February 8 - This will make you tear up a bit

Episode watched: Jessie's Dad's wedding

Not only do I love watching Bizarre Foods, but I certainly enjoy having a go at various odd eats. I'm definitely going to have to learn to stomach some weirdness while in Cambodia later this year.
Somehow Screech gets a hold of some chocolate covered grasshoppers imported from Afghanistan, he offers them to Lisa and ultimately Zack gets a hold of them and gives them to Mr. Belding. The reason I bring up the chocolately goodness of the these creepy crawlers is because while watching Bizarre Foods tonight, Andrew Zimmern took a stab at trying one of the more odd foods I've ever heard of covered in chocolate...a raw onion. And it's not like he was in Afghanistan, Armenia or Australia,  he was in Pennsylvania.  He sank his teeth in and warned all that it's a treat that should not be enjoyed by anyone. I think I'd tend to agree, when Andrew Zimmern warns you about a food, it's a good idea to keep your distance. The only time it's appropriate to eat raw onions is in the book Holes when you're nearly starving to death.

Lesson learned: Not all things covered in chocolate taste good, even if you're menstruating.
