One Man's Delicacy...

Is another man's garden pest. This show on the Travel Channel explores unusual world cuisine. I have to admit a morbid fascination with this show. Andrew will honestly try ANYTHING! He reminds me of my parents and they love escargot. I still won't try snails but can't look away if someone else eats them.
