Who would have thought that Mussolini devoured bowls of raw garlic? Or that Idi Amin consumed up to forty oranges a day? This book examines the worst dictators of the 20th century from a completely new perspective, focusing on their culinary obsessions. It not only highlights their eating habits but also everything else related to food: table conversations, manners, and nutritional policies. Each dish comes with recipes to recreate them, including European alternatives in case the original ingredients are too exotic – enjoy your meal!.
