Foods Andrew Zimmern Just Couldn't Eat

While some of us rarely stray too far from our culinary comfort zones, plenty of other adventurous souls have an insatiable desire for the exotic and the unknown. Fittingly, numerous television shows exist to celebrate these brave, hungry folks while also providing vicarious pleasure to those who would never trade a ham and cheese sandwich for fire-roasted tarantula. One of the most prominent shows is "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern", which follows the renowned chef as he seeks out authentic cuisine from all corners of the globe. Despite his open mind and enthusiasm, Zimmern still has his limits. Some of his most hated foods will surely surprise you; others will make you cringe right along with him.

Is there anything here you wouldn't eat?

[larhondamickles]

It’s why I like and trust him, he doesn’t pretend to like everything like a lot of these foodies on YouTube

Some years back, I stayed in a hotel in Yala, Southern Thailand, had 2 pictograms on the wall by our door indicating that firearms and hand grenades were prohibited. On the wall on the other side of the door, there was a pictogram, twice the size saying Durian was also prohibited.

Is it me, or is she not saying his name correctly?

Zimmern met his absolute Waterloo with Lutefisk - strange for a Minnesotan. But it really is hellish.

Suddenly I'm craving some oatmeal & walnut cookies. Maybe I'll eat some of the raw dough before I cook them as well.

[rbwirth]

The fact that he hates the taste of walnuts and won't eat them is enough to dismiss any assumed culinary skill he may have.

[tobalaz]

At first, I was jokingly going to say if you can eat pickled animal genitals you can eat anything, but since I went through COVID, I can no longer eat white bread because it smells yeasty, can't drink beer anymore for the same reason, and can't stand most cheeses, sour cream and milk unless it's fresh.
So I can't blame the guy.

I used to hate walnuts 'cos they always seemed to taste rancid. Then I ate some fresh walnuts and realised that the ones I had been eating were always stale. I love fresh walnuts; they will go bad fairly quickly due to their oil content.
Eat 'em while they're tasty!
Oh, and pickled walnuts are the best!

I can’t trust anyone who refuses Ice cream with warm apple pie 🤯

[ForageGardener]

Black walnuts are so tasty, I wouldn't call the flavor earthy, I call it fruity. They have a flavor like mixed fruit, but without the sweetness. Quite a delicacy I urge anyone to find some and try, especially fresh

[MHO]

I doubt Andrew has ever been truly hungry.

[TheKekeberry]

I was obsessed with this show growing up. Idk why though since I’m a extremely picky eater.

[legitbooty]

I like how half of these I actually like while some of the stuff he eats and loves I find nasty. walnuts, durian, oatmeal, and stinky tofu are some of my favorite foods lol

[sescathierry]

I was a huge fan. Until I bought tickets to one of his events for the new york wine and food festival... he treats his fans terribly😔 but I Thank him for my love of weird food and to trying anything at least once.

[aldrinkading]

I always enjoy watching Andrew's food adventure.

[tomc.]

Don't be knockin fried Spam (with rice).

[gonzowarburn]

He ate cheese hanging in a man's shack that had goat hair and maggots in it.

He also said Buffalo Chicken MREs were unbearable.

Not an opinion I trust for most things.

[Maddie]

I do agree with him, what’s the point of traveling if you don’t want to try other foods.

[mystysenchantedeats]

I’ve always eaten raw cookie dough 😬… and I’m 32 years old. It never made me sick 🤫
