Good grief. I was proud of having an eaten a raw ethopian scotch bonnet seeds and all... but that is just lunacy.

I went for a walk in Shanghai at 6 in the morning . I had breakfast in a local place.
I had meat something. Tasty but now knowing a bit more about what they eat in China I shudder to think what it was

Ha, no. I have a determination to eat everything (and yes you can tell by looking at me:pac:) but also I get a weird sense of pride eating things that kill humans. I am therefore very much into eating snake and tarantula as soon as I can.

Feisar

Food in Chatuchak Market in Thailand, stuff sitting out in the boiling sun.

My wife used to laugh at me, I'd brush my teeth with bottled water to avoid the shítes but eat any crap on the side of the road.

The actual liver of a Cod ( well a portion of anyway).

Well, I don't know anyone who eats snakes, so if I ate snake then I'd know.

I usually find some creme fraiche takes the edge off the bitterness.

I'm an arachnaphobe and have this weird irrational fear of accidentally eating a spider. I actually feel nauseous typing that. I'm afraid of you.

It was the white asparagus that piqued my interest more so than more exotic items, I think I had it once or twice but not here. Does it have the wonderful side effect of it's green cousin?
