Anything That Moves
Anything That Moves: Renegade Chefs, Fearless Eaters, and the Making of a New American Food Culture | Dana Goodyear
4 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
Simultaneously a humorous adventure, a behind-the-scenes look at, and an attempt to understand the implications of the way we eat. This is a universe populated by insect-eaters and blood drinkers, avant-garde chefs who make food out of roadside leaves and wood and others who serve endangered species and illegal drugs. A cast of characters, in other words, who flirt with danger, taboo and disgust in pursuit of the sublime. Behind them is an intricate network of scavengers and dealers responsible for introducing the rare and exotic into the marketplace.

As a vegetarian I know parts of this will disturb me but as a "pretentious food jerk" I'm going to love it!

Just got this from the library. Love her columns in The New Yorker. Plus she uses the word 'empurple ' in the first chapter. 👍🏼

The author describes food smells, flavor a, and textures so you can almost experience them for yourself - for good & bad. The chapter on offal & extreme foods was the hardest. My favorite part had to do with changing American tastes and food importation. If you like to read about food and/or adventures you only want to experience vicariously, give this book a try. #foodmemoir
