Bangladeshi Curried Goat Brains or PB&J

Phileena and I have traveled in and through nearly 70 countries.

As you can imagine, we’ve eaten some pretty crazy stuff. Generally, when traveling I’ll seriously eat almost anything. I mean it.

Some of the more notable meals that I’ve actually enjoyed include:

• Fish Head Tea in Jamaica
• Curried Goat Brains in Bangladesh
• All sorts of deep fried larva, grubs, and what seemed to be beetles and forms of grasshoppers on the streets of Thailand (sadly, on multiple occasions)
• Fish Head (actually the pounded mash of fish heads) Curry in South India
• Rabbit and Frog Tapas in Spain
• Raw Oysters wherever I can find them
• All sorts of crazy little Octopus looking things in Singapore
• Nearly boiling hot SUPER thick and creamy Goat Milk in Israel
• Cow Heart in Peru
• Dried Pork Floss (what the heck does that mean) in Taiwan
• Blood Sausage and Grilled Cow Intestines in Argentina (not a fan…)
• Durian (the smelliest fruit in the world… no joke) in Malaysia
• Yak and Water Buffalo Steaks in Nepal
• Giraffe and Zebra in Kenya

I could keep rolling with this list, but I won’t, because basically, most of that stuff I just listed was pretty awesome.

What’s a little weird, and I confess this, is that I’ll eat almost anything while traveling, but here in the good ole’ US of A I’m actually kind of picky…

Among the things I’ve not tried or won’t try here in my own homeland include:

• Mustard
• Catsup
• Mayonnaise
• Ranch Dressing
• Cole slaw
• Sweet Potatoes
• Olives
• Pickles
• Egg Salad
• Potato Salad
• Macaroni Salad
• Peanut Butter and Jelly (together)
• Cottage Cheese
• Deviled Eggs
• Turkey Stuffing
• Carrot Cake
• Meatloaf

I’m not sure what my problem is, but at least I know I have one.
