Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
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. In Episode 1, -Old and New, - Irene starts with a traditional feast at one of San Sebastian-s most historic gastronomic societies: Txokos, a Basque institution for hundreds of years. Then she zooms into the 21st century to meet gastronaut Eneko Atxa, three-star-Michelin chef-patron of ultra-sustainable restaurant Azurmendi, visiting his Willy-Wonka-style lab, kitchen, and greenhouse.

at 0: 50 you state -the Basque Country is an autonomous region in northern Spain-. No, it is not! I think you meant Euskadi/Euskal Autonomia Erkidogea/Vasque Autonomous Region. The image displayed is Euskal Herria, the so called Basque Country greater region! Nafarroa is NOT in the Basque region! And then all the BS stated from 01: 00 til 01: 20? Ask around in Lapurdi, Beherea, or Zuberoa about brutally suppressed rights. Oh, I forgot, that's France, they're not meant to that there, isn't? Of course, that's why Basque language is official and recognized in France (jokes. Sad, very sad this display of bias ignorance. In any case, gora Euskadi, their food is awesome.

-. since 1870. before anything existed in the Basque Country or in Spain---LMAO. Have you ever picked up a book on history? Or european history? Spain is one of the oldest nations in Europe! --Vice, you chose an illiterate and biased presenter who just can't be profesional enough to inform herself or be objective about a topic. --It's a shame you completely invalidated an otherwise very informative and valid documentary about the Basque Country's identity. --Well done, Irene, I hope you're happy.

More than any other place I have seen on Munchies, I would love to visit Azurmendi. The beauty and the delicacies would probably overwhelm me. I was almost in tears from seeing just the small part of this place they showcased. It gives me hope that maybe someday we (humans) will be able to live off of the earth without sacrificing our inventiveness and imagination.

6: 25 Welcome to the world's most sustainable restaurant, which is also part winery, part science lab, and part greenhouse! In the Basque Country of Spain, Eneko Atxa and his friends have created a completely remote controlled garden to feed their guests.

Wonderful series! A good reflection on many aspects of our culture. Many might not understand the emphasis on politics in here, but the issue of basque identity has simply seeped into our everyday life. Cheers from Bilbao (Biscay!

This is what I want to see more of. A breakdown of culture through food culture and food/science stuff interwoven with it. Among the best if not the best series on here so far, and this is only part 1. -: D

Canadian here. Just wondering why the Spanish people are hating the Basque people or whatever in the comments. Is there a different accent that they speak? Just curious is all.

I dont feel her passion for food at all. Shouldnt there be some passion with a host of a food show? The topic is so interessting, but tasting the food with empty eyes is killing it.

Send action Bronson here not this girl who-s as entertaining as watching paint dry it really takes the air out of this really interesting place in the world of culinary arts

The host is very annoying. Can she be put behind a desk and we find some one with more character to host what could be a great series.
