Around the World in Eighty Meals

Phileas Fogg, the gentleman adventurer of Jules Verne's famous book, rushed around the world in 80 days . . . with intrepid Nan Lyons following him—-at a distance of only 138 years. She dines, nibbles and noshes her way from Great Britain through France, Italy, India, China, America and back again to the Reform Club just as Fogg did. He won his wager with club members; our bet is today's readers will savor her notable food trip. Armed with a map, a fork and a pair of chopsticks, she guides us through some of the world's most bizarre bazaars, reveals secret snacks of Asia, exposes several of the Old and New World's best kept treats and much more.
