Right Now!

I have enjoyed eating many different things in my life. I love SPAM fried up with eggs or mac n cheese. I have eaten tongue sandwiches and licked my fingers afterwards. I have eaten rabbit – and yes, it tastes just like chicken. I ate paste and crayons as a kid. Heck, I have put things in my mouth that I cannot even discuss in public. But, I can honestly say that I will now announce a list of things that, even in my reigning fat girl champion status, will never, did I say never, enter my mouth, let alone have the opportunity to digest in my body.

BALUT. What the f***! Who on earth could think that eating an embryo would be delicious?

I understand that it is a different culture than the one I know and love, but come on! Seriously, feathers and a beak and you eat it? You chomp it? You crunch down on the little thing like it is a Double Double with grilled onions and that is normal? I have watched Fear Factor many times and seen them eat most of the things that are on this list, but I would have to smoke some pretty amazing pot before putting this in my mouth…even for a Million dollars! Now my good diva-ish friend Hoa swears that they are quite tasty...but still? Are you f'in kidding me? AN EMBRYO? IN MY MOUTH? HELL to-the NO!

ANYTHING ALIVE. There will be no Madagascar hissing cockroaches moving around in my mouth. No beetles. No spiders. No lizards…nothing. There is just no way! On FF I see them putting spiders in their mouths and covering their noses. WHY? Do the spiders smell bad? I think I would handle the smell, dude…it’s those hairy legs tickling your lips while you are opening wide for an eight legged snack. I am good with things that are dead…however…..


INSECTS, BUGS or ANYTHING FROM NATIONAL GEOGRPAHIC. Even dead, I am not sure that anything listed above or crickets or ants would ever be something I could eat and then say, with my eyes widening “MMMMMM”.

As I devour my fresh blueberry bagel from Claudia (thanks) just thought I would allow you into my head for a moment in time. Now that you’ve been there, now you understand the way I am, right? RIGHT.

Have a great weekend, my peeps!

Mirth & Merriment….
