    If I had known then what I know now, I wouldn't have made the mistake that taught me what I know now, but didn't know then.

    I've eaten chickens' feet and ducks webs quite a few times, but fail to understand why people bother* - there's more meat on Kate Moss.

    I had some scorpions in Snacks Street in Beijing - they were quote nice.

    *I usually eat them because some Chinese are trying to gross me out. Never works.

    Fermented tofu from a place in Taichung. Jesus fucking Christ, do not approach except in 3-Romeo and even then think twice.

    Sheep's head. Boiled with vegetables and pulled apart with hands and a knife. Some of the meat wasn't bad and the tongue was ok but it was a bit of a surprise to be presented with without warning.

    A containerised curry which was basically yesterday's all-in stew recycled, fleshed out with the breakfast leftovers (I'm pretty sure there was weetabix in there as well) and spiced. The rice was undercooked too and one bloke broke a tooth on it.

    I think the last one was probably the worst. The others, well those were just local cuisine I didn't happen to like but in that case some cunt had purposely served up thinly-disguised pigswill to hungry troops.
    We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.

    In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

    Sod all wrong with avian feet as food. It's all about the texture and not the taste, since they don't really have a taste except of whatever they're cooked in. Crispy fried, they're quite a good beer snack and not unlike pork scratchings.

    P.S. What is she doing with her tits? Not complaining, just asking.

    Should have sliced em and pan fried em with chilli flakes. Bit like chewy chorizo.

    Compared with our cookhouse mate I found MPA varied & refreshing - least you didn't have to pay for brews & glasses of squash.

    Malaysian cookhouse had a pyramid of vegetables outside with cats sitting on it and they kept the freshly diced chicken in the long urinal in the iso and whole chickens feet up in the bogs. My only regret is that I discovered this after a week of eating there.
