Takes a lot of San Miguels in the Philippines to try a Balut (fermented developing embryo served in the egg). Been places where I didn't even know what I was eating, A good hint when there's no dogs around, just tell yourself it's rabbit or chicken and have another drink. Will have to acquire Bourdain's culinary skills to get a gig like he has, until then only dreaming.
Do what I did join the the U.S. Marines. They pay you to travel to smelly places, drink the local hooch, eat mystery meat(in the Philippines we called it monkey meat, more likely it was dog).
I have often wondered how popular those travel shows would be if they included "Smell-A-Vision" where you would be forced to smell some of these locations.
My favorite food destinations are Greece and Korea. Mike.
