You had you some horse?! BRAVE! The weirdest thing I've eaten was, in the same sitting, but different courses, lamb brain and lamb testicle. Both tasted, felt and, yes, popped, exactly as you would think. NO MORE PLEASE! That Gyoza looked delish! I'm betting the food out there has 1,000% more overall flavor than food in even the finest Japanese restaurants out here. Oui ou non? Holy WHAT? You had you some horse?! BRAVE!

So it was at a Chinese wedding banquet, where they pull out all the stops. And this ain't no Americanized shit, either. There were 10 dishes, all more extravagant than the last, but semi-mundane: abalone, whole baby octupuses (boo), goose feet, shark fin soup, and the like. The menu was on each table, translated into English for, basically, our table (the only white people table out of 18). The only thing that wasn't completely translated was the last dish. It said Harsmar with red dates. None of us knew what it meant. My boss said that they had something like that near his house, and it mean "snow frog" or something like that. I figured it was just a colloquialism. Really, it just seemed like a sweet, loose pudding. I didn't eat very much because I was stuffed to the gills. Trevor and I looked it up the next day, laying in bed. It was dead silent in my apartment for about five minutes. DEAD SILENT. And then we spent the rest of the next day telling EVERYONE WE KNEW what we had done. Ahahahaha I was going to check here again and I forgot.

I've eaten shark, snails, alligator, chicken feet, squirrel, and ostrich. I think there's other weirdo things, I just can't come up with them at the moment. Gator is actually really amazing and not tough at all if it's cooked properly). It's got a consistency similar to tender pork or (and I hate to say it) fully-cooked chicken. I had it cooked in a creamy sauce on top of (real not Cream of Wheat-style) grits down in New Orleans. I'm drooling just thinking about it! /laughs: Alrighty!
