Information blub from Amazon abou tthe book:
Every day, millions of families around the world gather--at the table or on the floor, in a house or outdoors--to eat together. Ever wondered what a typical meal is like on the other side of the world? Or next door? Cultural geographers Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio visited twenty-five families in twenty-one countries to create this fascinating look at what people around the world eat in a week. Meet a family that spends long hours hunting for seal and fish together; a family that raises and eats guinea pigs; a family that drinks six gallons of Coca-Cola a week.
In addition to profiles of each family, What the World Eats includes photo galleries and illustrated charts about fast food, safe water, life expectancy, literacy rates, and more!
Each family's profile features:
* Full-color photographs, including each family posing with the food consumed in a week.

And the pictures. The 3rd link is a mix of the first two I think, but you scroll instead of clicking through:

Thanks Mike! I haven't seen it, but it does look interesting. Even without the words, the pictures share quite a bit :)
