Ran across this book about odd food and odd food customs at the
library. It looks promising. The full title is..

Gastronaut : Adventures in Food for the Romantic, the Foolhardy, and
the Brave

It seems that Gates is a BBC food presenter with a show called COOKING
IN THE DANGER ZONE. see http://www.thegastronaut.com/

He may be more entertaining than Bourdain and hopefully better than the
obnoxious young dweebs they have on GLOBETREKKER.
