No, it's not a horror flick or a gross movie of sorts. Here's the overview off the backside cover this DVD.

Amongst the many timeless mountain tribes in the southwestern corner of China, people live in symbiotic harmony with an opulent natural environment, where food is collected whenever it is needed. As a result, rodents, reptiles, and insects are deliciously prepared and consumed as part of the tribes' natural diet. "Eating The Uneatable" is a fascinating chronicle of the people and the food they eat. From assorted worms to deep fried cicadas, "Eating The Uneatable" is one unforgettable journey into the culinary of the absurd!
I was at Tower Records the other day looking to buy some animes when this DVD caught my eye and curiousity made me want to buy it!:eek: A good friend of mine is currently taking culinary courses so I thought that that this would be an interesting birthday gift for her. I sometimes wondered what people ate in other countries if they didn't have cheeseburgers and fries. If you have a strong stomach, here's the front (http://www.dvdlister.com/picture.dvd/9af8dY9a5c3q2b4e1fT/2/) and back (http://www.dvdlister.com/picture.dvd/1cc8bx1c2c1r236b1dT/3/) cover. Don't worry it's not that bad.;) I was impressed by the crisp video quality. It was like one of those HD demos that you see at some electronic department stores used for promotions.

If you had ever been to a sausage factory or had any idea how they prepare those industrial hamburgers you probably wouldn't think of eating rat or worms as disgussing...

maybe we should start a new thread about what is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten....

When I was around 6 or 7 and lived in the country, I liked to eat cow ration. You would be surprised how little diferent it is from Kellog's All Bran.
That and soil fertilizer too. Phosphates I think. It's a bit like eating salt, the flavour is a diferent however.

Not very hard to beat!
