Everything but the Squeal: Eating the Whole Hog in Northern Spain
Everything but the Squeal: Eating the Whole Hog in Northern Spain - John Barlow I struggled with this one. The authorial voice is a bit too arch, the tone too memoir-like for what is ostensibly a book about eating pigs. He almost lost me when he mentioned the brand of his notebook, and there were several other digressions that had nothing at all to do with pork. It wasn't at all what I was expecting, the quality of the writing didn't knock me out, and I was not engaged by any of it.
