Let’s think about Chinese food for a minute: Fried rice. Breaded chicken. Sure, there are veggies, but they’re usually covered in a sauce. Point is, our normal Chinese take-out can be a big bowl of chicken-fried calories. Here is the worst-offenders list, the seven least healthy choices on the Chinese […]

There’s a new cookbook around…  It’s called, “The Testicle Cookbook: Cooking With Balls.”  Don’t worry, it only calls for animal parts.  In some countries, eating testicles is thought of as an aphrodisiac.  Read more…

Guess what that is!
I will concede that some of this stuff may taste fantastic, however most of it gives me the heebie jeebies. Think of it this way, though; there’s probably a list like this on the other side of the world, filled with food we eat on a normal basis. Dig in!

I’ve seen pictures of exotic buffet lines, filled with bugs and snakes on sticks, dog part soup and other things not traditionally eaten in my culture.  I tried to remain neutral, since I truly believe that every culture should be allowed to believe and eat what they wish.
