Yuuuuuck. You guys will eat anything.
At one time it was traditional round these parts to eat offal called Tripe
and Elder. Bought wrapped in newspaper, from a Tripe stall at the local
market and boiled in milk or served raw with vinegar to taste. Sourced from
some unmentionable parts of a cows body and utterly loathsome to look at or
handle.
As a kid my parents tried to get me eat some and I still vividly remember
wretching after forcing some of this obscenity in my mouth.
It stuck with me. On business in other countries it was always a trial
dealing with whatever nighmare foodstuffs (delicacies!) the hosts could
come up with. Stuffed Goose throat, animal head parts, sea animals not out
of place in a science fiction film. Ugh!. Eventually figured that a
countries food directly relates to how close the population are to their
poor peasant roots. Gimme a lump of beef any day.
