I wasn't expecting 'scary food stories' when I purchased Booth's book recounting his sampling of traditional delicacies as he travelled through Japan. I found myself genuinely caught off guard when he led me through his food adventures of eating rotten fish; chopped seafood still twitching on the plate; and all foods slimy and fermented. I read the entire book with fascination, chuckles, and a few shudders.
