Re: [silk] What's the strangest thing you've eaten?
Ask for vegetarian food in South Korea without an interpreter's help, and I guarantee that you will see some very strange 'food'. For a couple of days back in 2003, I had breakfast in Seoul by wandering around the streets and pointing at stuff in the carts. I had no way of knowing what it was or if I got the right change back, but it was fun nevertheless. I guess it's different as we're not used to it. When I was first in India and knew no Hindi or Marathi I used to point at stuff in the stalls and hope for the best handing over my money and letting the guy take whatever he wanted from my hand. One time in Pune I had bought something from a stall on one of my wanderings and then a few days later watched as the wallah washed the pots and pans in a dirty brown puddle. It didn't stop me going back... My colleagues thought me quite mad. I used to go to The Ship in Pune every Sunday and order steak. This became a regular occurrence over many months. When I mentioned this was one of the places I could get beef he said 'Oh no sar, it's not beef'... I never did find out what it was. There was little place I used to go to and have sheep's brains. The spices overwhelmed any taste I was getting from the brain though. And of course, being Scottish I eat haggis every January. Keith

Bulls' testicles, AFAIK, and confirmed recently by a guy who grew up on a farm where they were 'harvested'. By the time of cooking, let alone eating, they're steer's testicles. I believe not even Chuck Norris eats bull's testicles. Carbonated drink made from lacto-serum, the transparent liquid that remains after you've taken all the fat and protein out of the milk. Lacto-serum is, in other words, what remains after making cheese. Therefore, eating cheese and drinking rivella reconstitutes, in principle, the original milk; however, the shelf life (and transportability) of the former two is vastly superior to that of the latter. -Dave :: :: :: God appears one day to a swiss farmer, Jakob Püür.

Eating badly cooked squid or snails doesnt really help form a judgement They can both be very tasty indeed. They're chewy yes - and they're tasteless but a wonderful sponge for any flavor that gets added to them And snails should be steamed and brushed with melted butter, not fried. If that curd rice of yours had been made with less than well cooked rice, or stale rice lying for a day in the fridge, and curd that's starting to go sour, you'd hate curd rice as well, eh?

The strangest thing I've eaten in the last week would probably be a hot pot that contained both chicken feet and sea cucumber/sea slug. Though maybe it would be the dessert degustation that had white bean paste, barley, and rose water sugar floss. (It also had freeze dried ice cream but that isn't SO weird.) Or maybe it would be the three flavor crispy fish snack that had dried glass fish, sugar, chilis, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass? It's hard to say. That's just in the last week. Or I could say which of other peoples's lists I *haven't* eaten. I have not eaten Mahesh's ex-girlfriend as far as I know. Don't know what a mopane worm is so I probably haven't eaten it, though I've eaten other grubs and caterpillars. All the others I've eaten and for the most part I've enjoyed. Salmiak is pretty odd but essential to good dutch salty liquorice! Other odd things from my culinary adventures, cod milt [sperm] (shirako), duck testicles, coxcomb, a whole lamb's head including tongue, brains, and eyeballs. Haven't had casu marzu yet but it's on the list. Also haven't had ortolan but have no real desire.

The folks in Kangding were ethnically TIbetan; in my experience they have very different eating habits than Han. For example - if we have Chinese visitors here in Boston they often want to eat at a Chinese restaurant (and they will be very picky) but Tibetans want to try everything (ribs joints, mexican food, .. ) just to try something different. But I don't think it's hard to make a Han Chinese queasy. When I was taking Sunday Mandarin classes the school would have potluck dinners and I would make recipes from Fuchsia Dunlop's Land of Plenty sichuan cookbook. I would get complements from other caucasian parents but rarely could I get any of the instructors to even try what I had made because the texture would be 'wrong'. I'm sure that I hadn't cut the vegetables correctly or the wok I used couldn't get to a high enough temperature (I have an electric stove) so I cooked for longer than was specified in the recipe. Trying to get feedback was comically impossible. I don't think they were being difficult - I think it was a real visceral reaction to food that was fresh from the uncanny valley :-).
