Warning: This book has a high “eeuuuuwwww” quotient.
It doesn’t pass my breakfast-table test, which means I don’t think you’ll want to read about it in your morning newspaper while you’re eating your bowl of Cheerios.
But, still, Christa Weil’s “Fierce Food: The Intrepid Diner’s Guide to the Unusual, Exotic and Downright Bizarre,” (218 pages, Plume, $14) may appeal to you at other times of the day.
If you’re an adventurous eater who believes she’s eaten everything, this is the book for you.
Weil’s tried about 50 of the 75 “foods” she writes about in short essays that run alphabetically from armadillo to yuba, the skin formed on a just-set block of bean curd.
Dung beetle larvae, anyone?
