Everything But the Squeal: Eating the Whole Hog in Northern Spain

by John Barlow

Book Overview

John Barlow, self-confessed glutton, found himself in a tricky situation: living in one of the most meat-loving places on earth, married to a vegetarian. The Barlows live in Galicia, the misty-green northwest corner of Spain, and home to a population that reveres and consumes every part of the pig.
