Japanese crab
I tried Japanese snow crab in Nagoya. You eat the leg raw with wasabi. Yummy. Then you boil the body (sukiyaki) mix with other vegetables. After that you use the leftover soup to boil a porridge. Now the soup is so sweet with crab & vegetables flavor, it makes the best porridge I've ever eaten. To top it off, drink cold sake 
I got to do this every February. Am I lucky or what?
Different jobs
Watching Deadliest Catch, Dirty Jobs, and Hazard Pays on Discovery Channel. I like those shows!!!! I always like to see how people earn their life differently. And make me realize how good my job is. Sometimes you got to see the bad to realise how good yo...
Hhehe the Alaskan king crab show is awesome
I think I watched it twice already. You ever watch the show where Andrew Zimmern eats all these unusual delicaties on his show "Bizarre Foods" on Travel channel? Cheers, Anthony
Best meal of my life was Alaskan king crab . . .
. . . on a weekend afternoon in Alaska circa 1974 . . . the crab that we consumed that day was caught that morning, and if I could ever relive a culinary experience, this would be the one . . . cordially, Art
I have tried tried the Alaskan King Crab several times and love it>
truly. There is one which is at least equal in taste: the white snow crab of Perth/Australia. Equally a big crab where you eat the legs only, preferably with pepper and salt, quite expensive but wonderful in taste. I was in Perth several times and each ti...
My other favorite crustacean would be South African crayfish, Lord Arran . . .
. . . which I enjoyed twice at Ciccali's in Manama. Unfortunately, being afflicted with gout has curtailed my enjoyment of shellfish . . . cordially, Art
That's my fav also
I tried: 2 weeks boiled egg, boiled lizard, water coakcroach in guangdong, sea worms, snake skin stir fry, stinking beancurd, horse meat in Japan, raw beef meat in Holland, etc. The best meat? Chicken! KFC to be precised cen@jkt
The stinky tofu I cannot stand!
Ah man, I tried stinky tofu twice and each time I smelled and tasted the stench while gulping down the tofu. Very nasty IMO :P But some people LOVE it! Cheers, Anthony
The tofu is wrong on levels....
The stinky tofu ranks up there with durian. No really, it's rank! Not recommended to even my worst enemy.
Agreed and yet not agreed
Stinking tofu is bad, but durian is super yummy Try Malaysian durian, the best in the world. The aroma & sweetness are superb. If you take the over-ripe durian, you can get alcohol taste (the sugar fermented already). Yummy yummy cen@jkt
I seem to recall that in Indonesia you were not permitted...
... to fly with durian because of the stench. Now if only they had stopped the El Salvadorians from flying with boxes of fried chicken.... It was like taking flight in a KFC eatery.
KFC
I like KFC (well, trained to like it) because it's the 1st fast food chain to hit Jkt in 1970's. So maybe I'm used to the taste. They say the food that you ate while growing up is the one that you like the most. The way we eat the chicken is different her...
