Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-30 00:00:00 Lance Sealey Very funny in parts, but a few chapters went beyond my comfort zone for grossness. Just so you know, I'm not squeamish about blood, surgery, or even death (I read "Stiff" with scarcely a qualm). However, certain other bodily secretions, excretions and functions make me queasy -- and I have a terrible insect phobia. (The fear part pertains mainly to moths, but I find all insects repulsive, and can't stand the thought of eating or cooking them.) There were a couple chapters I had to virtually skip. Some others were gross in other unique ways (I can well imagine how bad Issey Miyake Aftershave Ceviche would taste), but I was able to bear reading them. This is pretty funny stuff, if you can stomach it.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-04-19 00:00:00 Sylvain Hamilton All you want to know about strange and disgusting foods. Start with gilding a Cheeto with gold. Go on to extreme flatulence recipes, fish sperm on toast, stuffed fish heads, and more. He is British, lives in London, and has access to butchers that will saw a pig's head in half for you. Not that I want one.
