But not tripes. Sorry, I'm Portugese from mother's side, had tripes all my childhood and always hated the guts (pun intended) of it, no matter how well cooked it was. The chorizos and morcela (the blood sausage) might have a try, though.
BlueFox94 ... That's actually a misleading tagline for his show. It should be, "I know this looks terribly nasty, but I'm paid to eat it, so, fuck it"!
I love how Colbert just casually digs into everything without batting an eye "I see, pig-rectum. Delicious. Oh this is goat-brain? Wonderful *smears it on bread*"
Watched the show a bunch of times, but never knew Andrew was addicted... to something. Great for him that he's recovered :D He's all dressed up too. Nice. I like how he had the wine right there for Stephen too.
Brains have a lovely texture. It seems Colbert was referring to the idea, from an American perspective, fueled by a disconnect from the natural world and our food, and Hollywood entertainment.
Number one thing I learned from Chinese cooks - texture is the heart of their cuisine. I really had to disconnect from my 'comfort zone' sometimes, but definitely a dimension lost to western cuisine.
A Tang or even in some cases the sounds. In the Chicago episode he went to a butchering class and he says that people don't have even a problem with the sights, it's the sounds (which he says as the owner/butcher is snapping the back bone of a whole hog)
a lot of people from certain cultures are used to certain textures going with certain flavors. for example when it's chewy and slightly tough and rubbery, most expect it to taste like beef jerky. when it's gelatinous, you're expecting it to be sweet like jello. it's when gelatinous things are savory that kinda turn most westerners off.
this stuff isn't that weird in countries and households where its usual for people to grow their own pigs, chickens, goats.. when I was a kid, I used to eat cooked pig's blood, chicken's heart and kidneys served in soup, people regularly eat the marrow from veal bones and I remember a dish with fried pig's brain and scrambled eggs
Damn,I admire Stephen for eating these dishes.Most hosts would be squeamish about it and might not even go near it!! it's official, He's the best on television.
The Senegal meal has several variations in the Middle East an North Africa. Not saying that the meal is copied, but rather amazed how poor countries salvage everything from cattle for food. In Iraq it's called pacha, where we boil the tung, brains, eyes, hooves, and stuff the stomach with rice then boil it. All boiled in the same pot BTW. It may sound disgusting, and it is for a lot of Iraqis, but it is considered a macho meal. Where mechanics and other heavy workers have at breakfast.
In the US, most of us are disconnected from our own food history because of the crazy growth of packaged food after WWII. We all come from cultures that practice very similar food customs as the ones mentioned, but 60 years of being told to eat stuff in wrappers and from restaurants has sort of erased all that. Now we're all grossed out by what the real world eats.
I think in most countries they eat most of the animal, at least used to, because if you eat everything not just the meat animals can be an almost complete source of nutrition and raising a few animals or hunting is much more convinient than growing 30 different kinds of crops. I live in Hungary and I think the only things I have not eaten yet (nor do I plan on eating) are eyeballs, brain, asshole and uterus. I even ate cock's cock stew (looks like kidney beans, bit bigger though) a few times and I regularly eat stomach stew and blood sausage.
+3NGIN33R yeah came to the conclusion, after reading the comments, that most cultures do the same regardless of their wealth. Which is a good thing, as I like to try eccentric food when I travel.
My co-workers in New York still can't believe I ate chicken feet at a dim sum place. You have to open up your minds, people, not all food comes in a box.
Andrew Zimmern: What happens to the weird kid who use to eat weird stuff on the playground when he grows up.. Andrew Zimmern is AWESOME. One of the very few celebrities, along with Esteban Colberto, of course, I would love to meet.
Man, Americans over-state the 'nastiness' of surströmming. Threw together a whole challenge over here in China after watching the videos... it's fine. It smells like fermented stuff and tastes like fish sauce. It's not my favorite but it's not some bizarre gross thing.
Stephen is from South Carolina as he has no issues with eating crazy shit. My aunt tells me about eating racoon, oppusum and other crazy shit and she is from South Carolina.
I have tried most all those foods, and Stephen had the same reactions to them I did haha. This was great. I still don't understand why people enjoy Tripe, though I can eat it if I am hungry enough or get combo pho. Does anyone here LOVE Tripe?
Stephen must have lead a sheltered life in NC. I'm from next door, Georgia, and my grandmama used to cook scrambled eggs with brains and a little tender young polk salad.
I have finished watching this video completely. (我看完這部影片了) I am a Taiwanese who cares about the global affairs. (我是一個關心全球事務的台灣人) And, sadly, most of my fellow Taiwanese don't really care about the world. (但是，很不幸地，我大部分的台灣同胞不那麼在意世界。) Hopefully Taiwan can become increasingly globally-aware and globally-competitive. (希望台灣可以越來越有全球意識與全球競爭力。) God bless Taiwan. (天佑台灣。)
Sokna Sim Raw meat tastes very good, but it's an acquired taste. In the Middle East, near the Levant, it's called Kibbeh nayyeh. It is raw lamb or beef topped with salt and oil and is usually eaten with bread. Very delicious but it has to be professionally prepared.
Major respect to Colbert for being such a great sport and trying everything!
I bet it was delicious. If you are a really good cook you are able to prepare any kind of meat (and I mean it) in a way that it tastes fantastic.
And not squinting and making funny faces, Mr. Fallon and co
But not tripes. Sorry, I'm Portugese from mother's side, had tripes all my childhood and always hated the guts (pun intended) of it, no matter how well cooked it was. The chorizos and morcela (the blood sausage) might have a try, though.
I hope that he didn't have the runs that same night! 😁
Andrew Z. has the best job in the world....
"If it looks good, eat it!" - Andrew Zimmern
If it not looks good, don't watch it, eat it.
BlueFox94 ... That's actually a misleading tagline for his show. It should be, "I know this looks terribly nasty, but I'm paid to eat it, so, fuck it"!
the only thing he threw up from was durian fruit in indonesia and absolutely hated rotten shark mean in iceland
ilya Kozlov Yeah... That rotten shark will do it every time... lol.
I love Andrew. he's just a real human who loves food.
Stephen Colbert took the 'eat gross food gimmick' and made it classy. it's official, He's the most charming person on television.
I love how Colbert just casually digs into everything without batting an eye "I see, pig-rectum. Delicious. Oh this is goat-brain? Wonderful *smears it on bread*"
wow, he went right through everything with no hesitation! great job
Watched the show a bunch of times, but never knew Andrew was addicted... to something. Great for him that he's recovered :D He's all dressed up too. Nice. I like how he had the wine right there for Stephen too.
" Delicious and a horror show at the same time."
Most people have a problem not with the taste of foods, but the textures.
Brains have a lovely texture. It seems Colbert was referring to the idea, from an American perspective, fueled by a disconnect from the natural world and our food, and Hollywood entertainment.
Number one thing I learned from Chinese cooks - texture is the heart of their cuisine. I really had to disconnect from my 'comfort zone' sometimes, but definitely a dimension lost to western cuisine.

Love both Stephen and Andrew!!
Lovely tasting buffet there, lol.
One of the most memorable dish I ever had was Sauteed Brains & Kidney in Hungary!
Dear Andrew Zimmern, you are the reason I ever tried a taco de lengua. If it weren't for you, I'd never have found this delicious snack!
Stephen in the end: "I never had brain" ..Of course you have! You´re a comedy genius!
If it was a youtube show, there would have been so many exaggerated emotions, sounds and actions and gagging and whatnot...
Warning: Incoming angry vegans....
warning: incoming people who get really offended by trolls
Warning: Warnings
I haven't even seen one angry vegan comment.
well, a lot of these foods are hella sustainable.
I guess it is safe to say that Colbert isn't a vegan.
He's a DUMB LIBERAL who uses other DUMB LIBERALS to get rich...
@@motleybyron4997 and you are a dumb person period.
Steve is game for anything! Such a man’s man and good sport!
Maybe it's just me, but my mouth was watering at All of those dishes,
"That's possum!" hahaha Stephen is such a trooper
Takes me back to my childhood. No idea how often I had sheep brains fried in flour in sandwiches.
this stuff isn't that weird in countries and households where its usual for people to grow their own pigs, chickens, goats.. when I was a kid, I used to eat cooked pig's blood, chicken's heart and kidneys served in soup, people regularly eat the marrow from veal bones and I remember a dish with fried pig's brain and scrambled eggs
i love brain + eggs, but the doctor keeps warning me about the cholesterol and to not overdo it.
Stephen used the chopsticks the right way! 😁
Damn,I admire Stephen for eating these dishes.Most hosts would be squeamish about it and might not even go near it!! it's official, He's the best on television.
two of my favoret guys!
What the hell was that scream at 0:12 that lasted for like 20 seconds?
Sheep being tortured.
Vuvuzela, a plastic horn.
haha
Thanks for making me laugh so hard

Sounds kinda like haggis, with similar cultural implications too.
Very well written. Thanks for sharing.

Stephen, the perfect man.
Colbert is braver than me. He didn't bat an eye, till the opossum.
Blood sausage isn't weird at all , it's amazing.
My co-workers in New York still can't believe I ate chicken feet at a dim sum place. You have to open up your minds, people, not all food comes in a box.
Andrew Zimmern: What happens to the weird kid who use to eat weird stuff on the playground when he grows up.. Andrew Zimmern is AWESOME. One of the very few celebrities, along with Esteban Colberto, of course, I would love to meet.
Andrew is the coolest guy,very humble and funny.
Gotta love Andrew!!
Congratulations on staying sober Andrew zimmern!
And now we know the real reason zombies eat brains...they're delicious!
So thankful for Andrew for doing his part to destroy the stigma toward recovering addicts.
Picks up sheep skull: "I am so sorry." 😂😂😂
These guys are way cooler than that English guy who spits food out of his mouth in front of the person who cooked it.
Whos that?
Gordon "Fuck" Ramsay
whatho85 oh right right, hes an asshole
He holds his wine glass like someone who drinks Franzia.
He is so right. Sheep brain is indeed the most delicious food in the world.
Nothing goes to waste I love it!
stephen just breezes through all the food, not even a drink in between
Takes second spoon, "... made with possum"... "Oh it's made with possum!?" Hahahaha!
Love brain tacos, with a nice spicy red salsa.
love this dude and the segment
I'd honestly love to go to a thing where Andrew Zimmern catered. It'd be so awesome to try anything he brought.
Colbert & Zimmern, so cool
First and last time Colbert ever had a brain.
There's a bar in my country which name translate into "Ugly but delicious"
'The Long Pig,' that's needs to be a horror film title. If it isn't already. I didn't even check.
Colbert = class
I love Andrew!
I hear "Blood sausage" and my brain automatically goes "Hodor"
Rumor has it that an area of 10 square miles has to be evacuated whenever Andrew Zimmern takes a shit
Stephen must try BALUT next time.
i'd watch the shit out of "The Wandering Spoon"
In France, at school, we had sometimes sheep brains before the whole mad cow crisis of late 90's. I can tell you it tasted like shit
THEY WANTED HIM TO EAT FORESKIN!? THAT'S SO FUCKED UP!
BRAINS!!!!! YUM YUM CHOMP CHOMP
A taco on a soft corn tortilla 3/4 beef 1/4 beef brains is the very delicious.
let him eat surströmming!!!!!
its like fermented horse shit that was eaten by another horse and then shat out. And both of those horses had herpes.
+Shyam Dash well I'll admit it it's bad I've had it brought to.me from Sweden it's bad but I had worse my friend much worse
Man, Americans over-state the 'nastiness' of surströmming. Threw together a whole challenge over here in China after watching the videos... it's fine. It smells like fermented stuff and tastes like fish sauce. It's not my favorite but it's not some bizarre gross thing.
+mthmchris exactly it's not THAT bad it bad but I had worse
Oh, no... nothing is worse than *lutefisk*!
I would eat little of all and then ask him wtf did i just eat!!
Some doctor in the 60s ate human from a donor body, apparently it tastes like calf, but tougher.
not a single second of hesitation to eat brain, you are braver than i stephen
What kind of addiction? Never knew that.
Wow great host! He tried everything!!
Stephen is from South Carolina as he has no issues with eating crazy shit. My aunt tells me about eating racoon, oppusum and other crazy shit and she is from South Carolina.
Late show has a gravitas and sophistication that other late night shows lack but i suppose it doesnt help with ratings
"I love you and I miss you...."
Scream at 0:12 : wharrrrrrrrwwwaa
I can't believe Stephen didn't comment on the foreskin story!
land calamari lol
I wouldnt mind eating all that.
I have tried most all those foods, and Stephen had the same reactions to them I did haha. This was great. I still don't understand why people enjoy Tripe, though I can eat it if I am hungry enough or get combo pho. Does anyone here LOVE Tripe?
Stephen so classy
His name is Andrew Zimmerman not Zimmern
"I'be never had brains before." sounds like something, you woudn't want to admit, Stephen. :P
I love this guys show. I would give anything to be able to travel with him a little bit and try the foods that he does.
the foreskin story is horrifying ;_;
That seems perfectly mild compared to Rabbis sucking on little boys bleeding penises after circumcision and giving them herpes.
What a coincidence, I’m delicious too.
1:48, Foreskin munching.
He ate it alright!
Was he being sarcastic the whole time and Zimmerman buying all of it?
I doubt it. A good chef can make a lot of food taste really good!
And he's from Minnesota :-)
Stephen eats with gusto.
I dont normally like Colbert because he is obsessed with Trump; but appreciate he tried everything; respect!.
Stephen must have lead a sheltered life in NC. I'm from next door, Georgia, and my grandmama used to cook scrambled eggs with brains and a little tender young polk salad.
I have finished watching this video completely.

O man i fucking love tripes
Cannibalism. Wouldn't be surprised if he ate humans before
Congratulations andrew
It sounds like Zimmern is one of the few who will survive when the world comes to an end.
Some people eat placenta. I've seen people eat it on a cooking show. So he needs to cross that one off his list.
That is disgusting and canabalism
I wouldn't eat it myself, but some people do.
Steve27775 Thing is people do this in america which is take out the diffrent culture explanations
Garifuna's hudut👌👌
Very interesting.
This is how my life in Tokyo is like; eating broadly and deeply.
It's funny that all these people who talk about "sustainable farming" are also ok with throwing away 28% of a pig or a cow
Is it just me who thinks that raw meat looked really good... 🙄
Sokna Sim Raw meat tastes very good, but it's an acquired taste. In the Middle East, near the Levant, it's called Kibbeh nayyeh. It is raw lamb or beef topped with salt and oil and is usually eaten with bread. Very delicious but it has to be professionally prepared.
my spiritual beleifs keep me from eating brain. but I love me some andrew zimmern
Disgusting!
Im trying to control myself from vomiting, im serious, that is fucking disgusting
Just because he said what it was... that possum dish no one would ever guess it's practically roadkill.
nop just weird.
They moved pretty quickly past his comment about being open to eating people...
I grew up on this kind of brains and oven roasted veal/sheep heads food. the cheeks and brain are the most delicious
