[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is one of the top rated restaurants in the WORLD, 3 Michelin Stars, Italy, I figured maybe this would be a menu to die for....look at this abomination of the sea floor's offerings as they scraped through the fish poop to find them!  What the heck is Sea bream!  Pigeon liver, what were they all out of Crow?  Menu:

Sea bream, green apple and celery

Oyster, caviar, turnip granita, buttermilk

Eggplant, almonds and tomatoes

Flavored saffron Spaghetti, sea urchin and crispy quinoa

Burnt sea bass, lettuce salad

Pigeon, peach, liver and Verjus sauce[/quote]

Sea bream is a fish. There are fish in the world besides salmon, trout, and tuna. Just because you are unfamiliar with it does not make it weird.

Tons of people eat sea urchin. Including in - gasp! - Asia. In Japan it's known as uni and is a very popular sushi item.

Pigeon is also not super uncommon - it's a fowl, like chicken, squab, quail, duck. You are just used to seeing it on city streets but in other countries they're raised for food. Or for racing - I knew a guy who raced homing pigeons.

Personally I too prefer lower-key restaurants. But nothing on the menu you quoted is weird. It isn't what I would pick, because it sounds uninteresting to me, and I happen not to care for uni or liver or caviar, so it would be wasted on me. But plenty of people do enjoy those things. Sorry OP, despite your travels, you come across as pedestrian and ill-informed. Additionally, don't forget to include the price of your airfare when you tote up all that cheap food in Thailand and China![/quote]
