The Land That Thyme Forgot by William Black

Not as good as Al Dente but a readable tour around the UK looking for quirky regional delicacies.

Al Dente: The Adventures of a Gastronome in Italy by William Black

"William Black travels the length and breadth of Italy to get to the roots of Italian food. His dedication to his task knows alarmingly few bounds and he eats whatever gets in his way: cheese infested with maggots; pasta with donkey sauce; risotto made with seagull broth."
