you got chased by chickens too *hi5* XD

Its DURIAN, and i used to love eating it when i was younger, but now, it overwhelms me, the smell just goes WAAAY up my nose and i can't breathe.
I can't say it's nasty, because it is nice, but its just a really pungent taste and its certainly an acquired taste.

Heavens no, that would be illegal where I live. I already get enough hate mail from PETA as it is, bloody psycho's, and I don't feel like getting slapped with a lawsuit for killing fido. I'm just saying it probably wouldn't taste that bad if you made it properly.

Plus the dog's in america are raised as pets, not as livestock, and would probably be a bit insensative to the palate. Indians view cows as holy creatures and they would probably be disgusted seeing a plate of steaks (thats more of a religious thing but you get my point), when one can break free of their ethnocentrism a wide variety of ideas, and foods, present themselves. I'm simply speculating at the possibilities :D .

HAHAHA you got chased by chickens too. I have a feeling every Chinese kid gets chased by some sort of farm animal as a kid (seriously). My brother is the same. Same with some of my old friends, my cousins. Damn, it must be a curse, lmao!

Durian is more correct and Duran, but I've seen it spelled the latter a lot. I guess that would be the Engrish version XD

Hahaha, I know, I was just messing with you. I'm sure if you prepared it right it wouldn't be half-bad, but I just don't like the idea.

I wouldn't mind trying a cooked dog.

Here's what I think is gross:

Cooked roaches,


Maggots,


Oysters,


Haggis, (for those who don't know, it's a Scottish dish made from the lung, liver, and heart of the sheep)

I LOVE OYSTERS with tabasco sauce and lemon obvs.
but its definately an acquired taste.

Theres a great oyster place ten minutes from my uni, about an hour away from home, but we used to go there for family trips out.

Arikado 12-11-2008 09:02 PM

Bugs and insects...eh, no thanks -.-;
I don't mind oysters, as long as they aren't raw. They're really good in seafood and noodle soups for sure.

Aniki 12-11-2008 09:17 PM

I tried eating oysters once, but they looked like boogers so I just could find any courage to try, before throwing up.
