My wife could not watch a programme called Bizarre eating, the presenter was eating a pig head, the eyes etc. I have a delicate stomach but I don't mind watching certain things on television. Do you have a delicate stomach? Do you like eating bizarre things? Do you like to try different food or are you traditional?

I don't really have a delicate stomach, but I don't think I'd enjoy watching something like that. It doesn't sound enjoyable to me at all. I'm ok with watching a whole pig or fish be cooked or whatever, but as for stabbing the eyes on a toothpick to eat as hors d'oeuvres or whatever, no thanks, I'll pass.

I like to try different foods, yes, but I couldn't watch that show, either. I just can't see spending my time watching something like that. People eating bugs and stuff don't appeal to me, either, although if I had to do it to survive I would. Maybe we women don't have the intestinal fortitude that you guys do!

I do not like these bizarre food. Especially I can not eat sea food such as oysters and octopus, it is disgusting for me. But I know for many people it is delicacy. I am more traditional consider the food I eat. I like chicken meat, rise, fruits and staff like that. But I like also Chinese and Asian food also Italian food is so great, all that pasta, it is great:)

I have watched that show and let me tell you it has turned my stomach a few times and I am not that squeamish. Just that he can eat some nasty looking stuff..they much pay him well. I like to try new and different foods but I wouldn't go outside my comfort zones of food trying to eat something like he does.

I don't eat bizarre things if you don't consider the intestines blood and head of a lamb bizarre.

I have two parents and one sister. I am the only one who can watch stuff like that and not let it bother me. Same with watching medical shows that show actual medical procedures. It just doesn't bother me. I have eaten a few unusual things, but there is a line I wouldn't cross. I will never (intentionally, lol) eat a bug.

I like watching that show. I wouldn't mind trying some of the stuff he eats but some things I don't think I could eat. I know I wouldn't be able to eat bugs that are still alive unless I had to in order to stay alive but hopefully it will never come to that. The beating hearts that he eats often I don't think I would be able to eat. I think as long as its cooked I wouldn't mind trying it.

We are tradionalists here,we both enjoy good but mostly plainer food,the roast beef and the mashed potatoes,the vegetables that are in season.As a child we used to eat offal,and we often had stuffed lambs hearts,or liver and we very much enjoyed eating it.But it is rare that we eat it today.I personally would not want to watch anyone eat anything bizarre,as for an eye?no not for me,there are certain types of odd food that canbe cooked and disguised and then thet can get away with it,but on the whole it is pretty much a thing that would put me off altogether.

I can try some things, but I can't watch that show either. I have eaten snails and that's about as brave as I get.

That's pretty disgusting and shocking! I would not be able to see an animal being slaughtered let alone he beheading of a human person. That is sick!

I live in a country where they eat insects, dogs and even rats. Of course these are eaten in some areas and not served as main stream foods. I can't watch people devouring such items, but do realize it's cultural. When I tell Thais that in Australia we often eat shark, the response is similsr to mine is to their eating habits.

Oh, I've seen that show too, and it doesn't bother me too much, I have a pretty solid stomach, but if I smelled something foul, then it would make me sick. No, I don't like eating bizarre things, I'll stick with the foods I know. I'm very traditional.

I can't watch that show... nope! I was flipping through channels once and came across that show. For just a few seconds, I saw a man about to munch down on a handful of live worms. I changed that channel as fast as I could! I won't eat bugs. I don't care how they're prepared. I've lived a long time without eating any bugs (at least not intentionally!) and I can live the rest of my life without them, too. I've tried different things that are not usual in this country like octopus, squid and frogs legs (okay, ONE frog's leg). I don't like the octopus or squid because they're kind of chewy, like tough meat. The frog's leg actually DID taste enough like chicken so that if I ever want that taste again, I'll eat chicken. It's a LOT cheaper! Seeing people eat things like eyeballs and worms definitely makes me queasy. I normally have a pretty strong stomach and love to watch operations on TV, but I can't handle seeing someone eating things that I wouldn't normally consider edible, like eyeballs or even brain. Nope, I won't watch Bizarre Eating, either! I'll go over and sit with your wife.

Hmmm! Your Aviatar is new! I thought I had a new friend till I realize it was you ronaldinu! Ha!ha!ha! It's nice though! Regarding your topic, I wish to let you know I can't stomach those kind of Bizarre eating shows. I don't watch them! Yakkkk! That would lead me to throw up so whenever I'd chance upon such show... I'd immediately change the channel.

I do not have a weak stomach but I used to watch some shows on tv that sometimes had people eating some weird things. They were reality television shows. It would be a competition to get money. The contestants would sometimes be eating live spiders, live worms, parts of other animals that I will not mention, and some of the participants would eat it then vomit it back up. Even if they ate the item they would have to keep it down to be winning. If they vomitted it back up then they would lose. YUCK
