A review by geekwayne
Meal by Soleil Ho, Blue Delliquanti
3.0
'Meal' by Blue Delliquanti and Soleil Ho is a graphic novel about diversity in life and food. I found the story to be charming and informative.
Yarrow moves to a new town to work for a new restaurant that specializes in the cuisine of entomophagy. Entomophagy is insect-based cuising, and Yarrow has experience by growing her own mealworms. Her first experience with the chef/owner is a bit abrupt and she is sent off to make a simple dish. She wants to do her best but keeps overcomplicating things until she discovers that the important thing is to transport people with her cooking.
There is an interesting essay about cultures that eat insects, and even a recipe. The story is good, but feels a bit preachy more than informative at times. The art is also good, and I liked these characters.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Iron Circus in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
