As I was compiling my list of "Things I've Eaten", it occurred to me that my sister may be right when she said I'm most likely going to scare away all my friends and co-workers if they see what I've been digesting all these years. So, in deference to my vegetarian friends (any vegans out there that I don't know about?), I've been thinking hard about ways to offer up a list of vegetarian-tame dishes for the milder palates . In doing so, I may possibly redeem myself and regain a modicum of respect -- however little that is!
Then again, isn't it much more interesting to live on the wild side, to venture into unknown culinary territories? I've eaten shark fin and fish eyes and deer (doesn't sound as fancy as "veal" does it?), and yet, that's not considered weird or strange b/c eating shark meat and veal isn't uncommon in western-style cuisines.
However, just b/c I named a couple of items on a blog doesn't make them exotic or strange. Plenty of folks eat those things -- I just happen to be living in a society whose dominant cultures don't often delve into such "delicacies." Or, they do, but I'm completely ignorant of it happening.
