A Global Exploration of the World’s Most Extreme Foods—and What They Reveal About Us

For over two billion people, eating insects is an everyday practice. For millions more, bushmeat is a necessity, not a choice. And for a wealthy few, consuming endangered species is the ultimate status symbol. What drives these practices—and what are their consequences?

The Forbidden Feast is a comprehensive anthropological journey into the world’s most controversial foods. Award-winning cultural anthropologist Dr. Roy Shiba takes you across six continents, exploring the culinary traditions that challenge our assumptions about food, culture, and morality.

Inside this book, you’ll discover:

  • The psychological roots of food taboos and why they vary across cultures

  • The nutritional and environmental case for eating insects

  • The devastating impact of the bushmeat trade on endangered species

  • The role of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the illegal wildlife trade

  • The cultural significance of dog meat, snake, crocodile, and other controversial meats

  • The future of food: how sustainable alternatives can replace forbidden delicacies

Whether you’re a food lover, an anthropology enthusiast, or someone concerned about conservation and sustainability, The Forbidden Feast offers a compelling, eye-opening look at the hidden corners of global cuisine. It’s a book that informs, challenges, and ultimately asks: What will we eat tomorrow?
