An interesting series on TV was shown on the Travel Channel from 2006 on, and I was able to see a recorded segment about Samoa that was made in 2008. Andrew Zimmern is a chef and food writer who travelled over the world researching and filming exotic dishes, some from strange places such as Minnesota, Dallas, Philadelphia and Kansas City. I only saw the segment on Samoa in its entirety, they were authentic about the preparation and consumption of palolo worms, rhinoceros beetle larvae, sea cucumbers and fruit bat. Made me homesick.
Other people will have to check the veracity of the segments about Minnesota (lutefisk?) and Dallas (rattlenake?) or other strange places I am not familiar with.
