“Vivid and entertaining.”-New York Times
“[Grescoe] spends a year in seven countries, seeking out such delicacies as Epoisses cheese, which smells so bad it’s said to have been banned from the Paris Metro; the author writes fondly that it makes ‘Gorgonzola smell like Velveeta.’…He eats bulls’ testicles in Madrid and visits an absinthe distillery in Switzerland. You feel hung over just reading the thing-guilty, implicated and strangely hungry.”-Los Angeles Times
