I recently purchased another similar book although it is a bit more far 
ranging.
Strange Foods: Bush Meat, Bats, and Butterflies: An Epicurean Adventure 
Around the World
Hopkins, Jerry
ISBN: 9625931546
Periplus Editions. Boston 1999
"Entertainment Weekly
 >>>>>>>>
A photo-filled guide to offbeat culinary offerings around the globe."

Explorer's Journal
"lively and entertaining...helpfully includes recipes, such as 
"earthworm patties," for many of the plants and animals he discusses."

Book Description
"Bats and beets, silk worms and stewed prunes, scorpions and scampi, 
flamingo and flan, ostrich and okra - what we eat and what we don't eat 
is largely a matter of habit, history and geographical circumstances," 
author Jerry Hopkins writes in the introduction to Strange Foods. 
Chock-full of bizarre gastronomic information from far-flung reaches, 
stirred up with bits of anthropological and autobiographical 
information, Jerry Hopkins has created a masterpiece about what we eat. 
The adventurous reader will find chapters on such delicacies as rat, 
dog, elephant, and buffalo. If reptiles are more to your liking, you'll 
find information on edible lizards, snakes, and toads. In the final 
section, entitled "Leftovers," Hopkins highlights such ersatz 
delicacies as fake food and gold and silver. With 250 full-color 
photographs by Michael Freeman, Strange Foods is sure to shock and 
delight.
