À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The worst cookbook ever - stuffed with truly bizarre and utterly disgusting recipes from all over the world

Ever since humankind produced its first foodie, the culinary world has dished up some staggering confections which could best be described as 'acquired tastes': Virgin Boy Eggs (eggs soaked in the urine of prepubescent boys), for example, and - yes, hipsters! - Beard Beer, made from the yeast found in facial hair.

The Inuit are fond of cramming as many as 500 dead auks (small sea birds) into an old seal skin which they place under a large rock until the birds have fermented into what has rightly been described as a 'sticky, pungent, toxic, cheesy gloop'. Kiviak, as it is called, is eaten by biting off the birds' heads and sucking out the juices.

And there is no shortage of other nauseating local delicacies for those with an adventurous mindset and a robust life insurance policy. In China, not only is tuna eyeball on the menu, but also yak penis (served whole). In Iceland, one can enjoy raw puffin heart, while in the Philippines, there is duck embryo to be had - like a Kinder Surprise . . . only containing a dead foetus. In Sardinia, they like nothing more than a nice bit of maggot-infested cheese; and the favourite tipple of Korean foodies is Ttongsul, a wine made from the fermented faeces of a child.

Bon appetit!
