The Core Set of Global Cuisine

[ParallelLines]

@scudsucker

After all, we are responsible for the global trend of over-boiled corn starch, the home-grown cuisine of fire-roasted whole field mice, dried termites, chicken feet, flying ants and more.

Worst things that Andrew Zimmern (or you) tried to eat

Andrew, of Bizarre Foods fame, tried a heck of a lot of things I wouldn’t even want to be in the same room with. He ate most of them, including the very ripe cheese with maggots. But I have fond memories of when he tried iguana - in Mexico, maybe? The recipe? Hold the whole iguana over flames until the skin is burnt off. Boil. Eat. “That’s just awful”

[ Mostly for the comparison and the lolz, I’d at least try a few of those, and shouldn’t slam anyone’s national/cultural food choices, because they’re interconnected with culture and so often desperate need. But figured a gentle poking fun (which I feel there was in the quoted section as well!) was fair game. ]
