Everything but the Squeal

Everything but the Squeal: Eating the Whole Hog in Northern Spain Everything but the Squeal: Eating the Whole Hog in Northern Spain by John Barlow


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed John Barlow's stories of eating his way around Galicia, his adopted home in northern Spain. Great local color and description of the people and area, and he doesn't get bogged down in the food too much. He does cover the whole gamut of pig-based preparations, from festival food to high-end restaurants to his own cooking. Made me want to visit, which is what a travel/food book should do...
