Hah, my wife and I have discussed this exact thing before, and we both agree, we would have him eating all manner of disgusting stuff and pretend it’s cultural cuisine.

Although I think people actually do eat possum around here, unsure about the pickled part. :P

Blech, I’ll try almost anything once but I draw the line at fetid meat and animal waste products. If Zimmern wants to abuse himself by ingesting putrid delicacies he can definitely have my share...

I’ve wondered at times if he was being played, especially the way folks watched him and laughed.

Did you catch the Cajun country episode? The funny thing is most of the stuff he ate (Alligator, Nutria, Crayfish) are all normal down here. Boudan? Come on.. it is pork sausage with rice.. what's bizarre about that?

Or when he tried the “eskimo ice cream” in Alaska. Apparently its a real “food” but please. Oh and he hated it.

I’d believe they punk’d him. Personally, I still believe that haggis is a joke played by Scots on unsuspecting tourists, so I could certainly get behind this theory.

A question I have often pondered, my FRiend. I have no idea how Zimmern chokes down some of that stuff.

I think at times, it might be a set-up.

One of the funnier episodes was when he tried eating “stinky tofu”. He couldn’t do it. When you actually make Andrew Zimmern retch you’ve done a good job. He actually congratulated the woman who had made it.

So do you think Andrew Zimmern is being scammed by the locals playing a giant practical joke on him.

Have never seen the show. However I would not doubt it.

My Appalachian relatives are not above putting on a show when some city slickers stops by. It makes for some fine entertainment. Better then cow tipping!
