I have an Asian parent and a European parent and have eaten many interesting things in my life: haggis, snails, frog's legs, horse meat, various game, braised eel, fish still alive, whale, angel hair with fish eggs, the whole roast piglet served at Viet weddings, pungent Durian ice cream, etc. Long ago, my mother was invited to my father's Asian country, and to honor her Western origins, she was served soft-boiled eggs... and chopsticks to eat them with.

Anyway. I really came on here to add to a poster's tuna pizza comment: that I LOVE canned tuna on pizza!!! In a few European countries, that's perfectly appropriate as a topping.

Interesting, but…live fish? How does that work? How was the durian ice cream?[/quote]

PP you replied to. Like another poster described, taken live, prepared and put on your plate still moving in its death throes, poor fish. The durian ice cream was good! The whale was too fatty. Insects and maggots - I don't care how good they taste, it's hard to get past the visual. I've never been able to try that Corsican cheese with tiny live maggots in it: it's illegal these days, but if you ask around the island, someone will give you a taste. They have it in Sardinia also.

I have eaten the cheese with the maggots.  It is an acquired taste.  When did it become illegal?  It was probably back in the 1970s or early 1980s when I had it.  I have had monkey brain soup around that time.  It was not my favorite, either.

The grossest thing I ever saw, and I drew the line at is, was live smelt pulled straight from the creek and eaten there.  I am fine with catching them, putting them in breading and frying them, but live was a no go for me.[/quote]
