I honestly don’t know how this book could have been better so I gave it 5 stars. I made me yearn to travel and explore all the foods the world has to offer. I really enjoyed it so much and got sucked into the different stories and snippets.

It was okay. Filled with interesting facts, but the voice is so bland.

Another internet: the book! Food-related Atlas Obscura entries spun off into Gastro Obscura, blending actual food information, historical factoids, and historical oddities into one coffee table book. A nice browse. North America was definitely disproportionately represented (with regions of the US on a similar standing with whole countries), but AO is a United States based site so that's unsurprising.
