An irreverent journey through the culinary world of the exotic, the bizarre, and the truly extraordinary, Gastronaut is equal parts cookbook and quest book. For your bedside or your stoveside, this hilarious and captivating journey through some of the strangest food experiences, past and present, is divided into three levels of escalating difficulty. Whether you're ready to gild your breakfast sausages with gold, re-create the Last Supper, or cook a whole pig in an underground fire pit, this book takes it all on with gusto and little regard for what one might call decency.

Gastronaut answers questions like:
- what foods make us fart?
- how do you make your own moonshine?
- is it possible to teach grandmas to suck eggs?
- how would you stage a bacchanalian orgy in the comfort of your own home?
Here is the perfect book for people who are fascinated by the wilder side of food and who, every now and then, want to show off their penchant for the extreme.


THE GASTRONAUT'S CREED
Food will consume 16 percent of my life. That life is too precious to waste; therefore:
- I resolve, whenever possible, to transform food from fuel into love, power, adventure, poetry, sex, or drama.
- I will never turn down the opportunity to taste or cook something new.
- I will never forget: canap s are evil.
- I will remember that culinary disaster does not necessarily equal failure.
- I will always keep a jar of pesto to hand in case of the latter.

Great socks, watch out for bad seller
Number of Items: 6, Color: Black (6-pairs), Size: Medium
The socks are great, comfy, padded where you want it. I used these for work socks; I have a blend of corporate desk life and maintenance work. I like the low cut so my shoes don't rub the back of my ankle but not so high that socks always fall down. Great for running and sports as well. Been using these for years. Buyer beware though of the particular seller Liegnitz Group: They were late shipping, sent me the wrong socks so I sent for a return and they send me the right ones. My return got delivered back to them but they did not process it and did not send out any new ones. They cancelled my order and acted like I got the right ones all along. Buy from a different retailer.
