I went and visit my friends in Canada for a vacation. We we’re talking about stuff then they open up a topic about foods which looks gross but delicious. So they talked about sausages, meatballs, etc. When it’s my turn to share my food experiences they were speechless, here’s the some of the list.
- Balut
- Pig/Chicken Blood
- Snakes
- Frogs
- Intestines (chicken)
- Insects (worms, beetles, etc.)
One of the girls suddenly hit me and said “WTF man stop making things up!”. Being the curious as i am i asked them “Okay, you don’t eat those kind of foods here?” then they replied in perfect harmony “No!”. I have few friends from Asia and i know that almost everyone of them eat these foods some even eat spiders and scorpions. As a South East Asia’s representative i have the task to show them what those foods looks like and handed them the photo’s of the dishes. As they continue to scroll they started gagging and we never talk about exotic foods ever again.
EDIT: Okay, sorry for including all Asian countries this is mostly from South East Asia (to be specific my country Philippines).
