Bizzare...

I just finished reading the Bizarre Truth by Andrew Zimmern( I guess that's how its spelled) It was a good book. If you seen his show then you will like his book. I like the fact that he really respects other cultures, and tries to go for the genuine travel experience when he is abroad. He is also very humble and gracious when he talks about how he encounters people in different places who might not be as well of as we are here in America. The way he describes the unusual dishes he eats are also informative and funny well. I love the why he describes something as tasting like a fish's behind. A good read.

Update...

Some of the highlights from the book: from Minnesota sour cream raisin pie. It has sweet custard, raisins, sour cream. It basically looks like a meringue pie. Also from Minne a pie shake. That's right. An entire slice of pie with ice cream and milk thrown into a blender and made into a shake. Apparently its most effective with banana cream or key lime pie. From Wisconsin, something called Hoppel-poppel. It is browned potatoes, chunks of salami, creamy scrambled eggs all mixed together. From Louisiana something called Oreille de cochon or Pig's ear. It's fried dough that is filled with spicy boudin sausage and powdered with sugar. From Tennessee barbecue spaghetti which is laced with shreds of smokey meat. I myself one day want to try barbecue salad. There was numerous interesting foods and facts in the book. It was an awesome read.

Its been a while...

since I blogged. Oh well. There is this book I'm going to check out called 500 things to eat before its too late, and the very best places to eat them. I love that title. Theses days everything is said not to be good for you. So looking through this book, I could see there was alot of gooey and decadent things to eat. I'll post another blog later to share some of the highlights from the book.
