There are many unusual foods in the world, (some examples listed previously) and nobody has the right to make money by branding them as Bizarre.This amounts to cultural "drive by shooting" from the safety of their cushy contract with the Travel Channel. 2. Zimmern may have won accolades for other work, but that takes nothing away from the deserved condemnation for the "Bizarre Foods" series. Obviously his life experiences led him to view foods from other cultures as "Bizarre". No other explanation has been offered or is available. 3. It is rather sad that an unsuspecting and upstanding individual such as yourself felt compelled to propagate Zimmern's culture branding propaganda. In any case this discussion -as engaging as it may be- should probably be taken off line, in case there is more to be said. Regards,E.
