London, England (AHN) - Rock band Franz Ferdinand's lead singer, Alex Kapranos has released an offbeat restaurant guide called "Sound Bites" adapted from his Guardian newspaper columns detailing the band's life on the road.
Chomping on fishbrain bread from Finland or tasting bull's testicles in Buenos Aires are just some of the offbeat culinary adventures related by Kapranos.
Kapranos gently mocks the band's rock 'n' roll lifestyle of supposedly overblown excess with narratives of eating in dishevelled dumps one day and five-star elegance the next.
"Sometimes I eat appallingly. Sometimes I eat phenomenally," he writes of the surreal meals.
Nothing seems to faze Kapranos, who used to work as a chef, wine-waiter, kitchen porter and delivery driver before finding fame as a rock singer.
"I never eat predictably," he proudly boasts.
"I've chipped my molars on tiny pearls from mussels in Brussels," he writes. "Yes, food is still an adventure.
