Ed! Long time no see! Hang around here a little more amigo, you’re missed. I know you’re an Opera chap, but still. There must be a little room on your PC for this lost WP soul….!

He ate turtle? Andrew Zimmern, or another presenter? I have seen a wildlife program with a presenter catching, killing and eating a turtle. Too much for my eyes. Change channel time….

Croc and armadillo are just the start of it. Iguana, snake, skunk, possum….!

Bar Chon does serve a half decent plate of Enchiladas Poblanas if you can’t quite get up the courage for something a little more risque

We serve faggots in the UK, you know.

Well foremost congrats on the notice from the Travel Channel. That’s really great.

I’m still pissed at the Bizzare Food guy for eating turtle in Japan.

Bugs, armadillo and mole??? Oh, well, I’ve eaten crocodile, springbok and kudu so I guess I shouldn’t pass judgement.

In Taxco, they serve humiles, a type of ant egg. I’m not sure of the season, though I think my Mexican friend had some when we were there in February. I declined.

Later he was sick, and while I’m not 100% sure the humiles were to blame, aside from that we pretty much ate the same thing. I was fine.

I’ve been tempted to go to Chon when in DF, but have yet to work up my nerve.

Where the local food isn’t all that bizarre, but sometimes the names for it are. Grinders anyone?
