I tried how many marshmellows I manage to fit into my mouth! Of course! Didn't really break the world record..too bad. How many I got? I'll tell you later on.
It's a curious thing. Eating. And playing with food. Years ago when my little sis was smaller..younger and well, yeah, stupider. She put a peanut into her nose. I think it was kinda hilarious. Later on she also tried " a diamond" and a bean. They all fitted perfectly into her little nose. And of course she had to be taken to the nurse's office so those things could be removed. I totally understand that people eat weird things when they are young(some people do it when they are old too) but why anyone wants to put something into his/her NOSE? What does nose represent? Is it some kind of place where to hide nice things? I don't know do I know anything nice that's also so small that it would fit into my nose.. Any suggestions? Not that I'm going to try!
What kind of weird things people eat then? Sure everyone has heard of "chinese people eat cats and dogs and other people"-thing, but like really.. When I was in HongKong I didn't get anything weird.. a normal sandwich. Normal cookies. Normal hot chocolate that burned my mouth inside and out. There's nothing weird in Hong Kong! At least not at the airport..that's the only place I saw. Okay I did look out of the windows but I didnt really go OUT..
That's the Hong Kong I saw. WOW! It was over a year ago! 7/12/2008. Wow. From Hong Kong I flew to Kuala Lumpur. I'll tell you more about it some other time. Can't just briefly talk about it.. It was so awesome. But more about weird things that I've eaten. I can't help myself mentioning this: Kuala Lipis. If my traveling mate ever reads this: I'm glad we survived!I can't bring myself to think about all the things there, but some? Yes. This is not exactly one weird dish I had.. It's more like the place where it was eaten..and with who.. and who prepared it and how..etc. Well, we jumped into a jeep that took us into the jungle. (Kuala Lipis itsself is in a jungle already, so we went even deeper)..
Our "guide" was a local man who brought some food supplies with us. He promised to cook for us when we're there. And he said we will be there in 45mins. It took 2hrs to actually get there. We walked around the jungle with him and 2 others(German tourists), went into the bat cave(to get there we had to walk on a jittery..broken..weak bridge and not fall down into a river), get rid of the 10cm long leeches on our ankles and legs(i still have a couple of scars left), stopped breathing and moving as we encountered a herd of wildboars(or something..we didn't really see them clearly..but they were grey and made horrible angry-pig-kinda-noise).. and finally reached the place where we were supposed to eat. Then we just waited him to prepare the food. From a chicken he had brought with us. The food he prepared was good. It had a lot of chicken, noodles, spices and bones and muscles and blood vessels. Delicious! The atmosphere of the lunch was terrific! All kinds of weird bugs flying around, leeches sucking blood in legs and ankles and ants jogging around the table. That man knew how to impress me indeed! A lot of things I ate in Kuala Lipis were surprisingly edible even though I didn't have a slightest clue of what it was. One thing is for sure: I ate a looooot of rice! And that chicken. At least it looked like the chickens I've seen. And I also ate some kind of fish. How do I know? Well, it laid there on the plate as I cut a piece of it..and ate it. I still remember the way she/he/it looked at me.. It was sort of dead look. You know, like a totally expressionless face. The one that makes you wonder "Is he angry? Or is he happy?" .. (This picture is here to show that the jungle was amazing! Even tho the leeches almost ate me alive when I put my legs in that water.. Yes, very wise thing to do: to put legs in that kind of water)
I've also tasted all kind of frutti di mare, but also deer, elk and bear. And some birds. And something I don't know what it was. Something from Estonia. Had to taste it. But what can you do when there are approximately 10 and ½ estonians staring at you? Oh, one of the funny things I ate in Malaysia was somekind of dried fish. But wow it was good. But still I'm staying away from Beef Jerky. I tried dried peach/apricot with spice (shuddering..) and it was .. (shuddering).. well..not a thing I'll ever eat again! EVER! Not even if you bring 11 estonians to stare at me! The most disgusting thing I've ever tasted is, no doubt, DURIAN. The taste is like rotten onion, puke and something else you would not like to eat. But if you ever get a chance to taste it, DO IT! Taste it! I did. Couple of times actually. Looks tasty, doesn't it?
Have you ever played the game where you tie up the other player's eyes and then let him/her taste different foods? I have. I'd like to play it again sometime and have Durian to make someone taste it. I'm not sure how people would react. Since not so many know about this fruit-of-horrors. The reaction might be something like my older sister's when I made her eat dog's food: "I'm not playing with you anymore!I'll never ever play this game with you again!" As a girl who used to eat cat's food, I don't really see why she got so mad. And even if she didn't like the taste, I still don't get it. I ate Durian, even though I hated the taste and wanted to rip my stomach open when I had finished it! At least I tried and had a happy horrible experience.. My sister did what she said: she hasn't played that game with me ever since I fed her the dogfood.By the way, I got 5. 5 marshmellows in my mouth. I told you I'd tell you later on.
