The Chew is a talk-show that airs on ABC and is geared towards providing the audience with the latest food and lifestyle trends. The show's sixth season, episode 25, is named Adventurous Eats, and it features hosts Carla Hall, Clinton Kelly, and Michael Symon, as they explore the world of exotic and unusual cuisine.

The episode starts with Carla providing a rundown of the world's unique and daring dishes. She mentions that the foods presented in the show will challenge the hosts' taste buds and push them out of their comfort zones. Clinton and Michael look visibly nervous as they anticipate the upcoming dishes.

The first dish presented in the show is a delicacy from Sweden, called Surströmming. Carla explains that Surströmming consists of fermented herring, which has been soaked in brine for nearly a year before being served. The smell of fermented herring is so pungent that it's been known to cause nausea and vomiting in many people. Michael is apprehensive, but Clinton jumps right in and takes a bite. The audience feels a surge of laughter as Clinton struggles to keep the dish down.

The second dish presented in the show is Escamoles, a dish from Mexico that is made out of Ant larvae. Clinton, who took the first bite of Surströmming, looks less than thrilled to try Escamoles. Carla jokes that the dish tastes like Pine nuts and Michael agrees, saying the flavor is surprisingly delicious. Clinton is the last to take a bite, and he looks visibly relieved when he realizes that the taste is not as bad as he anticipated.

The third dish presented is called Fugu, a Japanese delicacy that is considered to be one of the most dangerous foods in the world. Fugu is prepared from the deadly pufferfish, and eating the dish can be life-threatening if not prepared correctly. Carla shows the audience the Fugu, which is presented in a delicate sashimi style. Michael explains that there is a risk associated with consuming the dish and that untrained chefs cannot attempt to prepare the dish. The hosts are apprehensive but decide to take a bite. The audience holds their breaths as they see how the hosts handle the dish.

The episode culminates with Carla, Clinton, and Michael tasting Balut, a Filipino delicacy made from developing bird embryos that are boiled alive inside their eggshells. The dish looks like a regular hard-boiled egg, but when opened, the contents are revealed to be quite startling. Carla takes a bite and is pleasantly surprised, but Clinton and Michael look less than thrilled.

In conclusion, the episode Adventurous Eats provides the audience with an exciting and unique experience as they watch the hosts explore the world of daring and exotic cuisine. The dishes presented in the show challenge the hosts' taste buds and provide them with an opportunity to push themselves out of their comfort zones. The show is witty and provides for some hilarious moments as the hosts deal with the unusual flavors. The episode makes for a highly entertaining watch.
