Unmentionable Cuisine by Calvin W Schwabe

An engaging look at food prejudices, or why we eat what we eat and why we reject other food sources as unpalatable--with recipes This is a unique and engrossing work and, to my mind, an important contribution to the annals of gastronomy. It will not, of course, appeal to all palates . . . but neither do snails and sweetbreads, brains and other oddments of animals. --Craig Claiborne I read from cover to cover with huge enjoyment. . . I can recall no other book that has covered the subject of strange foods with quite his flair and authority, and I consider the book required reading for anyone interested in the lore of food. --James Beard
