However, speaking of breakfast food--even if it was a night market--the oyster omelette in Taipei was absolutely disgusting. 

0/10 would not recommend.

I think we all just find it funny that you're so wildly passionate about such a mundane and trivial thing...

...so it's fun to tweak you on the subject :57:
I get that, but posting twice a month on this board about it as a change-up to football stuff isn't super passionate.

I've eaten a lot of "weird" Chinese, French, Cajun, Spanish, Italian, and Mexican food. Including snakes, intestines, all parts of the head, snails, sea snails, feet, and a lot of other things that mainstream Americans typically avoid.  You'll get some odd stuff from cultures that stress using every part of an animal, or even finding proteins in unusual places.

For the most part, it was all pretty good, and some of it excellent.

Compared to the other 8 billion people, we're the weird ones not eating all that stuff on the regular.

For sure.

I'll try anything once and in general people from various cultures don't deliberately, willingly choose to eat things that taste terrible.

On the other hand, there is such a thing as an acquired taste, and there are some things I've tried and just didn't feel the urge to acquire a taste for it.

Never had either of those, that I can recall.  But I'd give 'em both a shot, were I ever to encounter them.

Walrus colon is much better fresh.

You can go to an Asian market in the US and get cans of pickled crickets, quail eggs, and all kinds of nasty stuff. Then there's soul food with chicken guts, pigs feet, hog jowel, chitlins, etc. You needn't go overseas in order to find gross things to eat.

Even when they come in a large can, pickled in brine like the crickets?
