From early childhood, I spent in an akademgorodok (purpose-built academic community) in the USSR, Kaminski has been obsessed with food. Fueled by ancestral wanderlust, as an adult, she put her obsession to good use, contributing to several dozen Lonely Planet and Rough Guides guidebooks and traversing six continents in search of sustenance and something even less tangible. Part memoir, part travelogue, Eyeball Tacos \u0026amp; Kangeroo Stew explores a life less ordinary through the prism of memorable meals, from sharing burgers with death row inmates in San Quentin Prison to feasting on spam and cassava with the crocodile-skinned men of Papua New Guinea's Middle Sepik, and being adopted by an Aboriginal family in the Outback over a pot of kangaroo stew. Through breaking bread with strangers and travel to the further corners of the former Soviet Union and beyond, the author discovers that her roots stretch further than she'd ever imagined, and that kinship can be found in the strangest of places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 460g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 198 x 129 x 22 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781784779900                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anna Kaminski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094621581562,"sku":"9781784779900","price":7.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/eyeball-tacos-and-kangaroo-stew-life-changing-meals-in-far-flung-places","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
