内容概要

ROBB WALSH has traveled the globe,immersing himself in some of the world s oddest culinary phenomena.And hes brought back some absorbing observations:Who knew that the ongo peppers of Trinidad looked like shrunken heads?That Buenos Aires had awesome pizzerias?Or that the best place to look for fading black Southern cooking tradi tions was on Texas prison farm?    In this collection of essays and recipes,Walsh takes us along on more than a decade s worth of his sometimes esoteric,sometimes peculiar culinary expeditions.Whether eating lunch on a fishing boat off the coast of Chile ,or searching for the soul of sauerkraut in Alsace,his greatest satisfaction comes not from the eating itself ,but from understand-ing what the food and the cooking have to say about the people and culture.    Onthe home front,Walsh ponders what happens when immigrants from Mexico,Pakistan when immigrants from Mexico,Pakistan,Vietnam and Manhattan bring their barbaco,brain masala,bong lau and bagels to Houston shopping centers,In these ethnic eateries,he discusses authentic Mexican food with Mexicans,halal organic ranching with Muslims ,the war in Vietnam with Vietnamese-American kids,and gets screamed at by a New Yorker.    Seasoned by Walshs open mind and slyhumor,Are You Really Going to Eat Tbat?is an ode to the aweszome power of food to enchant,to communicate,and above all,to bring us together.
