I saw this book for sale at Building 19 (where they often have lots of good books cheap!) and couldn't resist picking it up. Afterall, it isn't often that I meet a food-related book that I don't enjoy. This collection of columns were mostly previously published in newspapers and journals. The essays focus on food experiences Walsh had while travelling. At each of the places he went he tried to ingest something that was unique to that locale...from the hottest of hot peppers, to the durian fruit, to Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. Many of the essays made my mouth water and I was thinking of hopping on a plane to the different locales and trying out some of the same food.
