but today, I witnessed I what I consider to be the weirdest, dare I say grossest food option ever...
A young women actually put Mayonnaise on her Meatball Parmigiana sandwich.

I'll take my hot dog with mayo and onions, thank you.
Yellow mustard is satan food. Brown mustard is the only acceptable relative, especially with REAL brats (NOT Johnsonville! YUCK).
I put nothing in 'bird nest' soup (S.E. Asia)...  |

I've seen/eaten some pretty strange items too in my travels. The most unnerving was in Korea when the plate was passed around and before taking some I asked our guy, Mr Lee, "What is this?" He takes a bite and chews and says "Oh, some kind of fish material".
Oh Good, my fav. I passed. |

It's a nice accompanying first course prior to the grilled kabob of the 'mammal de jour' (cat/dog/monkey) basted with nuc nam.
Seriously, I've had all of the above plus...
BTW, if you think that's strange, my bride eats cold left-over spaghetti for breakfast!  |

Location: Las Vegas, NV | Back in college, I joined a few fellow engineering students who were Asian (Chinese and Vietnamese) for lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant. They ordered several different dishes in Vietnamese, so I didn't know what we were eating. I grew up in Hawaii, and ate everything my dad put in front of me, so I'm always game for something new.
I thought the fettuccine-like, gray noodle was a little weird. When I asked what it was, the waiter told me "pig tendon." I kept thinking that there were much better parts of the pig that we could be eating... |

Location: big island | beggin,
when i was working in the food brokerage business in NC, one of my accounts was the penrose company that pickled those pig's feet. i weren't proud of it. and man, are they a mess to clean up when the gasses escape from the feet and explode the brine out around the rim of the jar! i liked their pickled eggs pretty good though.
and speaking of pigs |

Back in the very late '70s, I paid a weeks pay for a tough 'beef steak' dinner in London. Fish & chips became a luxury... Actually eel was better and cheaper if ya found the right alley dinery.
My sig line is quite appropriate for this post... 
Edited to add: Oops, just checked out your sig line. Never mind! |
