I went to the Explorers Club Annual Dinner that had exotic yet
non-endangered "morsels". I was late but got to eat scorpions on endive and
crickets on little pickled corn ears - both quit good. I missed muskrat
(heard it was good) and a whole lot of other interesting things. Generally,
I'll try anything if a culture eats it "except" chitlins - smell them a mile
away and can't get closer (even after people say "these are the best").

buon gusto

I'll usually try anything once-- I'm looking forward to a muskrat dinner
sometime in the next year. I've been assured that, cooked properly, it's
delicious. I figure, after jellyfish and snails, the muskrat shouldn't be
bad
at all.
