My latest obsession - Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern

I am eleven months into getting my DVR figured out and am finally not freaking out ten minutes before Rescue Me is on. I actually sit down and shuffle through the TV Guide that is offered by my cable provider and studiously decide what is worth my time. One day after recording No Reservations I noticed a show called Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern right after it. Having no idea what it was I recorded it and that know has led me down the dark path I am on now. I am obsessed with this show. He is ok and no where near witty and clever as Bourdain. Zimmern is kind of is doughy but enthusiastic and seems to know his shit about a range of foods and food topics. But what this guy has more than anything is balls! He will put anything in his mouth. That is why I watch the show. Of course it is a window into different cultures through their food, which I love, but the most entertaining part of the show is when he eats a conch penis in Triniad or a fermented duck embryo still in its egg in the Phillipines. Or Jellied Moose Nose in Alaska. Or some weird bug out of an H.P. Lovecraft nightmare in the Phillipines. Or pickled chicken feet in Trinidad. Or when we shows you how haggis is made . .step by step. You have always heard but never really seen. Etc. Etc. So far in the episodes I have seen he has not spit anything out yet...but he came very close with that wormy-big thing in the Phillipines and whale oil in Alaska. I have heard he spits up some rotting or over-fermented tofu . ..but I have not seen that episode yet. I love it and if you are food-obsessed wine geek like me nothing beats this show. Highly reccomended. It is on the Travel Channel and is about the only thing worth watching besides Bourdain's show.
