Jae Cobb: I am LOVING this book!! I've always enjoyed learning about history, how things work, different cultures, etc, and this book just satisfies all those things and more!! There are so many countries that I've accepted I'll never visit, and even among those that I've been to (and will go to some day), what I saw and experienced is a drop in the bucket compared to what all they offer. This book has photos, funny historical tidbits, advice about restaurants, quirky facts, and is just so much better than I'd hoped it would be. Worth every penny!!

Dwayne H.: As a self-proclaimed foodie, I'm always on the lookout for unique and off-the-beaten-path culinary experiences. That's why I was thrilled to come across Gastro Obscura, a food adventurer's guide that takes you on a journey around the world to discover the most bizarre, fascinating, and delicious foods you've never heard of.
This book is an absolute treasure trove of gastronomic wonders, from the fermented shark of Iceland to the chocolate-coated ants of Colombia. Each entry is filled with captivating anecdotes, historical context, and mouthwatering descriptions that will leave your taste buds begging for more.
But what truly sets Gastro Obscura apart is its sense of adventure. The authors are not content to simply list strange foods; they want you to experience them for yourself. They provide detailed instructions for preparing each dish, as well as recommendations for where to find them around the world. Reading this book is like embarking on a culinary odyssey, and I can't wait to try out some of the recipes for myself.
