Well, the title is rather apropos. I found this book to be kind of rude and unpleasant, for the most part. I was looking for a book on food writing a la Ruth Reichl, and this book is nothing like that. I enjoyed 3 or 4 of the essays but the rest were so-so. The second essay in particular is so hateful that I almost put the book down without finishing it.
