...hills of ancient towns to the kitchen table of Fidel Castro’s favorite cousin. Along the way he’s stuffed with roasted pig hearts, drenched in molten pig fat, and transported to heaven by porcine pancreas at a Michelin-rated restaurant. Barlow spares no juicy detail recounting his porco-graphical journey. His adventure through Galicia is full of stomach-churning chunks—for example, the intestinal sac of bony leftovers that he devours, twice.
