"Taste the World! It's truly a feast of wonder: Created by the ever-curious minds behind Atlas Obscura, this breathtaking guide transforms our sense of what people around the world eat and drink. Covering all seven continents, Gastro Obscura serves up a loaded plate of incredible ingredients, food adventures, and edible wonders. Ready for a beer made from fog in Chile? Sardinia's "Threads of God" pasta? Egypt's 2000-year-old egg ovens? But far more than a menu of curious minds delicacies and unexpected dishes, Gastro Obscura reveals food's central place in our lives as well as our bellies, touching on history-trace the network of ancient Roman fish sauce factories. Culture-picture four million women gathering to make rice pudding. Travel-scale China's sacred Mount Hua to reach a tea house. Festivals-feed wild macaques pyramid of fruit at Thailand's Monkey Buffet Festival. And hidden gems that might be right around the corner, like the vending machine in Texas dispensing full sized pecan pies. Dig in and feed your sense of wonder. "Like a great tapas meal, Gastro Obscura is deep yet snackable, and full of surprises. This is the book for anyone interested in eating, adventure and the human condition." -Tom Colicchio, chef and activist "This exquisite guide kept me at the breakfast table until dinner time." -Kyle Maclachlan, actor and vintner"--… (meer)

Another internet: the book! Food-related Atlas Obscura entries spun off into Gastro Obscura, blending actual food information, historical factoids, and historical oddities into one coffee table book. A nice browse. North America was definitely disproportionately represented (with regions of the US on a similar standing with whole countries), but AO is a United States based site so that's unsurprising. ( )

This was an extremely interesting and informative book! I enjoyed reading it. I just wish that it had more recipes. ( )

I have followed Atlas Obscura for a while. As a lover of travel and food, the gastronomic aspect of Gastro Obscura: A Food Adventurer’s Guide by Cecily Wong and Dylan Thuras. immediately appeals to me. Food is a universal language and a part of every life occasion happy and sad. Food brings people together. In a world so divided, it is wonderful to see every effort to identify that which unites us.

This is a report of all sorts of strange foods, most of which you would have to go far away to experience, some food history and quirky sellers of foods ordinary or unusual. It makes a good filler read - a few or many small bits snacked on as other reading permits or requires. ( )

This is probably one of the best travel books I have ever encountered. Local restaurants or authentic cuisine are some of the most treasured experiences I have had in the places I have traveled, and this book is a bountiful resource for one-of-a-kind gastronomic experiences. As its companion, Atlas Obscura, it points travelers to gems which might be missed otherwise had they not been covered in this book. Gastro Obscura will improve the culinary experiences of every traveler, and it will point readers into less obvious treasures. ( )
