3. strange food

To break up the monotony of shots of sun-tanned tourists on cruise ships and Anthony Bourdain’s smoke-filled visits to little known gourmet eateries, the Travel Channel debuted Bizzare Foods with Andrew Zimmern in 2007. Andrew is a chef, a food critic and, most important, a daring gourmand. He’s a likable and entertaining guy and, for a time, I enjoyed watching the show.

The premise of the show is simple. Andrew travels to a specific country, meets some locals, gets them to cook up a batch of native specialties and Andrew eats ‘em — no questions asked. And let me tell you, Andrew has eaten some pretty weird stuff in the show’s five seasons. In early episodes of the show, Andrew happily scarfed down balut (a fertilized duck egg with a duck embryo inside), a still-beating frog’s heart, fermented whale blubber, lamb’s tongue and eye, assorted insects and various internal and external parts of chickens that are usually dropped down a garbage disposal.
As the seasons rolled on, a pattern seemed to develop. I became very aware of Andrew’s affinity for the reproductive organs of masculine members of the edible animal kingdom. It was very obvious that Andrew loved a good pair of cojones at chow-time. On outings to local marketplaces, Andrew always questioned butchers about the availability of Rocky Mountain oysters or, as they were called in the episode filmed in Spain - criadillas. Extended segments of subsequent shows featured a smiling and anxious Andrew stuffing bollocks into his maw like movie popcorn. Happy waitresses or humble farmers would present platters overflowing with steamed and deep-fried delicacies — like calf’s brains or jellied moose nose — but Andrew, although grateful, would eye the kitchen, hopeful for a big bowl of balls. Soon, Bizarre Foods got boring.

The novelty of Bizarre Foods eventually wore off and I started looking elsewhere for entertainment from my cable television provider. Frankly, I wanted to watch a guy visit Taiwan and gobble testicles for an hour, I’d watch gay Asian porn.

Hello everyone, it has been a while since I posted. This topic made me think of exotic fruit.
