i couldn't really get going on this book due to the heavy emphasis on eating animalia, on 'high food' (even as recognized or vindicated by peasants), and on the very particular (highly prejudiced, obviously) taste of the author. since i pretty much disagree with the underlying aesthetic framework here, uh, it was slow going and, ultimately, no going.
but ! if you want to read why tongue is just as delicious as any 'fryer' or why, properly prepared, anything that moves could be moving deliciously into your gullet . .. go for it.
