To businessman and travel writer Peter Biddlecombe, the USA is about food. Huge, enormous, vitamin-fortified, artery-clogging, fat-laden, calorie-packed, colon-blocking, microwaveable mountains of the stuff. In his ninth irreverent travel book, Biddlecombe chews over the whole of the USA, from the chicken states of Kentucky and Rhode Island to the ice state, Alaska, describing an entire continent with wit and precision, while imparting a greal deal of practical information.
