From raw Ethiopian beef to fermented locust beans, a smiling sheep's head to caterpillars roasted over open fire, Odd Bites: Africa takes you deep into a continent of wildly different food traditions. Thirty dishes. Their real history. Who eats them, and why. Where to find them on your travels, and how to try them yourself, if you dare. Africa doesn't have one single strange food tradition, it has dozens, shaped by different regions, histories, and ways of life. This book treats every dish with the same curiosity and respect, explaining the real origin, who eats it and why, how it's sourced and prepared, whether it's still popular today, and where to find it while traveling, plus a Strangeness Score and Adventure Level so you know exactly what you're getting into. Inside:
  • 30 verified, well-documented dishes across North, West, East, Central, and Southern Africa
  • Real history and cultural context for every entry, not shock-value trivia
  • Strangeness Scores and Adventure Levels for every dish
  • Make It / Buy It / Try It There guidance so you know what's realistic to attempt
  • Six bonus entries preserving even more researched dishes
Whether you're planning a trip, already an adventurous eater, or just love a good food story, Odd Bites: Africa is your guide to the dishes that make outsiders stop, stare, and ask questions, never to laugh at the people who eat them.
