Hey Todd,
Happy New Year!
When I was a young teenager (25+ years ago) my parents took me to Cuba. We're
Canadians, and we just made sure we had Canadian flags and pins on everything
we were wearing/carrying so they didn't mistake us for Americans. Beautiful
beaches, really friendly people, and our lousy dollar at a great exchange rate.
Can't beat that!
Anyhow, the trip was great, and we stayed at a great resort that used to summer
homes for Americans. We had our own villa, and then all the guests ate lunch
and supper together. Most of the food was identifiable, but a couple of times
it was iffy. The most memorable was the meatloaf that looked and tasted like
hamburger and pork mixed together.
A day or two later, however, we went on a tour of a crocodile (or maybe
alligator, can't tell the difference) farm. Why farm crocodiles you ask???
Well, remember the mystery meat from the other night? That's right....
The other weird eat from the trip was on the cool Fiesta Night. Lots of great
music, food, dancing. My dad chowed down on the great chicken legs, but for
some reason my mom told me not to eat them. Turned out she'd asked, and found
out they were actually frog legs. She didn't tell Dad about it, but he probably
wouldn't have cared anyway cause he's got an iron stomach.
Mom also swears that we ate chocolate covered insects on that trip too, but I
don't remember it. Whatever. I'll eat pretty much anything as long as it's
covered in chocolate.
Love the site btw!

Hey Todd
Pig jaws, maybe no so weird a thing after all (has a slightly chewy, dry
texture, and tastes strongly of pork) when you think about it. But it sounds
revolting to me anyway. I was at boarding school at the time and I overheard the
kitchen staff talk about it. "They got to be talking about food for their dogs.
I thought to myself. Needless to say I was wrong. I also got served kangaroo at
the school. Even though I couldn't stop thinking about Skippy while I ate it, it
was delicious.
The weirdest food combo I like is peanut butter with a pinch of garlic and
chilli.
