Acquired Tastes: On The Trail Of The World's Most Sought-after Delicacies |
|
Annotations:
This follow-up to "In Bad Taste" goes where no other book has gone before. Dr. Marcone journeys into remote regions in search of shark-fin soup, ant eggs, scorpions, fried grasshoppers, seal-flipper pie, and other amazing things human beings are willing to eat to sustain themselves. His investigations lead to fundamental questions: Why do people eat this food, and what makes it a delicacy? Is it a delicacy simply because it is rare or odd? Why is it so expensive? Is it truly quantifiably different or better than their more conventional varieties?
