In Japan you cook or not cook at the table. This place had in addition to a hot plate was a fire for bowing soup. The staff came around with buckets of live God knows what to put in it. They wont take no thank you from an American.

They put so much in my bowl that wasn't that hot, then came the baby octopus which crawled out have cooked. Technically I didn't eat it but i feel a need right now. I guess you had to be there.

Durian tops all. While in Cambodia I was socially obligated into eating this fruit. Fully ripe it is like eating rotted onions over the cess pools of Victorian Paris. ... And I should add that Yes! It is also slimy...

We went to a Vietnamese friends wedding years ago. Had many amazing dishes but there's one that stuck out. It was sea cucumber. Flimsy when alive, rubbery yet gelatinous when cooked. After stabbing it wth my fork, I lifted it to my mouth. By the time

I had reached my mouth it had constricted and slid off my fork onto my plate. The pigeon was tasty along wth the goose feet but we passed on the shark fin soup. To me it's just wrong! I will never forget the taste of the cuc and will never eat again.
