Sixty dishes - double the usual count for this series - because no smaller number could do this hemisphere justice. One of them is now fully illegal, and this book tells you exactly why. This isn't a shock-value list. It's a curious, respectful journey through the foods that make outsiders stop, stare, ask questions, and sometimes take a bite. Every entry covers the dish's real origin, who eats it and why, how it's sourced and prepared, whether it's still popular today, and where to find it while traveling - plus a Strangeness Score, an Adventure Level, and a Legal & Ethical Status tag for every single dish, checked against real, current law and conservation status before being included.
