    I think he means unusual for everyone, not unusual for you personally.

    How do we know what’s unusual for everyone?

    I went for a walk in Shanghai at 6 in the morning . I had breakfast in a local place.
    I had meat something. Tasty but now knowing a bit more about what they eat in China I shudder to think what it was :(

    Ha, no. I have a determination to eat everything (and yes you can tell by looking at me:pac:) but also I get a weird sense of pride eating things that kill humans. I am therefore very much into eating snake and tarantula as soon as I can.

    Food in Chatuchak Market in Thailand, stuff sitting out in the boiling sun.

    My wife used to laugh at me, I'd brush my teeth with bottled water to avoid the shítes but eat any crap on the side of the road.

    First they came for the socialists...

    Well, I don't know anyone who eats snakes, so if I ate snake then I'd know.

    I usually find some creme fraiche takes the edge off the bitterness.

    Hákarl - fermented shark.
    Donkey.

    Only one tasted like ass and it wasn't the donkey.
