ReplyDeleteThanks everyone - I really enjoyed this book and to be fair to Polly the noodle comment comes at the end of a long and eventful (bad eventful) part of her journey. I will say no more.I have finished it and will post my review eventually. Slack be my name at the moment :)
ReplyDeleteIrish - Imagine how I felt I was eating spaghetti on toast when I read that comment. After I finished chocking on my lunch from laughter and assuring my work colleges I was not dying, I realised lunch suddenly was not looking so good. I did not need the mental image while only half way through lunch.
Well it's certainly descriptive!
ReplyDeleteYour teaser got my stomach's attention. I look forward to your review.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't sound tasty!
ReplyDeleteMy teaser is here.
Ewww..I just ate.
ReplyDeleteEwww...
ReplyDeleteI have a picture in my mind that I'd like to get rid of. On to the next teaser :)
ReplyDeleteOh yummm!!!! I like food books, but ugh!!!
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading this. I really enjoyed it - it was very witty. I loved the scene where she ran into Simon Winchester, the master of all journalistic travel writing and her personal hero.
ReplyDeleteReally great teaser.
ReplyDeleteMaggots and anything similar-shaped makes me shudder! My cousin Thai had a deep fear of rice because he thought they looked like maggots, but thankfully I never had that issue.
ReplyDeleteInteresting title! As my uncle always says, you can eat anything with chopsticks...even jello.
Eeeeew - kind of left a horrible mental image! Wonder if I'll ever be able to look at those noodles the same again - I use them in some dishes. . .
ReplyDeleteHere's my Teaser from The Ten Year Nap! ~ Wendi
Gross! I am so creeped out by worms!
ReplyDeleteEwwwww. But is the book good?
ReplyDeleteNow there's a sure appetizer depressant. LOL Great teaser, Caspette!
ReplyDeleteHmm not sure if I would want to eat after that. Spaghetti was on my menu this week but not sure with that noodle comment. LOL
