I've eaten some weird things over here. I can't even tell you what alot of it was. I've eaten grasshoppers and spiders. I've eaten chicken feet, and i had to pick the claws out of my teeth. I've eaten eyeballs of an unidentified animal. Chicken bladder kabobs...
Here in Vietnam they eat everything. Dogs, cats, snakes, frogs. They drink animal blood. In the market i saw a huge basket filled with hundreds of chicken heads, and a table piled high with pig faces. They peel the pig's face off, ears and all. mmm...pig face. gimme!
Today i went out walking around town with Anh, her sister An, and her other sister Anh ( i'm not making this up). Anh (the first one) pointed out a stall where a man was selling eggs. She said, "do you like duck egg?"? I said sure. Turns out there's a duck fetus in there. People crack it open, pour a little fish sauce on his head, and slurp him up. I don't think i'll be eating that.
I asked Anh what it tastes like. She said, "you ever have pig brain? Kinda like pig brain."
Oh.

i'm not surprised with that. because we Japanese sometimes eat whole of animals and some bugs, too. i like ears and feet of pigs. and i ate soft-shelled turtle (suppon) last weekend. we said yum! and we drank its bloods. don't say it sounds gross.
but i didn't want to eat that egg in vietnam, either. although it seems to taste good. pig brain? I've never eaten that.
woo
soft shelled turtle sounds great. I'll eat that. I'll drink some blood too, if there's money on the table....
