Nope, you don't want to know what durian is. But I'm going to tell you anyway because I'm like that. It's a highly prized tropical fruit that smells like rotting meat. You either love it or loathe it.
The word verif is sxfuc. Appropriate, for a food porn post.
I think it's time for another trip to Japan.
naaah its actually from quebec, canada. people here are so proud of this dish, but to me, it's a heart attack in training!
and pho? never had it?
it's a soup from vietnam, very tasty. they eat it all the time there, even for breakfast and they have these by the road soup shops all over the place.
also absinth isnt very dangerous. it was considered so because it made people who drank it act irrationnaly (supposedly) but the only thing about it is that it contains more alcohol than a lot of hard liquors hence the people getting balled on it faster ;)
the substance they add in it (wormwood extract or actual parts of the plant) was linked to hallucinations but for this substance to cause any, you would have to drink more than the lethal dose of absinth..
they are actually starting to make some and bringing it back to the market. very popular with the new 'dandy' wave of hipsters ;)

I used to have a job cooking for a German couple.
Hostess Fruit Pies just gave me a vivid memory of high school marching band practice. There was a small old-fashioned neighborhood store between the school and the football field. We would stop for snacks and huge bags of penny candy on the way.
Most of the stuff on that list made my stomach roll over a few times.
Did you have Goulash at the Russian Tea room, or stroganoff?

I tried things at that wedding that most Chinese-Americans won't even eat!
Spaetzle are also VERY common in Sud Tirol (Trentino ALto Adige, @ the border wiht Austria) and are yummy.
Pistachio icea cream is a MUST here, as you all know.
My brother used to dive, pick sea urchins, sprinkle a lemon over and eat it right out of the sea. Fond memories about it too.
And I was expecting that horrific no.100- CANNOT believe it.
Kudos to K for the fugu though!

snake is actually quite tasty. white meat. kinda like chicken. they make a great soup with that.
ate that in vietnam and was also supposed to try dog meat, but i was sick the night we were supposed to go. so no dog meat for me.

Devon clotted cream tea = jam + cream + scone (jam on top)
Cornish cream tea wins. No question.
