Bizarre Food in China

Andrew Zimmerman's Bizarre Food episode on China made my mouth water. I know some of the food he featured were gross like insects and animal's penises but there are food that are really yummy, especially the street food in Beijing. Makes me want to pack my bags and go to China.

I always watch Zimmerman's show on the Travel Channel. Actually it is the only show I regularly watch over the Travel Channel. It is very interesting, it is very educational. The show introduces cuisine of different nations (and even some parts of the United States) to America. Food is very much a part of culture and it plays the most significant part of who we are.

Actually, basic Anthropology would say that nothing is bizarre when it comes to culture. Civilization is defined by each civilization and the gauge people use to measure what is civilized or not and what is barbaric or not is dependent on their culture. That being said, no culture is on top of the other.

Bizarre or not, Bizarre Food by Andrew Zimmerman gives a special twist to what is yummy or delicious. It takes a strong stomach to eat what you don't grew up on. And it takes a very broad mind to appreciate it.
