Bizarre Foods: Or What Not to Have for Dinner
Do you watch this show on the Travel Channel? It’s the one with Andrew Zimmern who travels the world eating the nastiest food on the planet.
Many people complain that it bothers them when Zimmern talks with food in his mouth. I never really noticed until somebody pointed it out to me and then I couldn’t stop focusing on it.
In all the episodes that I have watched, I’ve only seen him not eat one thing. He couldn’t eat the stinky tofu that was fermented in an attic of a restaurant somewhere in Asia (I can’t remember exactly where).
He eats a lot of bugs, scorpions, snakes, and other disgusting, nasty things. The other night he was in a “restaurant” that was actually in someone’s kitchen. He eats in a lot of outdoor markets around the world. I wonder if he ever got food poisoning. He must have somewhere a long the way.
It’s like a train wreck of a show where you get totally grossed out but you can’t stop watching it.
