Seito No Tabeta Henna Mono (Strange Things Students Have Eaten)

One of the conversation cards had the question, “What is the strangest food you have eaten?” I shouldn’t have asked.

At a French restaurant: raw goat brain
Southeast Asia: raw monkey brain
Common in some parts of China: dog soup with head, teeth, eyeballs, ribs, paws, everything (”It tastes like beef.”)
Common enough Japanese food: pickled locust, raw horse

Leave your mark.
