Sorry, you probably already know this. 19:12 - Jun 16 with 1088 viewsShawsey

I was watching border control Australia, nothing else on, and they stopped a China man who had Bird Nest in a bag. They said that Bird Nest, as in Bird Nest soup, is bird spit. They collect it from caves where birds congregate. Bird spit. Crazy.

Think you meant 'Chinese man' buddy.

To be fair, they did refer to him as a China man. I appreciate the correction though.

Going back to your point though, I work with a fair few Asian-Americans and they are certainly far more experimental in what they consider to be good eats than I am!

One fella was even threatening to bring a durian fruit into work!

I had to google that. A very smelly fruit that is banned on public transport in many countries around the world. Not bird spit though, is it.

Did you watch some of the videos of Americans and Europeans trying to eat it? I almost bought some once, just to see...

I'm just saying, it's about perspective I suppose. Is it really any weirder than cows milk? Or honey?

Not exactly a squeamish bunch are they?

I've seen some photos Lucan kindly sent me from his last trip to China.

Some of the food looked really nice, and some of it I didn't even recognise as food.

He offers some interesting anecdotes on the subject if you can ever pin him down.

In China, chicken gristle is considered a delicacy...

https://www.mychineserecipes.com/chicken-gristle-taste-review-and-cooking-tips/

"While we regularly see people eating only the flesh of the chicken, leaving the gristle and bones out, the craziest aspect is that chicken gristle is the best part."

Having inadvertently tried to eat some in Beijing, I'm not sure I agree with this.

I have bought and eaten durian, it is pretty much a 'must do while you are in Bangkok'. It smells, it tastes good but it isn't in any way comparable to Battenberg (the cake).
