Brainerd Dispatch April 12 - 18, 2015 •1 1 By Andrew Warren TV Media S o, what's the weirdest, most outlandish thing that you've ever eaten? Me, I've chowed down on some crickets, ants and grasshop- pers a few times, and of course I'd had more than my fair share of raw meats; steak tartar and sushi are just too tasty to pass up. If just the thought of watching someone pop a few crunchy in- sects into their mouth is enough to turn your stomach, do yourself a favor: don't go back and watch old episodes of "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern." Luckily for the culinary squea- mish, more recent seasons of the Travel Channel favorite, which re- turns to the screen Monday, April 13, have been a little bit more tame. Zimmern has a passion for all foods, no matter how bizarre they may seem, and it seems that there isn't anything out there that he won't try. What he's out to experience are local cuisines that seem a lit- tle bit — or maybe a lot — "off" by American standards. Of course, to the locals in the coun- tries he's visiting, these foods are nothing out of the ordinary at all. This season he's off to places such as Taipei, where he'll visit a mountainside factory to sample stinky tofu; Kazakhstan, where he'll milk a horse then chow down on sheep brains; and New- foundland, Canada, where he'll eat chicken fried seal flipper and moose pie. Add these new experiences to some of the strange ones he's had in seasons past — such as eating porcupine, sea cucumber or rotten shark meat (hákarl, an Icelandic specialty) — and it's clear to see that Zimmern is just reinforcing his point: a food that seems "bizarre" to one culture is just a normal, everyday snack in another.
