Tommy, Just make sure it's a pet bull. c.i.
patiodog, fermented fish - did you ever read "King Rat". You may dig the stuff up all over the orient. Nuk Mam, oriental fish sauce - from fermented fish.
c.i., you must have run into durian during one of your travels.
King Rat i consider to be Clavell's best work . . . and one of those rare occassions when a movie was made from a book which did justice to the original . . . of course, i wouldn't care to gourmandize with that crew . . .
Setanta, when I mention "King Rat", if you remember one time when he broke out of the compound and when someplace, they dug up a delicacy to eat - that was fermented fish, or was it fermented eggs, or was it 100 years old fermented eggs. Oh, rats, now I forget!
I forget as well, but i do remember that he moved in and out of the Changi Road prison with a fair facility, because he had "gone native" before "Rabbit" Perceval surrendered to the Japanese . . .
BillW, My trip to SE Asia was back in early 1995, and I probably did run into durian, but I've forgotten. I'm familiar with star fruit and pamalo, because I've tasted them. Also, when we visited the Rain Forest in Australia, we visited an interesting private property of a young couple who created their own paradise on 30 acres of open land. The guys from New York, and he's the only one in Australia who can import plants from around the world into Australia. Our tour group was guests for dinner at his ranch, and he served some very unusual tropical fruits that most people have never seen. I took some photos, but don't know where they are. If any of you plan to visit that part of Australia, you should make it a point to visit his ranch. c.i.
Haggis (sheeps stomach).
Myself having a weak stomach cannot do the Fear Factor because I would barf all over Joe Rogan and environs at the sight of chocolate-covered crickets, monkeys brains, sheeps eyes, buffalo testicles, or what-not.
I have tried a variety of foods but you gotta NOT tell me what it is before I eat it.
I'm gonna stick with the stuff i love, and know will kill me with kindness--meatball subs, pasta in butter, pork chops--you know, good ol' 'Merican food . . .
(gotta go find those overdue library book so's to trade them in now...)
So I just noticed that (and now I'm going to mess it up by posting this - so sue me), when you look at "View topics with posts since your last visit", this thread is directly above "Cannibal snacks on human body".
Coincidence? I think not!
jespah, YOu sure know how to mess up a good appetite!
c.i.
Hmm, I wonder what pureed baby tastes like!
the other, other white meat
gobble, gobble, slurp, slurp . . . hmmmm . . . tastes like chicken . . .
Our cannibal friends started with flambe'd male genitalia apparently.
(Shared between host and guest/donor, how sweet-bread)
It is reported that those persons in central Africa who are put on the block to be auctioned off as food take great pride in fetching a high bid . . . can't speak to the reliability of that information, read it in some damned novel . . .
Setanta, The fact of the matter is that Fijians practiced caniballism as recently as a century ago. When we were in Fiji a few years ago, the native Fijians served us kava drinks - as much as we wanted. I didn't understand for what purpose until now.
c.i.
Damn, Son, what's that behind yer back there . . . that's a meat thermometer, ain't it . . .
The Kalimatan(eses, ites, ians) are suppose to have started eating Javanese after the Indonesian government kept transmigrating them over there. If you look it up, Kalimantan is Borneo - one of the last places on earth and apparently still a hot bed for human cuisine. I dated a Batak(ese, ite, ian) and a Dyak for a long time, well, ain't gonna go there.
