By James Solheim, Eric Brace (Illustrator)
Discover bizarre historical dishes that challenge your taste buds and imagination.
Dive into a world of peculiar culinary history with dishes like Colonial Squirrel Pie and medieval Garbage Stew. Explore the surprising nutritional benefits of roasted spiders and more. Are you ready to taste the past?
An interesting and nose-wrinkling collection of true food facts from around the world and throughout history. How about a nice dish of Colonial Squirrel Pie with a side of milkweed shoots? If that doesn’t grab you, you might think about trying some Garbage Stew, just like they made in medieval England. But if you’re feeling a little tired and need a boost, your best bet is roasted spiders. They’ve got three times the protein of cooked beef. (Is your mouth watering yet?) Illustrated by the wildly-creative Eric Brace, It’s Disgusting and We Ate It! is a fascinating look at culinary creations from all over the world!
