Answer 1

In my culture (I live in beautiful Zimbabwe), it is considered to be a delicacy to eat grubs that have been coated with a batter consisting of salt and arrowroot flour and then deep fried. Also, I had quite the laugh one time when an American visited our village when I was young. It is quite common for our people to eat goat intestine stuffed with ground monkey meat. It quite resembles what you may know as sausage, but the American could not tolerate it after eating two plates. He thought they were delicious and we did not tell him what was in it but he fouled himself quite constantly for the next few days. The children in my village still refer to anyone who is incontinent as "Jonathan," which was the name of the American.

African Advise--fear not, my American cousin (I'm assuming that's where you are from). My American relations have told me that goat intestines are fairly easily obtained in your country. Also, they have been telling me that it is possible to "adopt" monkeys from the laboratory after the experimental trials have been completed. Good luck in replicating the meals of your homeland.

In Thailand large grasshoppers are consumed...I also saw fried pig's face at a roadside vendor; you eat the inside flesh...the outside still had singed hair on it...neither was really bad.

The weirdest thing I ever saw though was on Globetrekker...in the artic, people sometimes eat a bit of seal feces mixed with blubber...couldn't even imagine how that is.
