Endpaper front: The preparation of cassava bread from poisonous manioc in a Wapisana village in the interior of today’s Guyana is shown in this 1840 print. Two women grate the tubers to a pulp, which will then be squeezed in the long woven tube hanging behind them. The resulting paste, in the tray in the foreground, is then formed into flat, thin cakes, which another woman cooks on a large hotplate. The finished bread is stored on the roof thatch.

Endpaper back: Cricket Lick—it lollipops: candy with a crunchy center.

Endpaper verso: The agave “worm” at the end of a bottle of Mexican mezcal is in fact a moth pupa.

Title page: Tibetan pilgrims halt on the arduous circuit around Mount Kailash -Asia’s most sacred mountain - to eat yak meat and brew yak butter tea.
