Bizarre Foods America on right now. The good chef and his hosts have killed, prepared and dined on deer, squirrel and woodchuck in WV. Maybe hog too, but didn't see it. Good on him!

To most of America, eating wild game IS bizarre!  Ed

I have seen him eat scorpions, ants, grubs, grasshoppers, raccoons, possums etc- but I was most proud of him for the benefit and relief work he did in the south after our April 27, 2011 tornado outbreak.

I don't watch every show, but I caught the episode a couple of years ago where he ate somethings so disgusting, even he couldn't keep it down.
You know that had to be pretty bad.

Watched it last night. they cooked up some good looking vittles.
My idea of being organic is taking a dump in the woods.

I'm considered sort of a "Zimmern-lite" in that I'll try almost anything - and like damn near everything I try.
I grew up on rabbit, squirrel, groundhog, catfish, carp - and turtle soup. Love 'em all. I especially liked his line last night where he said (paraphrased) "This is heritage on a plate." How very, very true.
Young and not so young people today turn their noses up at anything like game as being unnatural - and yet they eat chicken nuggets. Irony at its best.
Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

Good for Andrew! I have been to two cooking schools, and both of them had a portion dedicated to wild game and vegetable/fruit preparation.
I have always found George Leonard Herter's three books "Bull Cook and Authentic Historical Recipes and Practices" to be a fun read for some different perspectives to game cooking. Recipes for 'Doves Wyatt Earp' , 'Swedish Muskrat', 'Snapping Turtle Stew', and 'Prairie Dog Bat Masterson' can be found within. Those familiar with Herter's somewhat flamboyant personality might find these books to be a good (and amusing) read.

Young and not so young people today turn their noses up at anything like game as being unnatural - and yet they eat chicken nuggets. Irony at its best. Well said, and good for you. My dad used to say to my brother and I when we'd balk at trying something due to the way it looked, from as early as I can remember: 'all I ask is that you try it. If you don't like it, I'll never force you to eat it again. If you don't try it you'll never know.' Solid advice. I'm not into insects, rancid meats or anything truly nasty (I know, pretty subjective  ), but I'm pretty ballsy about trying just about anything. I have a buddy who when we first met would look at me like I had two heads for ordering a Filet-O-Fish instead of a plain burger like him. That was ten years ago. He's now something of a sushi aficionado.

He and Mike Rowe could do a special on pest extermination and eat what they caught.
The end of democracy, and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.
