From the Publisher
Gastro Obscura: A Food Adventurer's Guide features food to try...
Spaghetti Ice-Cream Sundae (Germany)
Ubiquitous in Germany, this ice cream sundae masquerading as a plate of spaghetti is made by feeding vanilla gelato through a chilled spaetzle press and topping the “noodles” with strawberry sauce and chocolate-shaving “cheese”.
Mended Teapot Soup (Afghanistan)
Broken teapots are given new life at Afghan teashops, where chainaki is a lamb or goat soup, cooked – and served! – in the pot.
Salteñas (Bolivia)
A cross between an empanada and a soup dumpling is a traditional midmorning snack in La Paz, Bolivia. For clean handling, take a bite out of the top and sip out the sauce first.
Giant Pine Cone Nut (Australia)
Every few years, Australia’s bunya pines produce pinecones the size of a football, weighing as much as 22 pounds each, and filled with anywhere from 30 to 100 husk-covered edible nuts.
A nature book like no other---a dazzling, over-the-top collection of the world's most extraordinary wild species that takes you to all seven continents and beyond. It's more than a field guide–it's an adventure.
