"The worst it got was near the end. A lot of people died right at the end, and I didn't know if I could make it another day. A farmer, a Russian, God bless him, he saw my condition, and he went into his house and came out with a piece of meat for me."
"He saved your life."
"I didn't eat it."
"You didn't eat it?"
"It was pork. I wouldn't eat pork."
"Why?"
"What do you mean, why?"
"What, because it wasn't kosher?"
"Of course."
"But not even to save your life?"
"If nothing matters, there's nothing to save."

Please take a moment to read the full extract from this new book on the Guardian website link.
If you are a vegetarian, its a must read! if you are not...fear not, it's not an aggressive hard sell to encourage readers to give up meat, but it is a very engaging, warm, personal account of one man's food choices.
The extract has won me over, can't wait to read the book.
With thanks to Gianfranco for the recommendation.
