Occasionally I will sit and watch the travel channel.  I often wonder what is wrong with people. Being a mother their isn’t a whole lot that you don’t see, smell, and often taste.  However when I watch the television, I watch the Travel Channel to dream about a great vacation.  I love Samantha Brown.  She makes every place she goes  look like the only place in the world you would want to be.  That’s a great program to watch. But watching “Bizarre Foods”  is another experience. 

I watch with that gross fascination thing.  How many different intestines and stomachs can one person eat?  I understand not wanting to waste anything but come on, those raw and barely cooked, stuffed innards cannot be good for you.  If the smell alone doesn’t make you sick then surely the texture would.  How sick do you have to be to eat those sorts of things and keep them down. 

Why is it that foreign country’s such as China and Japan do not cook there food.  I have watched a weeks worth of bizarre foods and realized that it doesn’t matter what it is, they don’t cook it.  It does make a fat girl such as myself understand the devastating truth about cooking oil, saturated fats and so on.  But I can’t imagine the raw aspect of cuisine.  YUK

While the type of food showcased in this program turns my stomach, I can’t stop watching. 

Most cooking shows are not much better, if you stop and watch just a couple of cooking shows, you will stop and wonder what these people are thinking. Do they really eat the food they cook?  It may be pretty but it don’t taste cook.  And I have learned that if it’s ugly it taste good.  Please hold the intestines, and cow tongue for now.  That’s ugly and I don’t care what it taste like, let the professionals eat that.
