Robert Eggle finds himself standing one day in a hole in the sidewalk, rain plastering his clothes to his body, with no memory of who he is, his former life as a food critic, how he got there, or where he should go next. He finds his preoccupations narrowed down to his loss of taste, and the puzzling gastronomic tales people regale him with.
Why is it important not to be too gourmet? And what is the real purpose behind red sea salt? There is his ex-wife Margaret, who becomes the unwilling obsession of a man from Papua New Guinea with an unusual appetite, and Emma, his neurotic fan who sees a conspiracy in crme brulees. In this world where love is celebrated with peppered, slow-cooked menudo, and where friendships are forged over fat-free muffins, Edible Stories serves up a delectable tale of quirky individuals whose lives intersect in amusing, poignant and surprising ways with a man who remembers nothing but the texture of the food he has eaten.
