Sennott. 330 $aThese sometimes harrowing, frequently funny, and always riveting stories about food and eating under extreme conditions feature the diverse voices of journalists who have reported from dangerous conflict zones around the world during the past twenty years. A profile of the former chef to Kim Jong Il of North Korea describes Kim's exacting standards for gourmet fare, which he gorges himself on while his country starves. A journalist becomes part of the inner circle of an IRA cell thanks to his drinking buddies. And a young, inexperienced female journalist shares mud crab in a foxhole with an equally young Hamid Karzai. Along with tales of deprivation and repression are stories of generosity and pleasure, sometimes overlapping. This memorable collection, introduced and edited by Matt McAllester, is seasoned by tragedy and violence, spiced with humor and good will, and fortified, in McAllester's words, with "a little more humanity than we can usually slip into our newspapers and magazine stories." 410 0$aCalifornia studies in food and culture ;$v31. 606 $aSurvival and emergency rations$vAnecdotes 606 $aFood habits$vAnecdotes 606 $aWar correspondents$vAnecdotes 606 $aForeign journalists$vAnecdotes 606 $aWar and society$vAnecdotes 610 $aafghanistan war. 610 $acombat. 610 $afemale journalists. 610 $afighting. 610 $afood and culture. 610 $afood and north korea. 610 $afood and war. 610 $afood culture and history. 610 $afood during war. 610 $afood history. 610 $afood literature. 610 $afood lovers. 610 $afoodie lit. 610 $ainternational cuisine. 610 $ainternational journalism. 610 $ajournalism and war. 610 $ajournalism in conflict zones. 610 $ajournalism stories. 610 $akim jong ii. 610 $alife of a journalist. 610 $amiddle east journalism. 610 $amodern journalism. 610 $apalestinian militants. 610 $awar and hunger. 610 $awar in middle east. 610 $awar journalists. 610 $awar stories. 610 $awar zone reporters. 615 0$aSurvival and emergency rations 615 0$aFood habits 615 0$aWar correspondents 615 0$aForeign journalists 615 0$aWar and society 676 $a394.1/2 701 $aMcAllester$b Matthew$f1969-$01621848 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808329403321 996 $aEating mud crabs in Kandahar$94006036 997 $aUNINA
