"A bracingly funny writer…Whether he's choking down dog stew in
Korea or sipping cobra bile in China, Parker Bowles imbues his
odyssey with self-deprecatory wit and sensitivity that make this
travelogue a rare treat."--"Entertainment Weekly"
Tom Parker Bowles is a fiend for great flavor, and does not
shy away from strange-looking, spicy, or otherwise "dangerous"
foods whether in London or halfway around the world. Raised
with a taste for fresh, simply prepared foods, he nevertheless was
always intrigued by "exotic" foods, especially the kinds found in
America--no Spanish or French food for him, thank you "A chili
freak who always carries a bottle of Tabasco" ("People"), Tom is no
food snob.
His journey took him from the potentially lethal—fugu,
the infamous poisonous blowfish —to the merely nauseating to the
unexpectedly delectable. As he traveled through Asia and Europe,
guided by friends and locals, he warily ate dog, snake,
insects, offal, and a variety of sea creatures. In the United
States, he ignored warnings from those who knew better as
he eagerly stuffed himself with much too much barbecue in
Tennessee and some of the hottest of the hot sauces at The
National Fiery Foods Show in New Mexico. "Smart, stylish, erudite
and hip in a sardonic, unmistakably limey sense--like a lost son of
Nigella Lawson and Eddie Izzard" ("Radar"), Tom Parker Bowles makes
even a cringe-worthy meal worth the trip.
