Dung for dinner : a stomach-churning look at the animal poop, pee, vomit, and secretions that people have eaten (and often still do!) / Christine Virnig ; illustrated by Korwin Briggs.

Virnig, Christine, (author.). Briggs, Korwin, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"From Roman charioteers scarfing wild boar dung . . . to today's kids spreading insect vomit on their toast, this humorous compendium is chock full of history, science, and fascinatingly gross facts. Bug secretions coating your candy corn? Rodent poop in your popcorn? . . . It's irresistibly disgusting!" -- adapted from jacket.
