"What's this I hear about Italians eating placenta?
Childbirth is worrisome enough without some sous chef waiting to..."
"What?"
"Really?"
"Never mind."

I hate sushi but had some with my daughter...and the rest of the family. The plate came, I grab something with my fingers and ate a bunch of it and about spit it out. My daughter laughed and said that was ginger, you don’t eat it that way... So much for my cultured life. Went to an Italian restaurant and the wife ordered polenta and I was asked if I’d like the same. I said I’m not eating placenta... another head shaking from the wife. I said it sounds close enough.
I’m a meat and potatoes, van,choc,straw ice cream and black coffee kind of guy. Having eaten local foods around the world is probably why. Even did balut on a bet in the Philippines... alcohol was involved.
Balut?! Tell me that’s not true...
I heard about balut from an older brother who was on Okinawa in WWII. If memory serves, balut is a chicken or duck egg with a baby bird inside, which is taken from the nest, the peep or duckling dies, the egg is buried in the ground until it is totally rotten. The rotten eggs are then sold in the streets from pushcarts, as snacks I guess. That’s accurate enough for shooting the breeze on FR. Blessings.
