"Squeezel?"..."Oh, Porcupine!" February 19, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am an unabashed fan of Tony Bourdain and "No Reservations." Truly, I think this guy will eat just about anything, and in Vietnam he gets seriously put to the test. The show features the indigenous cuisine of different cultures, and Bourdain has a knack, both in writing and onscreen, for examining different cuisines in an entertaining, amusing, and informative manner.
In Vietnam he visits some extraordinary locations, and meets some extraordinary people. Along the way he has some unbelievable food, from the very appealing, to the extremely unappealing. My favorite part of this episode is when they take Tony to a small structure in the middle of nowhere for him to try a type of woodland creature. Tony goes into the kitchen and nervously watches the proprietor hack the creature up with a huge cleaver. When asking his translator what kind of meat it was, the gentleman replied "It's a kind of squeezel." Neither Tony nor the audience can figure it out (the consensus would be "weasel" but who knows) until he has some soup made from the "squeezel" and quickly injures his palate on a sharp spine in the soup. He pulls a quill out of his mouth, and calmly says "Oh, porcupine." After having the rest of the porcupine soup, he is treated to some indigenous liquor from a jar with black detritus floating about, and the carcass of a dead bird in the bottom. Truly, I think this man has superhuman digestive abilities.
This is a great series: it's irreverent yet respectful, it is always entertaining and informative, and it beats having to eat the porcupine soup yourself. I highly recommend this show: the only episode better than this one is episode three, "Iceland." If you are interested in food or travel, this can't be beat, and I recommend the "Vietnam" and "Iceland" episodes as excellent introductions to the series.
