...hale and hearty, there will be pushbutton meals. How about chicken liver pâté, followed by salmon mousse, whipped potatoes and a vegetable purée with hollandaise sauce? For dessert: a zabaglione worthy of the finest chef. Seconds, anyone? sssss...
...narrator in this picaresque novel of present-day Cape Cod is an itinerant chef named J. I. (for Judas Iscariot) LeBlanche.

You can eat walleyed pike from Minnesota and see a chef from India baking bread in mud pots. In the calm oasis of the Irish pavilion, you can drink coffee primed with Irish whisky and listen on earphones to actors like Micheal MacLiammoir and Siobhan McKenna reading Yeats, Swift or Synge. In the Indonesian pavilion, you can look over the Indonesian girls that were personally selected by President Sukarno...
