Oh no, was it Namibia where he ate the stuff that even he couldn't stomach?
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

yeah, the egg cooked in the dirt? Bleh.
Bourdain would also crack my ass UP all the time. While hooking me up with toro and foie gras.

I'd take that over durian (or beating cobra heart, or, say, BUGS) in a heartbeat.

I think Iceland was the one I'd probably bail at, though. Some of the stuff...yeah.
The Quebec episode did me in. Raw seal AND poutine in the same episode? Um...
The worst part is, those are my people (at least the poutine; the seal was Inuit).

FTR, I think poutine looks tasty as hell (I used to always have fries with gravy back in college), but it makes my circulatory system do an Emerson Cod-worthy "Oh HELL NO!!!!"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I like that Boudain walks the walk. He's an adamant carnivore, but will go to the cow slaughter or the deer hunt before eating the meat.
And, yeah, he is the king of snark.

And yet even he sounded a bit guilty about the seal. Didn't stop him from eating it, though.

I think it was that the whole experience was so alien to him; but you could tell he deeply respected these people and their customs and what they needed to do to survive.
If he'd refused eating it, I think he thought it would be a sign of disrespect.
I thought that whole sequence was quite interesting and thought provoking.
