The worst thing I ever eat was horse meat didn't know when I was eating it and still didn't like it the good thing though no one yelled Whoa! might have got stuck in my throat.
I understand what you're saying but did you know most likely what you are looking at in these books is nothing more than wax just to make the picture prettier they do the same thing with commercials you see on TV.
I found this forum actually by mistake but very happy I did after seeing people from all over the world here. I never eat the same recipe twice in a year another words cooked the same way.
Thanks Jinxy
