He heads out to Saigon where he eats the still-beating heart of a live cobra, and travels deep into landmined Khmer Rouge territory to find the rumoured Wild West of Cambodia. Other stops include dining with gangsters in Russia, a medieval pig slaughter in northern Portugal, and a return to his roots in the tiny fishing village of La Treste, where he first ate an oyster as a child.
