no - yuck!!  I might if you paid me enough money though.

I'm glad the job interview went well for you.

Warm regards.
Rolleyes let me think - ummmmmm $5000 New Zealand dollars which is about $2500 American. Wink
Darn - maybe oneday.
I wouldn't eat a nearly fully-developed baby that was boiled alive for any amount of money.
I have tried fresh durian (fresh? FRESH I say? how can that term be applied to anything smelling like that I ask?)

I got some in college, down the local chinatown, the smell was pretty bad, but I tried some anyway, tasted sweet, and sort of like what burning phosphorus smells like, with overtones of rotting onion/garlic.

I got about one bite down me, before me and my friends decided to throw it up in the airvents when our tutor was being a bitch above and beyond the call of duty.

The college doesn't HAVE a gas supply, but the gas repair people were still called out and the college evacuatedBig Grin
I eat eggs, I eat chicken.  I suppose I would eat in-between that.  but only really if I was at someone's house and it would be impolite to refuse.  I wouldn't order it in a restaurant.  I don't eat chicken feet or dog or horse either, not on purpose.
I'm fond of weird food, but if it's like Natalie says then I wouldn't eat it. There are still plenty of other things out there to try.
It would depend what kind of mood im in. Usually Im VERY open to new things, so I try almost every new food. But it could be one of those nights where I just can't.
Eating any sort of brains, especially primate brains, strikes me as a nice way to introduce some sort of nasty prion disease into the human equation.
Also brain tissue is really high in fat (neurons have a layer of fat called the myelin sheath around them).
Perhaps zombies should get on a deit or something (sorry about the double post; I just thought of that now).
That was lame, sorry again.
No. FWIW, Balut is also eaten in parts of Vietnam as well.

It is, but they call it something else there.


Because of the language differance, I would have assumed that to be the case. --The Vietnamese probably still got the dish from the Khmer though, considering the fact that the Khmer Empire was the defacto power in the region about 500-1000 years ago.

I would have to say no.
