Something tells me that many of these "local delicacies" are just entertainment for the locals at the expense of the tourist..."Hey I bet I can get that rich American to eat chicken rectum!"
Possibly. Some others such as the water bugs are delicacies. To the point that extract from that waterbug was used as black market currency during the vietnam war, being worth more than gold by weight throughout southeast asia.
And now let's all ask Bill if he ever chewed the Tequila Worm...
It sounds like time to organise a Jeeper's Jam for "Real Men", complete with an exotic "critter" buffet.
We always did it as "Have A Tequila, have two tequila" to the tune of Hava Nagila.
Don't you believe it - my g/f eats chicken rectum, "bugs" (big spiders grilled), deep fried flies (certain varieties - dont ask me !), ants eggs, rotten fish (pla ra in Thai), stir-fried frogs, those nasty chinese eggs (bury it in the ground for a few years until the white goes to black jelly) etc. Consequently, she likes haggis !
