Here, lead singer Alex Kapranos collects his humorous and insightful reflections—compiled partly from his column in the \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e (London)—on his many international gastronomic encounters, both savory and not so savory. From the charms of a donut shop in a Polish-speaking part of Brooklyn to a decidedly less charming pair of bull’s testicles in Buenos Aires to the seductive, almost-vegetarian allure of a heavenly Singaporean buffet, Kapranos always gets the mouthwatering details just right while delivering an entertaining look at rock-and-roll life on the road.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlex Kapranos \u003c\/b\u003eis the singer and guitarist of Franz Ferdinand.
