"Have you ever wondered what some of the world's most disgusting dishes are? Cow's intestines, jellied eels, gigantic tuna eyeballs, stinky herrings... These might sound like disgusting ingredients to make witches' potions with, but no, they are delicious and exclusive delicacies served in different parts of the world. The aim of this book is to question what we consider disgusting and to show the incredible diversity and creativity of the world's cuisine. Dish by dish, you'll also discover surprising stories and historical facts."--Back cover
