4-6Extreme Cuisine series.
The gross factor may keep strong-stomached readers paging through descriptions of Thai fried bats, Mexican mealworm pasta, and other culinary "delights." Close-up photos of live ingredients and completed dishes add an extra ick factor. Readers beware: there are real dangers to consuming some of these things if prepared incorrectly. The host of TV's Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern is series consultant. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Extreme Cuisine titles: Baby Bug Dishes, Bug-a-licious, Mammal Menu, Spider-tizers and Other Creepy Treats, Shocking Seafood, and Slithery, Slimy, Scaly Treats.
