Pig Brains and Egg omelets at Nichols in Kansas City, MO. Back in the band days when we did gigs in K.C., it was a ritual to have pig brains and eggs after the show with our K.C. buddies...

Mongolia: the delicacy is sheep eyes in broth. Also they have you drink very strong tea with stale butter. The beauty of the beast is that you are expected to belch loudly as a sign of satisfaction after eating. Not eating is very uncultured and offensive to your hosts.

I also like the fact that due to a natural lack of trees their yurta's (their funny mobile huts) are heating with dried manure. It's warm at night though.

In many of the Pacific Islands, not eating is also considered an offense.

Long time ago we were with a research ship down at the regions of Papua New Guinea and called in to this small lagoon. We were invited by village chief for traditional meal and the captain, that had a very weak stomach was seated alongside the chief. We had beautiful dinner of fish, and naturally the chief and the captain were served the best parts, which in this case amounted to fish heads served on palm leaves.

The fish was accompanied by communal serving of this lightly intoxicating brew, that the local ladies did by chewing a root and spitting the result into fermenting bowl.

No offense made, captain ate what was served, but was rather shallow in complexion for the remaining part of the night.

There was this other time I was in a rural village
someplace close to main Island of Fizi. We had a pork roast during the evening and everyone was eating with these beautifully carved wooden forks that had four spikes. I was given one as a present.

A day later we called into the main Island and I took shore leave to do some snooping around, arriving to local tourist souvenir store. Those same king of forks were sold there as traditional cannibal forks.....
I was happy I had seen the pig we ate the previous night.... it was not a long one.:P

The yanomami's in the amazon do exactly the same thing. Create this alcoholic drink from fermenting spit of yuca chewed by the whole community most likely. yet if you are hungry anything is fair to eat.

True, its funny how the buttox is always seems to "swing" its way in all threads. Sometimes its just not applicable. Sad really, since its such a great topic.:D

When I first arrived in China, my tour group was in a restaurant eating some appetizers before dinner. I asked the Chinese-speaking man next to me what I was eating. He said "It's pork." Not bad, I thought. Then his wife said something to him in Chinese. He turned to me and said "Pork Colon". That was my last bite.

On the same trip, I spent some time with friends that live in China. They loved cold chicken feet instead of salad. I tried just one...
There are battered women? I've been eating 'em plain all of these years...

Chicken feet are kind of nice though, unusual but rather tasty.

Now how about kimchi. There must be a number of ex Korean hands around.

I was first introduced to it in mid 80s. I was a member in Scandinavian marine delegation to South Korea and according to Korean fashion we were taken very well care off. We were visiting various yards and production plants around the peninsula, but apparently there was a bit of coordination mishap as far as the lunches went.

Every place we visited served kimchi with something nice like dog meet. Kimchi is a national dish and a bit like sourkrout. However, the fermenting process is started in various ways, including placement of row crabs into the basic ingredients. Now when the crabs start going sour.. the fermentation process gets underway.Resulting taste and smell are interesting... to put it lightly.

There was this skinny swedish nerd with our group. He had struggled with the food the entire trip, having had horrible fights with chopstics etc. I always remember this chap on day five, having a look at his plate and mumbling.... no... no.... more of this cat shit.... and there was only one week more to go.

Well, having told the above, I must say that Korean cuisine in general is beautiful. It is just the multiple variations of kimchi that are served with everything that now and then get the traveler.
