 ML> I've not watched this show, but from what I hear, the foods
 ML> tend not to be that bizarre. As I told Hap just now, I'm a

 CS> most of it seemed normal to us.  Then again, I like Japanese version
 CS> fishsticks so who am I to talk?  ;-)

 ML> This is Mr. Zimmern's list of his ten top weird foods, from
 ML> his Website.

 ML> Durian is an extremely odoriferous fruit with custard-like flesh.

Normal.  Good stuff.  Wear plastic baggies on your hands when you eat it and
for the most fun, have it cut fresh in a market on a hot day.  Drink coconut 
milk out of a coconut they cut right infront of you and insert a straw. 

 ML> Klia is a mystery meat that is salted, dried and preserved in its
 ML> own fat.

I think I've had this.  If not, I've had things like it.

 ML> Mangrove Worms live off of dead wood pulp - they are eaten raw.

No thanks.

 ML> Callos is a casserole made with blood sausage and tripe.

Good eating too!

 ML> Coconut Grubs is larvae that live in dead palm trees.

Believe it or not but had this by accident once.  Not worth repeating.

 ML> Menudo is soup made with tripe and beef hearts.

What wierd about menudo?

 ML> Goose Intestines on Bean Sprouts is essentially Goose guts.

Excellent.  But normally served on a sort of 'bowl' of shmenji.  'Bowel Bowl'
and one of the wierd foods of Sasebo at Tonoo.  You add fermented bean paste
and stir fry that then a raw duck egg yellow on top.

 ML> Nutria in Sauce Piquant is a large semi-aquatic rodent.

Humm, not sure if I've had that.  Doesnt bother me though.

 ML> Soup No. 5 is a soup made from the back and testicles of a bull.

Not wierd but not my favorite idea.

 ML> Haggis is sheep heart, lungs, liver mixed with oatmeal and stuffed
 ML> in the sheep's stomach bag.

Normal stuff.  I am not fond of it but this isnt 'wierd'.

 ML> You will note that not only is he not all THAT adventurous, he's
 ML> not much of a writer either.

 ML> I'll say that I've had 5 of these things and would prefer them
 ML> to, say, pancakes and syrup, and have had similar things to
 ML> the other 5.

I skip on the worms and such but the rest either I've had, would like to try, 
or think I have had it but not sure if the name was the same.
