He's yet to try anything I wouldn't, as a matter of fact I was watching that today and really want to try some Durian.

Try any Japanese market in the refrigerated section! It is partially fermented soybean. you add a little green onion and whatever condiment that comes with the package, and then you stir it up quickly so that you get a consistency of snot with chunks of soybean and green onion. Only takes 10 seconds of rapid stirring with chopsticks and it is tasty!

Sounds delicious.

Keep in mind that every brand or style will use different condiments and the beans will will range in size also. I prefer the smaller beans!

Great stuff. Thanks for posting that. I didn't have the guts to try this (no pun intended) when i was in the Philippines. I recently watched Andrew Zimmern eat it on his show. Now that I know it tastes like a chicken omelet I gotta try it.

I'm sure you've seen this site:
Exotic Meats | Gourmet Food | Buffalo Meat

I hadn't seen that site(somehow it never occurred to me that I could order meat online). I may have to give it a try.

Also if you get the chance to try balut let me know how you like it.

Please read what you just typed.

I'm going to have to say that this Balut stuff looks mighty gross, but for the right amount of money, I'd eat two. It's a little screwed up to eat the chick like that, but whatever.

I know what I post QO. With rare exception, I always know what I post!

The exclamation point was especially for you my friend.

Ok, just checking. I know I never talk about the food I eat as being the consistency of chunky snot...

**icedog** · 03-17-2009, 11:28 AM

What grade of snot? Are you talking about the crispy ones I get after a day in the shop or the rubbery, sticky nose goblins or the clear, slimy mucousy type?

I was stationed in Virginia with a guy who would go to the Chow Hall and eat a bowl of whatever the guys at the table put in it if everyone at the table gave him a dollar.
