An Exotic Snack Bar

[More snacks here.]

“If you don’t eat yer snails, you can’t have any urchins! How can you have any urchins if you don’t eat yer snails?!”

I’m not too squeamish, but some foods require blinders for us westerners. I’ve heard that the rule of thumb when dining in Asia is never ask what it is, just eat it. (Also remember that “Asian food” is just called “food” by the locals.)

Of course it works both ways.  There are a lot of people who are repulsed by fermented and clotted mammalian lactations, yet they’ll drool at a plate of stir-fried rat feet dipped in squid ink with wood grubs.

So as we all sit here sifting our memories for the most disgusting stuff we’ve ever introduced to our gastrointestinal tracts, let’s pass around a big ‘ol honkin’ platter of deep fried WTF on The Overnight Open Thread.

We're not easily offended and don't want people to think they have to walk on eggshells around here (like at another place that shall remain nameless) but of course, there is a limit to everything.

Play nice!
