Publisher's blurb:

Snake Fang Salad is China sour and sweet, pungent and sublime - through the grass-roots gaze of travel photographer Greg Elms. This book is a food-fuelled tale of culinary question marks, a story as bizarre as it is real, and a personal portrait of a nation increasingly intrinsic to Western life.

Snake Fang Salad is China sour and sweet, pungent and sublime through the grass-roots gaze of travel photographer Greg Elms. Illustrated with 32 pages of full-colour photographs this 240 page paperback isa food-fuelled tale of culinary question marks, a story as bizarre as it is real, and a personal portrait of a nation increasingly intrinsic to Western life. On assignment to capture one of the world's oldest culinary traditions in a bunch of images, Greg chases down a feast of offerings. From scorpion tails in Beijing to snake restaurants in Guangzhou, from the chilli-laden blowtorch heat of a Chonqing hot pot to a search for the elusive purple carrot in Xi'an. It might sound like a dream job, but Greg soon discovers oriental cuisine is not as easily framed as he'd like, and conundrums are served with every meal.
