What food would you never eat?

For AuntieNellieK:

Tibet?? Holy cow...that's really out there! I always thought that area was so politically sensitive to China that it was difficult for just about anybody to get into it. That is something!

I read that you would not ever try insects...made me recall an article I read in the Chicago Tribune once about an area within Mexico where locals eat tortas and tacos made with live insects. It is considered a true delicacy in this area. The reporter who wrote the article documented seeing the eaters of these tacos and tortas with live insects actually crawling up their arms after some the bugs escaped the tacos they were consuming. The tacos came in a variety of insects; the only one I specifically remember the reporter mentioning that locals ate were ants, though others were noted that I don't remember.

Many insects are edible. In fact, according to www.eatbug.com, an entomophagy (insect eating) Web site, most people have inadvertently consumed more than a pound of insects in their lifetime. Flour beetles, weevils and other insects that infest granaries are milled along with the grain, finally ending up as those tiny black specks in your slice of bread. Small grubs and other tiny insects can be found in fruit and vegetables, and insects are especially common in canned and other types of processed food and beverages.

Still doesn't appeal to me. Get out the RAID and poison that food dead!

Re: What food would you never eat?

To convince kids that eating properly prepared insects is not only good for you but can also taste good, our local Science Center has a "bug man" from the UW spend time with kids every so often, coaxing them to eat stuff like chocolate covered ants, deep fried worms, etc. YUCK!! Oh well, I suppose if you can stomach the thought of Gummi worms and rats or pickled aguacate worms in tequila, it's not too much of a leap to graduate to hard core bug eating...

Anyone remember that Larry Price slip up on the Perry and Price show one morning? It started out with a conversation on eating Filipino food when a Haole Navy sailor said hs wife is Filipina and he eats all of her native cooking including Balut. Larry Price couldn't believe it but was impressed at his courage to eat the stuff.

When the phone conversation ended it segue'd into a song with Larry Price talking over it to the post saying: This is for the sailor who eats his wife's Bilat" (He meant to say Balut) Meanwhile Michael W. Perry is heard laughing his ass off as the song hit the post.

At the end of the song, Larry Price comes on the air and still doesn't understand his slip up with Michael W. Perry telling their radio audience, "Let's go to the phones". Some elderly female caller tells Larry, "Larry shame on you!" Price still puzzled over the ruckus tells the lady, "I just said the sailor eats his wife's Bilat!" Oh man the female caller was even more embarrassed and hung up.

Michael W. Perry quickly hit another song laughing so hard! When that song ended Larry Price finally figured it out and apologized profusely. That was a radio classic!

I would never knowingly eat dog, cat, rodents, insects or reptiles. I've tasted frog legs and don't care for em! On a recent trip back home to Hawaii got to taste some bear that my brother shot. He made a stew and it was ono!

In a sleepy Mexican village ...

"Hey, Pedro! Here comes one of those gringo reporters. Wanna get 'im?"

"Si, Carlos! What should we do this time?"

"Hmm ... I know! Let's tell him we put bugs in our tacos!"

(They both laugh uproariously.)

"Balut" is an incubated egg with developed embryo of 17 to 19 days which is boiled and eaten with or without salt.

Bilat is human female genitalia.

Bilat is human female genitalia.

I thought it was spelled "bilot". (Not that I write it down all that often, mind you.)

Re: What food would you never eat?

Bilat is human female genitalia.

Bilat can also apparently be used as a proper name.

Bilat is human female genitalia.

in some instances, they are both equally fowl.

I think it is spelled bilot, too. Am sure it is pronounced Bee Lot'.

Balut is pronounced Bah Loot'.

(just to clear up any misunderstanding for our Canadian viewers)
