...flying fox in Bougainville,...

Fondue in Interlaken, surrounded by 3 coach loads of Japanese tourists who arrived just after sunset and will be leaving at 6:00am in the morning. :D

Balut in the Phillipines, dont ask unless you've got a strong stomach. ;) :D

Come on, let's have it. I'm sure my boggling mind can come up with something far worse than the truth :eek: Anyone with a delicate consitution, look the other way ;)

Fertilised duck egg, incubated for 10 -11 days and then boiled. You eat half egg half duckling. :eek: Took me about 6 months to try my first one and even then I had to be p1ssed. :D

We used to get them ocassionally from the chooks. Never ate one though :eek:

Whole hatchlings - eaten cold, cooked just enough to resemble road kill- Wuxi

Beche de Mer Sashimi - Tanagashima

Fugu - Tatashena

But my very favourite, a misplaced cuisine in China, Peking Duck (complete with Pancakes) - Shanghai!!

P :rolleyes:

I'll be fugud before I'll ever eat fugu. That stuff kills people every year despite the expert preparation. :eek:

My hosts assured me that:

1) I wouldn't get sick. I'd simply die.
2) If I died the chef would lose his license and his family would not be happy.


I didn't die, but it probably explains a few things......

Could do .... Could do... :D

Remember that episode of The Simpsons where Homer orders Fugu at a Japanese restaurant? The head chef has to leave for an, err, appointment and he leaves the apprentice in charge, not suspecting someone will order Fugu. The apprentice gets out the cookbook and there's a picture of the fish with areas marked out with dotted lines and skull and crossbones. He points to each area and says "Poison.... poison.... poison... tasty fish!" It's about the size of his thumb. Probably not far from the truth. I wouldn't eat the stuff.

Curried Iguana aint bad when theres bugger all else.;)

If you want to eat some really interesting critters, go to Vietnam. Scorpions, rats, dogs, monkey, frog (whole), lizards. Basically anything that moves is fair game.
