Andrew Zimern is the host of a show called Bizarre Foods which airs on the Travel Channel.  The show features Andrew sampling the strangest culinary delights that a country has to offer.  He decided to visit Nicaragua and sample some of our tastiest morsels.

Nicaraguan cuisine is varied in the different regions of the country.  Andrew samples a good mix of food from Matagalpa, Bluefields, Masaya, and Granada.   Unfortunately, he didn’t make it to San Juan del Sur. In the show he talks about how friendly and outgoing the people of Nicaragua are paints a beautiful picture of the country and it’s rich menu.  He certainly eats some of the strange dinner options we have in Nicaragua including: iguana, boa, armadillo, bull’s testicles and cheese with worms.

More than anything the show brings exposure to Nicaragua and brings Nicaraguan culture into the living room of millions of viewers around the world.
