Buy Weird But True Food by National Geographic Kids (Paperback)  | Released: 10 Mar 2015

Food can get pretty weird. Some things we eat have shocking backstories, while others are just straight-up bizarre. Weird But True Food dives into the strangest, funniest, and most unexpected facts about what’s on our plates.

Ever heard of a sandwich that was sent to space? Or a dessert made with real gold? Some foods glow in the dark, some have been eaten for thousands of years, and some are just… questionable. This book is full of the kind of stuff that makes you stop and say, “No way, that can’t be real!” (But it totally is.)

You don’t have to be a food expert to enjoy this—just someone who loves weird, fun facts. Flip through it, pick a random page, and get ready to be surprised. Some facts might make you laugh, others might make you rethink what’s on your plate. Either way, you’ll never see food the same way again!
