Interesting point, but….what is “Chinese tainted milk”? Milk with soy sauce added? 😉
Hey! Horse tastes pretty good.
Right, horse meat is tasty! Just a question of taboo foodI tried silk worms, fried grasshopers, dogs (didn't like it though), balut egg, frogs, snails, snakes, foie gras, even hamburgers and more: not bad ! 😛
I have not willingly eaten any insects nor had Balut eggs but I have tried everything else on your list. I thought snails were nasty, like even more disgusting oysters.
