"Taste the World! It's truly a feast of wonder: Created by the ever-curious minds behind Atlas Obscura, this breathtaking guide transforms our sense of what people around the world eat and drink. Covering all seven continents, Gastro Obscura serves up a loaded plate of incredible ingredients, food adventures, and edible wonders. Ready for a beer made from fog in Chile? Sardinia's "Threads of God" pasta? Egypt's 2000-year-old egg ovens? But far more than a menu of curious delicacies and unexpected dishes, this epic book reveals food's central place in our lives, touching on history -- trace the network of ancient Roman fish sauce factories. Culture -- picture four million women gathering to make rice pudding. Travel -- scale China's sacred Mount Hua to reach a teahouse. And so much more."-- Back cover
