Food writer Stefan Gates investigates the appetite for bushmeat that's wiping out endangered species in Cameroon, and the shocking aid crisis in Ethiopia, where nearly twice as many people are now hungry as during the famines of the 80s. He eats civet cat, porcupine, cane rat, palm weevils, fresh goat's blood and WFP aid rations as he meets ordinary people leading extraordinary lives, and he nearly causes riots in both countries along the way.
