[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something in aspic.
Geoduck (I can't get over its similarity to a certain body part, but it's also hard to find in these parts)

[b]My dream is to go to Singapore or certain Chinese cities and eat copious amounts of street vendor food with total disregard for a) what I am actually eating and b) possible health code violations.

Also to the person afraid of couscous, are you thinking of Israeli couscous?  It's bigger than typical couscous, little firm balls instead of tiny grains.  I think Israeli couscous is better than the regular stuff, and has a wonderful texture.  But like regular couscous, it doesn't have much flavor on its own.

:lol:

Me too. I swoon when they show those fabulous street markets on cooking shows.[/quote]

you  might want to add c) the parasites you will inevitably pick up.  I speak from experience.  But they have still been some of the best experiences of my life![/quote]

Singapore has pretty strict codes, so I wouldn't worry about getting sick there any more than I do here. The main food market there is one of the cleanest I've seen, cleaner than a lot of ethnic markets here that sell a lot of fresh fish and meat alongside fruit & veg.
OP - you have to try Ethiopian in DC! Go to Habesha Market, it looks like a deli but it's where all the Ethiopians eat.

As for me, I went vegetarian 10 years ago and there are definitely some food items I wish I'd tried before giving up fish and meat. Jamon iberrico, Stone crabs, Foie Gras to name a few. It's purely out of interest in food, though, I don't ever feel cravings for fish/ meat. As for other stuff that I can eat, I'm longing to travel to Brazil some day and gorge myself on all their amazing tropical fruit.[/quote]
