38. Yuck! The Things People Eat by Neil Setchfield


BOOK REVIEW: Yuck! The Things People Eat by Neil Setchfield

Following my book Fierce Food, I still had a niggling curiosity on all things weird that landed on the dinner table. Questions started flitting around in my mind: How do some of these atrocious food items look like?, What do people in these countries describe the tastes like? and even What paired well with these foods? By now, all of you may have eyes popping out of your head at my somewhat appalling attraction but dive into this book and you will feel the same way as me.

From stir-fried tarantula to goat’s testicles, Yuck! presents more than 100 of the world’s most bizarre dishes, as captured by renowned photographer Neil Setchfield.

Full of culinary wonders, this remarkable book is guaranteed to provoke a reaction – whether that be ‘Yuck!’ or, indeed, ‘Yum!’.


The graphics in this book are bound to catch your eye with balut (duck embryo famous in the Philippines) glistening on the page, or perhaps the skewered grilled snake might just tickle your fancy. Bon appétit folks!
