In the
Anthony Bourdain video, Anthony traveled around a lot of different areas in
Chile. He went to coastal cities,
Santiago, and a city in the fertile wine region of Chile. He went to fresh markets, many restaurants,
as well as tiny little shops. He ate
snack foods, deserts, drank a lot of wine and beer, and tried many different
dishes.
He explored
many different places to try and show the viewers a variety of dishes. There are different types of food in the
different regions that are popular. He
included a lot of variety that is very helpful.
He liked all of the dishes he tried and the food looked amazing. It was all very fresh and well prepared.
There was a
lot of meat used in the dishes. Pork was
very popular which I did not know was popular there. They had a dish where they ate a cow
hoof. I did not know that you could eat
that or that it would even taste good. I
loved that they had markets to buy your food from. Also, the seafood looked amazing. I was almost drooling in the video. I love seafood and knowing that it is all
fresh in Chile is absolutely amazing! Also, alcohol seemed very popular to have with
every meal. I think it’s so interesting
how much other countries drink. The
pisco sour drink looked really good I definitely want to try that! I thought the whole ‘coffee with legs
phenomena’ was really weird, as Anthony pointed out. Women are being objectified while a customer
enjoys a cup of coffee? I don’t understand
it at all and I think it’s very strange.
I’m looking
forward to trying all of the fresh seafood in Chile! Honestly, almost every single dish he ate I
wanted! Besides the hermit crabs and
hoof soup. I will practically eat anything
but not if it is still moving or is a very strange part of an animal. As long as the dish looks good I’m open to
practically anything! Although, I do not
like mayonnaise and it was disappointing to see how much of it they use!
If my host
family offers me food that I don’t find appealing, I think I would just
apologize and say “no thank you”. I
would just explain that I don’t like it.
Like I said, I’m pretty much open to anything though, so hopefully that
won’t be a problem!
How did you see the Bourdain video? It won't open for me.
ReplyDeleteI emailed Dr. Rojas and she fixed the link because it did not work!
DeleteI thought the same thing about the coffee shop. I just came here for the coffee, not the objectification of women!
ReplyDeleteWendy, I thought the same thing about the cow hoof! I have no idea how that would taste or what the texture would be like. With that being said, I feel like out of curiosity I'd want to try it, but at the same time I am not sure if I'd get myself to go through with it! :/
ReplyDeleteThe cow hoof sounds awful haha! Definitely was a surprise to me but so did a lot of their dishes so it will be something I'm sure we will all get used to.
ReplyDeleteI was also surprised by the cow hoof! I'm open to trying it, but the idea of it doesn't sound very appealing! The most interesting part for me was the coffee with legs also! It is a very different coffee "environment" than we experience here in America!
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought the coffee with legs was really weird, but then I remembered that we do similar things in the US. We have Hooters where you can get bomb wings, but the uniforms are revealing for the employees. The main question I had about that was how those women can work in high heels all day and still have feeling in their feet.
