Eight of what remains I wouldn't tackle in the first place (root beer float, Kaolin - since its primary function is to bung up an attack of diarrhoea, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, the cigar that goes with the cognac, zucchini and/or courgette flowers, snake and/or crocodile - since I'm a herpetophile, clotted cream tea). Two more I'm dubious about (catfish and carp) since people whose judgement I trust rate them as tasteless. The majority of the remainder are in languages I don't recognise.<BR/><BR/>However I can claim two oddities when I was in Japan: caramelised grasshopper (tastes like straw) and 100-year-old black eggs (a great disappointment; a bit like savoury yoghurt).<BR/><BR/>The most memorable taste ever was also in Japan; a paste made from some form of jellyfish mixed with horseradish. Closest approximate taste: gasoline.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.com
