A New York Times, USA Today, and national indie bestseller. A Feast
of Wonder! Created by the ever-curious minds behind Atlas Obscura,
this breath-taking guide transforms our sense of what people around
the world eat and drink. Covering all seven continents, Gastro
Obscura serves up a loaded plate of incredible ingredients, food
adventures, and edible wonders. Ready for a beer made from fog in
Chile? Sardinia's "Threads of God" pasta? Egypt's 2000-year-old egg
ovens? But far more than a menu of curious minds delicacies and
unexpected dishes, Gastro Obscura reveals food's central place in
our lives as well as our bellies, touching on history-trace the
network of ancient Roman fish sauce factories. Culture-picture four
million women gathering to make rice pudding. Travel-scale China's
sacred Mount Hua to reach a tea house. Festivals-feed wild macaques
pyramid of fruit at Thailand's Monkey Buffet Festival. And hidden
gems that might be right around the corner, like the vending
machine in Texas dispensing full sized pecan pies. Dig in and feed
your sense of wonder. "Like a great tapas meal, Gastro Obscura is
deep yet snackable, and full of surprises. This is the book for
anyone interested in eating, adventure and the human condition."
-Tom Colicchio, chef and activist "This exquisite guide kept me at
the breakfast table until dinner time." -Kyle Maclachlan, actor and
vintner
