In his 1979 book,
Unmentionable Cuisine, Calvin W. Schwabe introduced readers to bizarre foods he’d encountered in his extensive travels. This collection of recipes (some of which now seem quite tame) helped pave the way for the extreme-eating feats of
Anthony Bourdain and
Andrew Zimmern. The Web is full of other descendents of Schwabe’s legacy, including blogs about
insect eating,
weird meat, and much more.
