John Barlow, a self-confessed glutton, finds himself in a meat-lover's dream in northern Spain. In Galicia, the misty-green north-west corner of Spain, the people revere and consume every part of the pig.

This starts him thinking about the nature of our relationship with food. Over the course of one glorious, bilious year, Barlow tries the patience of his vegetarian wife as he goes the whole hog and vows to eat everything but the squeal, from cocido in a cantina to a chorizo feast at Carnival, from ribs to roast ham, all washed down with local wine - delicious!

Stylish and funny, this adventure in extreme eating will appeal to all lovers of food and Spain.
