Troll, what do you take me for? A carnivorous type? OOOOHHHH, but NOOOOOO.
Even if I was that, I am still picky. Half , no, more than half I do not know what it is. And it just sounds gross. Where are the carbs?

a recognized a lot of Asian food in there!
we eat pho all the time!
I said No or had never heard of a lot too. That Poll is all over the internets. Apparently, it was in an English Foodie Magazine originally.
The English eat all sorts of gross stuff.
Giants Fan- What is PHO?
Troll-I dont know what most of it even is...but it didnt sound good.
Leigh I took this and posted it! I think I eat too much cause I did know most of it and have had most of it. Fairly regularly. I gave explanations.) Take care
Hey Doll,
This is to answer your questions under my post.
Raclette is very good. It is served warmed or melted actually. It is very smooth and reminds me a lot of brie. Not that they taste the same so much as just the texture I guess
Allo gobi is middle Eastern or Indian I cannot remember honestly. But either way I bet it is what your S I L makes. They often run hand in hand. It is very good. I can make myself sick eating it.
You can make a vegetarian Gumbo, I have some recipes if you want them.
Black pudding is an English blood sausage. They cook the blood filler until it turns black and then make the sausage with it. I swear there is nothing nastier!
As far as my being brave, don't know so much about that.
My parents travel all over the world and as children they took us or brought back things for us to try. It was important to them that we be exposed to many places, foods, and cultures. It was a fun thing to do! Thanks for posting it.
bama bell-I want that vegetarian gumbo recipe!
