Unmentionable cuisine

About this book

An engaging look at "food prejudices " or why we eat what we eat and why we reject other food sources as unpalatable--with recipes! "This is a unique and engrossing work and to my mind an important contribution to the annals of gastronomy. It will not of course appeal to all palates . . . but neither do snails and sweetbreads brains and other oddments of animals." --Craig Claiborne "I read from cover to cover with huge enjoyment. . . I can recall no other book that has covered the subject of strange foods with quite his flair and authority and I consider the book required reading for anyone interested in the lore of food." --James Beard
