I avoid dodgy food as much as possible too – to the extent that I sank so low as to subsist on good old dependable MacDonalds while in Bangkok (although their Big Mac had a fish patty – weird!). If you ever make it to South Africa, be sure to try out a mopanie worm – definitely a taste you won’t forget

I love dining on the food of the locals when I’m traveling. Most of it is benign, though. The most exotic thing I’ve ever consumed was a sheep’s brain.

I once spent a weekend in Siena with two Kiwi’s. Each night I’d head off in search of good honest Italian food, (I mean, we were in Siena for pity’s sake, there was plenty to be found) and each night they left the campsite and went straight to the only McDonalds in town.

And these guys had travelled pretty extensively too, God knows how’d they fared elsewhere if pasta and fish was too exotic for them.

I’m heading for South East Asia soon, and although I love Asian cuisine here in London, I read and hear tales of barbecued bush baby, deep fired spiders and fermented swallows and I fear I’m yet to see the whole picture.

I’m all for a bit of experimentation, but I know my insides, and my guts will let me know very quickly if I’ve crossed the line!

Oh my, love this series. Darn honest of you to admit flaws, so many travelers (including myself) thinks we’re up for anything. Not so. I’m sorta lucky, being a pescetarian eliminates food conflicts.

I’m a scared food eater, too. Mostly meat products, but 100-year-old egg might do me in, too! In bocca al lupo!

All I got was dog food. You can dish it out but you can’t take it.

Eating the food is THE best part of the trip. I once ate balut in The Philippines which is an egg embryo, so its like seeing a baby chick in a gooey egg without a beak or feathers.

I will be honest. It wasn’t good. But it was a memory.

Maybe I just need a good coach! Culinary coach. I like that!

The 100 year old egg really isn’t that bad. I have it in my congee and sometimes I add a little sugar too.
