This compendium of stories about offbeat (mostly revolting) things people eat is packed with compelling, humorous, and shocking data about international gustatory trends for the curious gourmand. Readers interested in bizarre facts like the actual composition of scrapple will be pleased, but the volume loses some focus as it strays to include only tangentially related cultural trivia.
