5.0 out of 5 stars Bizarre foods for Bizarre people. February 23, 2008

By Trina D. Aleman

Me and my husband absolutely love this program. My husband especially likes the Phillipines because the people are friendly and they have good food. I like the one in Morocco, because I laugh over and over during the scene when he eats putrid meat, and hits his head with his hands. We enjoy it repeadedly.
