In the second, seafood-themed episode of the MUNCHIES Guide to the Basque Country, Irene has the unusual privilege of eating the animal with the largest penis relative to body size: the goose barnacle, or Devil’s Finger. She’ll get over her fear of prawns in time to chomp on a live one, and is rewarded with a taste of the best turbot in the world at Michelin-starred grill restaurant Elkano.
In the Munchies Guide to the Basque Country, host Irene Peralta explores the culinary offerings of one of the world’s greatest food destinations. With over 40 Michelin-starred restaurants serving a population the size of Bucharest, the passion for gastronomy here is tangible. They’re as proud here of their home cooks as they are of their celebrity chefs, and MUNCHIES is here to discover Basque cuisine in all its strange and delicious forms—from crystallized fish scales to hake chin jelly, it promises to be a real treat.
