1. What if someone's had more than one?
I've tried chicken feet. Didn't care for 'em.

6. Some sort of Thai food
Edited on Sat Apr-16-05 12:17 AM by blackcat77
My wife went to college with a Thai girl and she fixed us a meal one night. Felt like I was eating napalm and I had the shits for days.

No wonder most of them are so skinny... :)

8. no chicken feet
no haggis and no prairie oysters. Everything else I've tried. I do like blood sausage and I remember buying a pigs head for my husbands aunt that wanted to make head cheese. Chitterlings, I just could not swallow. When I bit into them the smell of shit exploded in my head ( it was kinda like that hot mustard the chinese use only shit)

10. A good rule of thumb:
If you'd feel compelled to stomp on it if you saw it crawling toward you, don't put it in your mouth. :)

17. I must confess that exotic foods
and I rarely get along. Until 4 years ago, I had never even eaten Thai food, for example. Then I became an addict of it! (Ummmm.....Pad Thai and Cashew Chicken!!!!!)
