It's Disgusting And We Ate It!

True Food Facts from Around the World and Throughout History.
Illustrated by Eric Brace.

Hungry for something a little different? How about a nice dish of Colonial Squirrel Pie with a side of milkweed shoots? If that doesn't grab you, you might think about trying some Garbage Stew, just like they made in medieval England. But if you're feeling a little tired and need a boost, your best bet is roasted spiders. They've got three times the protein of cooked beef. (Is your mouth watering yet?)

Here is a full-colour feast of information about wild and wacky food from ancient history to the present day, from the far reaches of the globe to your own fridge. Riddles, poems, maps, recipes, graphs and lists make this innovative title an engrossing and entertaining exploration of food.
