dantastic 's review for:

Gastro Obscura: A Food Adventurer's Guide by Cecily Wong, Dylan Thuras
4.0

My wife got me this for my birthday or Christmas or something sometime after my son was born. I managed to read it over the past few days.

Like I posted in my status, this is Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Foods for readers with many fewer testicles than the television show. I'm way more apt to consume the regional delicacies in this book. Sure, there are still weird ass things like a bunch of awks fermented inside a seal skin but that's to be expected.

The book is packed with photos and is a fun read. I grew hungry every time I picked it up. Of course, now that I'm writing the review, I can't remember a single dish or drink.
