Описание: "I could not have written A Cook's Tour without this book. There is so much I would have missed. So dig in. Enjoy...Eat. Eat adventurously. Miss nothing. It's all here in these pages." --From the Foreword by Anthony Bourdain

Sit down for a meal with the locals on six continents--what they eat may surprise you. Extreme Cuisine examines eating habits across the global neighborhood, showing once and for all that road kill in one culture is restaurant fare in another

"I've tried to make this book a guide to how the other half dines and why. Over a period of twenty-five years I've augmented my meat-and-potatoes upbringing in the United States to try a wide variety of regional specialties, from steamed water beetles, fried grasshoppers and ants, to sparrow, bison and crocodile. I've eaten deep-fried bull's testicles in Mexico, live shrimp sushi in Hawaii, mice cooked over an open wood fire in Thailand, pig stomach soup in Singapore, minced water buffalo and yak butter tea in Nepal, stir-fried dog tongue, and 'five penis wine' in China." --From the introduction by Jerry Hopkins

Dive headfirst into food culture from around the world. Join author Jerry Hopkins on a culinary and cultural tour as he explores foods that may seem bizarre, and often off-putting, to us. As he says, "What is considered repulsive to someone in one part of the world, in another part of the world is simply considered lunch."

Part travelogue, part cultural commentary and history, and part cookbook (yes, really), with Extreme Cuisine anyone can become an adventurous eater--or at least learn what it's like to be one.

Описание: 1863 was a tough year for Jerry. After his father was killed in the war, he was forced to leave his home and move in with his Uncle Walter. Jerry's young age and orphan status made him a target for the Beesley family (longtime rivals of the Hopkins' family) and they concocted a plan to steal his land and send him to an orphanage. But the Beesley's sorely underestimated young Jerry and his capability for revenge...Jerry Hopkins is the story of a war orphan and those who mistakenly thought they could outsmart him.
