Its Andrew Zimmern actually. That guy will eat anything, but then again hes getting paid. I draw the line at penises. Besides the libido I have is problem enough. :-) There was a small restaurant we frequented this summer that had a huge jar of "100 year old" red wine with a dead snake in it. The owner offered me a free drink every day but I was afraid it would likely kill me. It was also purported to have been beneficial to the libido.

yes you're right. I tried the scorpions in Beijing. I was told to break the tails off before eating. They didn't have much flavor, just a lot of crunch.

I had Large Ants (fried) for lunch at a restaurant in Haining this summer. Even the Chinese were taking pictures of the dish.

Ive had 榴莲酥。 The fruit was baked evidently. There was no strong smell and it was quite tasty actually. I have never had the raw fruit.

When I was a boy, my poor overweight cocker spaniel got a buzz cut every spring (courtesy of my parents). I dont think this idea is new, or uniquely Chinese.

Tom would make a good host. Might be easier to find a new translator.

well if you like sulphur and ammonia I guess its ok. Never been able to bring myself to taste one. The name doesnt help. The ones I have seen were often made from duck eggs. A quail version I might try. I love those little quail eggs hard boiled in hot pot. I have always wanted to try a couple sunny side up :-).
