Andrew Zimmern's Field Guide to Exceptionally Weird, Wild, & Wonderful Foods: An Intrepid Eater's Digest by Andrew Zimmern 197 pp.
This book is full of weird food, hilarious commentary, sidebars of interesting and often funny information, and lots of photos. It's intended for kids but adults, especially fans of Zimmern's show Bizarre Foods, will enjoy it. The intention was to show children that foods are a cultural thing and what we consider strange are everyday items for others. However, it didn't make me the slightest bit inclined to eat some of the featured items. Some of the ones I have tried, like haggis and alligator, while not awful, didn't impress me. The book did impress me and is lots of fun.
