About book A Moveable Feast: Life-Changing Food Adventures Around The World (2010)
This was every bit as much about the people and places and cultures visited as it was about the food. Some of the stories are not for "younger or more sensitive viewers," but the the truly stomach-turning were the few exceptions and even these gave fascinating glimpses of lives lived in other places. Easy to pick up and put down, easy to skip a story you find too much. Even this vegan found every one interesting. I enjoyed this travel book while travelling. I love trying new foods so this book was a perfect read for me. The 38 short articles were perfect as one could read here and there as one goes. The down side is sometimes as I got into a story, it ended, almost wanting to know more. The upside is that there was a preface before each story pointing one to their web site or blog. From the bizarre like baked bat or searching for frogs to the urbane, such as the best restaurant in the world and several Michelin star food incidents to the downright fun searching for the best BBQ food or heading over the border for Mexican food in Tiujanna, plus several Himalya incidents, tthere seems to be something for everyone. The most notable was Simon Winchester's incident about eating dog in Korea and the King of the Fruits. One realizes that as one travels, one needs to try the local food to expand their horizons. required reading for travelers.

Not enjoying this. Boring stories but will finish as pre-sleep reading.
