Description
Part travelogue, part scientific investigation, Dr. Marcone describes his journeys into remote regions of the world, often risking life and limb at the hands of rebel warlords, corrupt police, international smugglers, and hungry crocodiles. He does this all in the search for the hidden secrets and science behind the world's most expensive and bizarre foods. The stories and information in this eclectic collection of food delicacies will certainly satisfy the curiosity of food aficionados and adventure travelers alike but is also sure to whet the appetites of the just curious.
