World Foods with Strange Names (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781728374291)

If you have that travel bug thing in your system and that is combined with my being a compulsive foodie for most of my life then you have someone with an obsessive interest in International cuisines. I knew many of our dishes in these Islands have weird names but the more I travelled, each country I visited or neighbouring countries had a scattering of curiously or contradictory named dishes. It became almost a hobby of mine to hunt them out to study their recipes, their histories or at least explore how they got their strange names. We may have in England foods like "sweetbreads" but in Italy there is "Jump in the Mouth", Iran has its "Water Meat", China "Ants Climbing a Tree" or in the US you might enjoy "Poor Boy with Debris". I have made a number of them at home, eaten many more in restaurants or as street food but some I have never had only read about. There are no recipes as such in my book only some words about strangely named foods from around the Globe I hope you find interesting.
