English term or phrase: outlandish
"There are "getemono bars" where food is a sport to see how outlandish eating can be."

"Où manger est un sport qui consiste à repousser les limites de la gastronomie" ? Quelqu'un a une autre idée ? Merci !

Car dans ces bars, on mange des insectes, etc.

"Talking travel with Bizarre Foods host Andrew Zimmern (part 2)

by Jerry Guo (RSS feed) on Jul 18th 2008 at 9:00AM
I'm here with Andrew Zimmern, the wildly popular host of Travel Channel's hit series, Bizarre Foods. He's a personality that needs no introduction--at least around the Gadling water cooler. You could even say he's our Paris Hilton.

His show--which is about what it sounds like--has just finished its second season, with episodes spanning the globe from Iceland and Bolivia to St. Petersberg and Delhi (check out our episode guides here). Beyond the tube, he's a celebrated food writer, dining critic, radio talk-show host, and chef. For more Andrew, check out his blog.

In this exclusive interview, Andrew dishes on everything from director Ang Lee's stinky tofu fetish to his NYC School of Hot Dog Consumption Theory.

What are the top four worst foods you've sampled, ranked by terribleness?

* My aunt's meatloaf. Horrific. Each slice ringed with an orange pool of fat, spreading out on dirty plastic plates. I was six at the time and it traumatized me.
* Stinky tofu at Dai's Sisig in Angeles in the Philippines. It's a quick hash made with meat and cartilage from chopped pigs faces. It was really nasty.
* Raw pigs balls sliced and served with raw egg yolks. I ate it at a getemono bar in Tokyo, and texturally and aromatically, it was a real challenge to eat. </B<"

dépaysant


Explanation:
combien manger peut être dépaysant.
Attention au sens de sport ici. Pas sûr que cela puisse se traduire par sport. Le mot sport en anglais a beaucoup d'acceptions
