Would you ever consider trying any bizarre, exotic foods like Andrew Zimmern on the Travel Channel?

What if you were offered a certain amount of money to sample foods like bull testicles, cheese with maggot larvae, cow intestines, and frog heart that is still beating?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Nope. I like trying new food, but not THAT much. But considering that I come from "exotic" country with many "exotic food", what I consider local and familiar is exotic for most Western. What considered normal in Western country can be an acquired taste for us. For example, my family hates dairy products including cheese and blue cheese is yucky for me.

For people who like to try new food, I challenge you to try Durian (www.mahalo.com/durian/), which is an acquired taste even for Asian people, peteh (smelly peas) and oncom (fermented tempeh, so that makes it double fermented soy beans).

I'll try anything once, no matter how disgusting it may sound or look. I read somewhere when I was younger that you have to try a food ten times before you start to like it. Over the years I have found that many foods really are an acquired taste, and there are different preferences for foods depending on the culture of a person. Keeping this in mind, over the years I have tried numerous things that I never would have thought I might like, only to have them end up as one of my favorite foods.

I would love to be adventurous and spontaneous enough to say, "Sure!" However, the reality is that my stomach just could not take that. Heck, I get naseous if I get too hungry! I hate to think what would happen if I even contemplated eating anything so weird. On a dare when I was a kid I tasted my own urine. That is about as weird as I want to get.

Sure! Heck, I'd try it for free. My only criteria are that it doesn't have a risk of killing me (so casu marzu, for instance is out -- basically, maggot-infested Italian cheese -- because of the risk of bug infections) and that it doesn't contain onions. I have an onion intolerance, so.

But if it meets those criteria, I don't see the harm. The worst that can happen is that I won't like it. And if I do like it, I have a new option for food!

Andrew Zimmern is extreme. I am all for trying new recipes and restaurants. But there are just things that man eats, I can't wrap my head around.
What I do enjoy is his show "Bizarre Foods" pulls back the curtain to many cultures and societies that aren't dependent on Wendy's and Taco Bell, rather making use of the Earth. We have become a processed nation, if it doesn't come in a can or "Mcwrapper" we just can't eat it.
I try to eat healthy, as most of us do. But we have become accustomed to our way of consuming. As the cultures he visits, are accustomed to theirs.
