Book Preview:

#1 I informed my boss of my plans to eat my way around the world, and he called his mother in Portugal and told her to start fattening a pig. I was going to eat everything, blood, guts, and all, during my trip to Portugal.

#2 I had never been to a farm and watched as the animals were slaughtered, disemboweled, and broken down into constituent parts. It was only fair that I should have to watch as the blade went in.

#3 José was a native of Portugal who had gone to New York and become a chef. He was very comfortable and engaged with food, and he loved to eat at restaurants. But he was always excited and engaged when he was at home eating with his family.

#4 I was excited to eat the food that José was so passionate about, and I was dreading the pig slaughter. I had arrived in Portugal, and I had already gotten the picture that the country had plenty of good food.
