The Wurst of Lucky PeachA Treasury of Encased Meat
and the editors of Lucky Peach
The best in wurst from around the world, with enough sausage-themed stories and pictures stuffed between these two covers to turn anyone into a forcemeat aficionado.
Lucky Peach presents a cookbook as a scrapbook, stuffed with curious local specialties, like cevapi, a caseless sausage that’s traveled all the way from the Balkans to underneath the M tracks in Ridgewood, Queens; a look into the great sausage trails of the world, from Bavaria to Texas Hill Country and beyond; and the ins and outs of making your own sausages, including fresh chorizo.
“[A] smart and righteously pun-heavy tubesteak travelogue and taxonomy” —The Wall Street Journal
“The follow-up to last year’s terrific Lucky Peach Presents 101 Easy Asian Recipes is just as satisfying, entertaining, and focused. This time, the editors of the quirky and brilliant food journal focus on sausage in all its incarnations… [T]he team has done a great favor for the world’s carnivores.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“[I]t’s the quality of the writing that hooks you, and is the book’s real attraction. These writers know their stuff and know to wear their knowledge lightly and elegantly.” —Los Angeles Review of Books
