In Pass the Butterworms, Cahill takes us on journeys to areas as remote as the rivers of Honduras and the immense grassland of Mongolia, to the stunning geysers of Yellowstone and the deepest jungles of Peru. Always provocative and undeniably outrageous, Tim Cahill again hits the trail with the same verve and gonzo-esque sensibility for which he's internationally known. Whether it's swimming at the North Pole while polar bears graze; horseback riding with the descendants of Genghis Khan; pushing the limits of sea-kayaking while circumnavigating falling glaciers; or sitting around the campfire with the near-Stone Age citizens of Iranian Jaya, learning the protocol of eating delicacies such as sauteed sago beetle, remnants of piglet, premasticated manioc beer, or the components of the "Malaria Diet," Cahill always lives life to its fullest - and lives to tell about it with style and panache.
