Abstract

The popular 3rd installment! A delicious and hilarious comic-and-essay book about backpacking solo while eating your way through local foods around the world. Learn to cook the home-style dish "Bantan" from a local guide in Mongolia, and savor "Khao Jee"—a baguette sandwich made by an old lady—in Laos. In Malaysia, be astonished by the surprisingly unexpected flavor of "Nasi Lemak" bought from a street vendor! In Brazil, fuel up on the national dish "Feijoada" and fresh caught fish while doing farm work.

Visiting over 30 countries and regions worldwide—including Andorra, Gibraltar (UK), Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan—this book captures street food, diner meals, home cooking, traditional dishes, sweets, and heart-warming interactions with locals through manga, illustrations, photos, and essays. It also features unique food culture comparisons based on expert travel experience, analyzing local variations of "Fried Chicken," "Fried Seafood," "Ice Cream," and more encountered across the globe! Containing selections from popular web serializations alongside a generous amount of newly drawn content, this volume is packed with satisfying reads.
