This thoroughly engaging encyclopedia considers the rich diversity
of unfamiliar foods eaten around the world. The title They Eat
That?: A Cultural Encyclopedia of Weird and Exotic Food from around
the World says it all. This fun encyclopedia, organized A-Z,
describes and offers cultural context for foodstuffs people eat
today that might be described as "weird"-at least to the American
palate. Entries also include American regional standards, such as
scrapple and chitterlings, that other regions might find
distasteful, as well as a few mainstream American foods, like
honey, that are equally odd when one considers their derivation. A
long narrative entry on insects, for example, discusses the fact
that insects are enjoyed as a regular part of the diet in some
Asian, South and Central American, and African countries. It then
looks at the kinds of insects eaten, where and how they are eaten,
cultural uses, nutrition, and preparation. Each of the
encyclopedia's 100 entries includes a representative recipe or, for
a food already prepared like maggoty cheese, describes how it is
eaten. Each entry ends with suggested readings. Approximately 100
entries A representative recipe for each entry Photographs and
drawings Suggested readings for each entry Alphabetical and
geographical lists of entries A selected bibliography
