Does anyone else get sick while watching the "exotic" food shows on the Travel Channel?

Granted I've only ever watched them once out of morbid curiosity. I understand that in different areas of the world, people eat different things due to culture and the like, but most Americans don't find that kind of thing appetizing which makes a show pf that subject matter aimed at Americans an odd thing. I'm a carnivore as much as the next person, but some things are not meant to be eaten. So why the fascination with it and why are they so popular?

yes he eats some nasty stuff like the chicken and said the beak was the best part UGH!!!Ive watched it several times he toured the gulf coast once here i watched it because i live here and wanted to see what places he would go to and eat.
I wouldnt even put half of that stuff near my mouth
Its interesting though because i love to see what different cultures eat.Notice they always have food lined on streets with vendors ...we dont have that here wish we did kinda like a fair..

Yes, I do get a little sick. I agree with you completely. I know what peaks my interest is what other people eat. I quess because here in America it is considered taboo to eat Brains, or Spiders or anything exotic.

I know!! I only watched one of those programs you are talking about last week. First time, and will be the last time. It was just too gross for me. I think a lot of people just like to be shocked. Not me. I'm from the old school where peanut butter and jelly is good enough for me. lol

sumtimz but not really

i dont like looking at outdoor markets or back street cafes that offer a cheap inexperienced reporter an experience of a lifetime cuisine under 15 dinars!
