strange museums, unusual folk traditions or unexpected attractions. Sure, there are still weird ass things like a bunch of awks fermented inside a seal skin but that's to be expected.

Each entry has "How To Try It" guidance for finding the dish (in its place of origin or online) or making it at home. This book gives us a wide variety of what people eat throughout the world with interesting facts from the beginning to end.There have been many types of books in history that collect and organise content from other sources. What impressed me was how much ingenuity that had when they made ice cream in the desert and the use of geothermal energy to make bread. A] colorfully illustrated, totally entertaining tour through global cuisine, particularly the quirky sort. Focusing as much on food’s place in our lives as well as our bellies, the book covers history – the network of ancient Roman fish sauce factories. It’s the perfect book to have sitting on the coffee table, to browse and dip into, and read the quirkiest and most fascinating bits aloud to anyone in earshot!
