Hard rock Cafe Beijing shared what i thought were nuts at the bar, the Swiss diplo who shared a birthday with me kindly explained they were fried silk worms, start of a memorable night.
In the siege of s they raided the zoo!
What oddities have you found?

I was hosted once by Belgian military.
Their butcher always maintained a stock of horse meat.
A Thai restaurant once advertised, Australian grass fed beef. The chewy consistency smacked of a scam. It could easily have passed for shoe leather!
My wife’s stepfather and his nephew invited me to sit down for a feed of something they described as a “tree raccoon.” I have no idea what in Thailand is a “tree raccoon” but I can report it tasted horrible even though my dining companions ate it up with gusto.
Some farmers I knew in Japan served up a bear that had been raiding their apple trees. It was terrible fatty stuff. Thought I would never get that film out of my mouth.
Up the Maekong River decades ago and hiked into a village on a trail in Laos. Just dirt everywhere and no vehicles except for a few motorbikes. A little shack served up BBQ squirrel taken live from cages and killed before your eyes so you knew it was fresh. Poor chippy. Good though. Made dancing shrimp seem like a regular dish.
Camel Burgers- actually very good
I’ve never had camel burgers, but I’ve had camel stew which was alright.
Not exactly food but at my father in laws funeral, I had a shot of Lao Khao with pigs bile put in it, nice!
How about camel toes?
I'm not keen on chicken's feet but I reckon camel toes would taste ok.
There’s only two things that smell of fish, and one of ‘em is fish!Quote:
