Hungry Planet: What the World Eats
by Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio
287 pages (hardcover)
Genre: Nonfiction/Photojournalism

Not really much to review about this; it's a wonderful, insightful work of photojournalism and collaboration by a husband/wife team (I think). I liked it enough to read it during breakfast and lunch, which is usually reserved for can't-put-down novels. The Greenland and Mali portraits should be universally interesting, plus the two China and three USA portraits for me. Comments: p.12) raw ramen doesn't taste that bad, actually, and p. 77) eww, I never saw any skewered scorpions in the food stalls when I visited China. Or deep-fried starfish, for that matter.

Oh! I'm reading this (very slowly) now.
