Bizarre Foods America on the Travel Channel

[mtnbkr]

Anyone watch this?

The host, Andrew Zimmern, travels around the US eating strange things.  What I've noticed lately is that nearly every episode, he goes hunting (with a gun) or engages in some sort of non-traditional fishing (bowfishing for skates and rays or snakefish).  No, he's not an observer, he participates, killing wild hogs, squirrels, nutria, rabbits, birds, etc.  In one episode, a hunter was using an AR (alligator IIRC).  Some of the cooks he features hunt to gather game for dishes they are developing.

No preaching about guns, just huntin' and eating what they kill.

Been a fan for years.  Love when he gives the durian another try.  Takes a special kind of stupidity to do that.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian



He's done quite a few of the hunter-themed shows, ranging from basically straight-up to almost off-the-wall.  Never seen him go crazy, though - guess Uncle Ted has the patent on that.  I am still waiting for him to do a show about monkey brains.  In the mean time I'll be entertained learning about one more testicle festival.  (So far my favorite is a tie between the gauchos and the turkey testicles.)

stay safe.

I like the show.

But I can only take so much before I want to track him down and cut his lips off.

Gaucho testicles? Man you nasty.

Somebody needs to teach Andrew Zimmern to chew with his mouth closed.

And somebody needs to teach him not to bad-mouth Paula Deen, especially when he himself was living under Minneapolis highway overpasses and stealing women's purses to feed his drug habit, not that long ago...

Getting the monkey's skull open with the mallet while it's spinning around in the headstock in the middle of the table and screaming at you isn't nearly as easy as they made it look in Faces of Death.

And the Thugee serving it pre-peeled totally killed my ability to suspend disbelief in Indiana Jones II...
