This is a funny book, although sometimes the humor is just a bit too vulgar for me. I love Lilek's website - The Gallery of Regrettable Food. There's been times I've gotten on that website late at night and literally cried, I was laughing so hard. It's been a sure fire cheer-me-up. This is, so far, the only Lilek's book I've actually read. It's in the same vein as the website, but as I said before, sometimes the humor is just a little tasteless. Then again, I can definitely see his analogies looking at these 60 year old photographs of foodstuffs - if they actually are food. ( ) This was just as fun as his first food collection. There are always a few hysterical pages, and the rest range from meh to funny. I think he's definitely funnier when he's riffing on the people and/or the setting. The highest proportion of misses are when he's coming up with alternative ingredients. A sequel to Lilek's "Gallery of Regrettable Food", "Gastroanomalies" is a smorgasbord of awful culinary illustrations and horribly dated cultural references, wrapped up sarcasm, and lacerated with Lilek's sharp wit. The images in this book are alternately nauseating and hilarious, but without Lilek's off-the-wall humorous commentary they wouldn't be anywhere near as funny as they are. Honestly once you're finished with this book, you'll never look at your mother's cookbook collection the same way again! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
