Rebel Rescuer

Being the hard working chick that I am, its very rare that my carcass has time to sit and stare at the idiot box for an hour.  And so it was that I found myself between tasks staring in nauseus horror at a tv show that can only be described as horrific.  (But also being a “silver lining” kind of person, it DID make me forget that breakfast and lunch hadn’t been eaten and I might lose a pound today.  Maybe I should’ve recorded this show).  Here is what was served on this so-called food show…and the host actually ATE it.  I mean, I was a vegetarian for a long time, and still don’t eat McDonalds.  While I DO like sushi and sashimi, that’s about as crazy as  it gets.  Now excuse me while I get the vomit out of my hair…

Raw pigs’s testicle (sliced and served with soy sauce).  Trichinosis anyone??

Beating Frog’s Heart (literally he was holding it in chopsticks and it was BEATING, actually it was kind of like a raw red glistening mushroom that was waving goodbye)

Frog Sashimi (sliced raw frog, presumably the leftovers from the beating heart)

Lizard Sake (with like a 6″ lizard standing in the glass)

Giant Snails cooked right in front of your eyes on a grill

Deer Penis (wtf?)

Snake Sake

Poisonous Blow Fish (must be licensed to prepare this and contains enough toxins to numb your mouth)

Live turtle (well, till they cut its head off, saving the blood to make a drink)  the legs are eaten with the skin on.

About halfway through (while wretching iced tea all over myself and anyone standing within ten feet) I decided I’d had enough.  No more of this culinary crap for me. 

*Author’s note – this post is not meant to piss anyone off who eats this crap, this is not an ethnic poke at anyone.  If you want to gag down some of this stuff, and its normal in your country, then knock yourself out.  But you won’t find my hiney sitting down to a plate of rooster sternum anytime soon.**
