In this hugely enjoyable collection, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall - the man who brought you placenta canapés and brains on toast - chomps his way through the edible, the delectable, and the plain indigestible

For almost two decades, 'Hugh Fearlessly-Eatsitall' has been writing about food in all its guises.  To some, his concept of 'good eating' might seem a bit skewed - he'd always bypass a McBurger in favour of a squirrel sandwich, and make a detour for fresh road kill - but to others he is a shining and shaggy beacon of good sense in a food world gone mad.

Armed with a broad mind, a quick wit and a ready appetite, Hugh covers almost every area of global food culture.  Whether singing the praises of offal; debunking Colonel Sanders and Dr Atkins; playing 'poisson roulette' with the deadly fugu fish in Tokyo; pondering the moral inconsistency of those who condemn fox hunting for its cruelty while happily tucking into factory-farmed chicken; fishing for marlin in Kenya, trout in Chile and barracuda in the Bahamas; analysing the tea-dunking qualities of some classic British biscuits; contemplating why if piglets are destined for the pot, why aren't puppies; or reminding us that a reindeer isn't just for Christmas, but tasty all year round, Hugh has an unerring ability to entertain and provoke.
