U IS FOR UNMENTIONABLE CUISINE

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.
