TV Show to Check Out: Bizarre Foods
It's a Travel Channel show. I don't have cable so I have only seen some episodes on Netflix streaming. This show is amazing. The host, Andrew Zimmern, is enthusiastic and likes to go where the people live. He's not at all afraid of going nearly anywhere and has had shows in safe locales like Paris but also in Uganda, where he went fishing for lungfish in a swamp by sticking his hand in a ditch of water. My favorite was the trip to Sicily, where he goes to a fishing village and has lunch with a family. I'm not sure I'd eat most of what he does---he's a lot braver than me definitely, and most of us, I suspect---and I sure hope he keeps his shots current, but check the show out if you get the chance. It's really fun.
