Description

Andrew Zimmern, the sponsor of The Journey Channel’s struck sequence Weird Meals, comes with an extremely well-earned reputation for touring far and wide to search out and test something and everything that’s used as food internationally, from cow vein stew in Bolivia and large flying bugs in Uganda to uncooked camel kidneys in Ethiopia, putrefied shark in body pudding in Iceland and Wolfgang Puck's Hunan design rooster balls in L A. For Zimmern, regional food — weird, major or downright belly turning as it might be to us -- isn't merely what’s offered at mealtime. It's a main method to finding what's most genuine — the weird reality — about civilizations everywhere. Having swallowed his way round the world within the span of four months of Bizarre Meals, Zimmern has released Bizarre Sides, a brand new line on the Travel Channel, and this, his first book, a share of his trips as he not just likes the “taboo treats” of the world, but goes deeply in to the cultures and lifestyles of far flung locations and attempts the absolute most valued of the current traveler’s objectives: The Traditional Encounter.
