In season 6, episode 7 of Bizarre Foods: Delicious Destinations, Andrew Zimmern takes us on a culinary adventure through the capital city of Wales, Cardiff. Known for its rich history and culture, Cardiff is home to some of the most unique and delicious dishes in the world.
Andrew begins his journey at the Cardiff Central Market, a bustling hub of food vendors selling everything from fresh seafood to local cheeses. Here, he tries a classic Welsh dish, the Glamorgan sausage. Made from a mixture of breadcrumbs, cheese, and leeks, this vegetarian sausage is a staple in Welsh cuisine.
Next, Andrew heads to Cafe Citta, a popular Italian restaurant in the heart of Cardiff. Here, he samples the restaurant's famous squid ink pasta. This dark and flavorful dish is made with fresh pasta, squid ink, garlic, and chili flakes, and is a favorite among locals and tourists alike.
Moving on, Andrew visits The Potted Pig, a restaurant housed in a former bank vault. Here, he tries the restaurant's signature dish, the crispy pigs' ears. These crunchy and flavorful snacks are served with a smoked paprika mayo and are a must-try for any food lover in Cardiff.
Continuing on his culinary journey, Andrew visits Pettigrew Tearooms, a charming tea room located in the walls of Cardiff Castle. Here, he tries the Welsh rarebit, a beloved dish made with toasted bread, a thick cheddar cheese sauce, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce.
Andrew's next stop is The Clink, a restaurant located inside Cardiff Prison. Here, he meets the inmates who work in the restaurant and tries some of their locally-sourced, seasonal dishes. The highlight of the meal is the braised lamb shoulder, which is cooked for hours until it falls off the bone.
Finally, Andrew visits Science Cream, a unique ice cream parlor where all the ice cream is made using liquid nitrogen. Here, he tries the "Cardiff Mess," a twist on the classic Eton Mess. Made with fresh berries, meringue, and a dollop of the shop's signature liquid nitrogen ice cream, this dessert is a perfect end to Andrew's journey through Cardiff.
Throughout the episode, Andrew showcases the city's thriving food scene and meets the talented chefs and restaurateurs who are putting Cardiff on the map as a must-visit destination for food lovers.
