Food & Birds! (Not Food Birds, the Aquarium Would Object)

Apr 06, 2011 17:12

Two Saturdays ago, I had my first Saturday off in months! It was very exciting, especially since my new medicine regime means I get up by 7 or 8 every morning. Instead of going back to sleep, I happily got ready to go to the aquarium ( Read more... )

If you liked Bizarre Foods, I also highly recommend No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain. Like BF, he goes to different countries and tries their cuisine and meets people, but there's less emphasis on so-called 'weird foods' and more on getting a view of their culture and how it relates to food. I saw an episode where he went back to Cambodia, which was like his first show, and took another look at it (admitting that he'd not done the country justice the first time around). In between eating food, he talked to a lot of people about how the Khmer Rouge affected and is still affecting the country to this day. I was also really impressed by an episode where he went to the Ozarks because he treated the people he met with the same courtesy and respect for their traditions that he shows in other countries ( ... )

I shall check that show out! It sounds very interesting.

*attempts to hide horns under short hair on head* Dunno...guess it's just one of those things...

Also, Man vs. Food can be highly entertaining, though the show seems to focus mostly on American restaurants but you do get a chance to see a lot of really cool local establishments around the country.

I really love me some food and travel shows. <3 Netflix has been worth every penny because of that.

I have made chicken and quail tagine before!

Yay for you having cool stuff to do, watch, and eat.

I envy your quail tangine. I really need to take more of an advantage of NOLA being such a food city.

That parakeet place sounds awesome. Totally jealous!

It is so awesome! I hope to get a chance to go back in the not-too-distant future, though Lord knows when I'll next get a Saturday off.
