You wouldn’t believe it if I told you all the stories of strange food I’ve personally eaten (or saw co-workers eat) in Asia.
Here are a couple true stories:
We frequently travel to Guangdong / Shenzhen area. There is restaurant called “1 + 1”
They serve bugs, everything from field maggots and grub worms to cockroaches. Everything is LIVE and then stir-fried.
They literally dump several mounds of different stir-fried bugs onto your plate. Then you eat it. Then you pay for it. You obviously drink major amounts of alcohol ahead of the first bite, and with each bite; otherwise, you wouldn’t do it.
My joke is that name of restaurant “1 + 1” meaning is if you eat ONE serving fried cockroach PLUS ONE serving fried grub worm, you’ll THROW UP at least TWO TIMES! (maybe more)
Should I post upload some real photos of the “entrees” served by the “1 + 1” restaurant?
Another story is I have many times eaten dog when visiting Korea. No joking. Those nice Korean co-workers later told me, “Eat dog, give you dog energy, you make a lotta bang bang with your wife, good for marriage!”
They they asked me, “So, friend, you get some good dog energy from the dog meat meals?”
I told them I did find myself other day trying to dry hump the leg of some nice looking Korean college girls I saw on the street, but that is no cause for alarm ’cause that’s my normal behavior whatever is my diet.
