...throwing bacchanals” and from the 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. But it isn’t just the food that’s disturbing...

Trivia collectors will be delighted to know that L'Ile Barbe is one of those wacky microstates, where eccentric residents - fired-up by some long-simmering grievance with the central government - declare independence and start printing their own stamps and passports. In the case of L'Ile Barbe, the "break" from France happened in 1977, 14 years after the islet was declared, in a move hugely unpopular with locals...
...other French arrival to have really piqued the curiosity of London's gourmands is former Alain Ducasse protégé Hélène Darroze, whose two-Michelin-star restaurant on Paris' Left Bank has a formidable following. Darroze has taken up the pivotal role of executive chef of the reborn Connaught, www.the-connaught.co.uk, coming up with a menu that offers elegant reworkings of rustic dishes from the Landes region of her upbringing.
