Despatches from the Gastronomic Front Line 1986-2006.
In this hugely enjoyable collection, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall - the man who brought you placenta canapes and brains on toast - chomps his way through the edible, the delectable, and the plain indigestible
For almost two decades, 'Hugh Fearlessly Eats It All' has been writing about food in all its guises. To some, his concept of 'good eating' might seem a bit skewed - he'd always bypass a McBurger in favour of a squirrel sandwich, and make a detour for fresh road kill - but to others he is a shining and shaggy beacon of good sense in a food world gone mad.
Armed with a broad mind, a quick wit and a ready appetite, Hugh covers almost every area of global food culture. Whether singing the praises of offal; debunking Colonel Sanders and Dr Atkins; playing 'poisson roulette' with the deadly fugu fish in Tokyo; pondering the moral inconsistency of those who condemn fox hunting for its cruelty while happily tucking into factory-farmed chicken; fishing for marlin in Kenya, Hugh has an unerring ability to entertain and provoke.
