Leonard,

Thanks

It was Al Di La.

In response to Howling Rabbit...

With all due respect, I wasn't trying to be "creepy" I just tried to take part of what another culture considers normal. Just because you don't considerate it part of your daily routine don't just assume your right.

Oyster sushi.

blech!

Another form of protein, huh...
What about human beings? You could look at eating them in the same way.
Jeez, what a creep this guy is.

I lived in Asia for a year & I have also eaten dog in the South of China, in which you were able to go back into the yard & choose which dog you would like... a bit strange but I as Tom has said you have to just think of it as another form of protein.

Also ate scorpions.

tripe was the worst, in France.

For me, broccoli is adventurous.

But my girlfriend LOVES to try new things. We went to a Chinese restaurant in Hartsdale, and Luise spotted "Duck Tongue" on the menu. The Maitre d' explained that in China they are sold in bags outside movie theaters, and people eat them like popcorn.

When the waiter brought her dish, he said with a big smile, "No more quack quack! No more quack quack!"

I did try one, a small, crooked piece of meat, not too tasty, tough like bland beef jerky.

The most "strange" thing I've ever eaten was a grileld kangaroo kebob, i prepated myself at a hostel in the Australian Outback
