Am over in Taiwan right now doing product development, and yesterday went for a Muni ride north of Taipei. Basically we grabbed a bus and headed north out of town with a bit of advice from a Taipei MTB site. It’s always cool to go riding in a new place and we headed up into a forest into the drizzle, amongst jungle and Bhuddist temples. Anyway, we rode for a few hours and then came back through a small town for a meal. Not knowing the language we went into a small shop and mimed “feed me”=). The server brought out some tasty bowls of soup, which was great as we were feeling a bit dehydrated, and we started eating. Mid way through we started noticing what we were eating- most definately brains. I have no idea what species, but now I can say that brains are actually very tasty =).
Thats awesome, I plan on going to Taiwan in the next year or two and that now adds another thing to add to my list of things to do there along with a nice long ride and going to the toilet restaurant.
wow kris, you always get to go ride at cool places.
i always wondered what brains tasted like… a few years ago in china i had some wonderful (but strange) meals like this, usually with full knowledge of what i was eating. Besides, what could be worse than what we ate on our trip through france (snails, frogs legs and cheese )
wow! that wooden track is awesome… is it like riding stairs or more like the snake run?
Wow, cool trail, reminds me of a few places at Mt. doug. Of course it is rock at mt doug and not logs. In any case the logs give it a very tropical look, very cool !
P.s Was it slippery ?
thanks

I ate chilled monkey brains right out of the skull like in indiana jones. they where good but would have been better hot. and to everybody who is gonna all be like " go away all you ever say is CHUUUCCCKKK NOOOORISSSSSS" just give it a rest this time. kris holm probably isnt all pissed at me because i like a martial artist. so like there you go. kris will back me on this one.
Hey Kris, that’s great! I was just talking to Roger last weekend at Mondo about riding in Taiwan. Told him how cool it looked the many times I’ve flown over. That is so cool you guys are there today and actually riding!!
