Let's leave the sexual references out of the discussion, please. Thank you.



As for exotic foods, i suppose it depends on where you come from. For me growing up, it wasn't in the least bit exotic to have various animal parts like liver and kidney and tongue, century eggs, congee, lychee, dried cuttlefish, and various preserved fish. heck, I grew up with headcheese (my dad and I loved it, the rest of my family did not).



And living in Canada, a multicultural food paradise, I think nothing of going out for pho or ethiopian food or a haggis or curries. There are even restaurants where I've had rabbit, ostrich, alligator, octopus, and caviar.

Hormigas culonas maybe? That´s from Colombia...


Right, exactly.  I happened to be there the right time of year to see a bunch of people selling them on the streets in Bogotá.  I bought a little bag of them, but I ended up waiting until I had some people willing to share them with me, because the idea of sitting alone eating ants was depressing.

Did it have an especially exotic filling inside?  Pirogi's don't seem all that exotic.

I was accidentally drinking out of a opened cola bottle which was sitting there for 4 months + ....



I tell you, the ingredients were rather exotic.

Gah! how could I forget prairie oysters? That's pretty exotic even if you live in cattle country (in the big city, that is). My buddy's family owns a cattle ranch so he's treated us to prairie oysters on a couple of occasions.

Wait... not to be crude or anything, but are those bull balls?

Maybe it's just a northern California thing, but we call them Rocky Mountain oysters around these parts.

Yeah I know, was kind of a joke - I live in the Pirogian kingdom also known as Poland... but nobody uses this name anymore.

And the most exotic food I ate? Hmm... I don't know. It really depends on what you consider exotic - I was on a few trips all over the world so it's hard to tell. The most exotic thing I ate was a McChicken... eaten in Egipt. Or it was kofta (also in Egypt). I'm not a fan of exoticness... it should taste good, not be from god knows where.

Street meat. To this day I'm still not certain what goes in it.

Not a rare thing in my place. They´re collectively called "criadillas" independently from the animal where they they come from. Not my fave, but well stewed, they are not that terrible.

Foreign????
I´d never consider anything from the rest of Europe as foreign. :unsure:

But you're not from an island that subsists entirely on heavily fried foods and breakfast tea, are you?  ;)
