Continuing with the "You gonna eat that?" theme, my Aunt Elaine chimed in with this:

The worst things I've eaten were: in Denmark--fried fish with a raw quail egg on top-fortunately I had a glass of Aqavit to wash it down, and in France -- raw sea urchin that was still moving (tasted like salty sand) and cooked octopus (like rubber). I hate fish nevermind urchin and octopus.

That sounds highly unpleasent. I'm not much of a fish person either. I've had octopus once, at Jumbo "Floating" Restaurant -- it's not actually floating, but it is on pylons in Aberdeen Harbour -- and it made me ill. I also had jellyfish in Hong Kong, which doesn't taste much of anything, but give you the sensation of chewing on rubber bands. I have not eaten enything that is still moving, but that is, apparently, a specialty of one of the hot restaurants here. Um, no thank you.

The quali egg and fish thing reminds me of balut [Warning: The pics are gross], a Filipino "delicacy" and hangover cure. Basically, it's a boiled fertilized duck egg. So yes, there's a fetal duck in there. And you eat it. Again, not something I ever tried, and I'm fine with that.
