Watching Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, I see these foods alot. AZ seldom reacts to strange foods. The reactions these folks had are, I suspect, more typical of the average American.

NOT. "Fear Factor" with Joe Rogan also featured contestants eating this kind of stuff, along with spiders, worms, rotting sheep guts, etc. "Survivor" has featured a few as well. Balut in particular seems to be quite a popular choice. I've had durian, and once you get past the smell, it's not too bad.

I agree. AZ is there in the country, with the people, learning about their foods, so he wouldn't want to be rude.

I rarely watch those kinds of reality shows, Dawg.

You do see forced politeness sometimes. But a lot of his show he just eats the stuff and seems to like it or not care one way or the other. He's not often grossed out.

I appreciate his words "I always try something twice".

I haven't laughed that hard or that long in ages. I was in a bad mood before I opened that link. Thanks GG

Durian is best 100% best FRESH... Not frozen in a container.

I've seen fresh durian in the Asian-American store but I'm afraid to try it.

 

[Dawgluver]

It really isn't bad, tastes like smelly tapioca. We had to relegate the one I bought at the Asian market to the back deck when we visited Baby Bro when he lived in Philly, and I was the only one who ate it.

I would try the durian and the chicken feet. The only food I want to eat live is fruit and vegis.

I bet there aren't any disgusting eating contests for Durian. Jes sayin'...

I'd rather try to shove down obscene amounts of food (Well that's dinner for me) then eat things that move or smell really bad.

Both are kinda the same now aren't they?
