To eat foreskin, or not to eat foreskin...
​On tomorrow night's episode of Bizarre Foods, Minnesota local Andrew Zimmern travels to Madagascar, where he is forced to ask himself, "Would I eat human flesh?"

He and his wife are honored guests at the ritual circumcision of a five-year-old boy. Traditionally, the paternal grandfather eats the foreskin, after it's been snipped, with a side of banana (seriously). However, the grandfather can pass the foreskin to an honored guest, in this case the beloved Minnesota foodie himself.

Watch what happens.

Zimmern's account of his latest adventure on the Huffington Post gives the cultural and social context of the bizarre food ritual captured in the video below.

It's probably not the first foreskin that's been in his mouth...

I did watch the video - It's a little less exciting than Zimmern's account in the HuffPo blog. He builds up the story like the grandfather is going to offer the foreskin to HIM! You are right, the video is a little less exciting :-P
