I’m guessing that because of the language difficulty, you also mimed
something like “Do you understand”, and the waiter took that as
“brains please”.

Nobody else found this funny? Good one Klaas.

Ah, maybe Kris had testicles rather than brains.
Over here we have Rocky Mountain Oysters which are bull (cow) testicles. They probably have similar dishes in Taiwan.

We have the same here, but they’re just Mountain Oysters, and they’re goat testicles. Taste quite nice with vinegar if I do say so myself.

But brains…that’s just ewwwww

Food for thought!

I know Kris (and Nathan, and many others) ate snake and dog when we were in China…

Be very very careful of what you order in China (and I’d assume Taiwan too)
Waiter, waiter, there’s a p***s in my hotpot

China’s exotic food industry has a new addition, a restaurant that specialises in animal extremities.

China’s increased wealth has brought a growing demand for exotic delicacies.

A new Beijing restaurant is serving up traditional hotpot with a difference.

Customers can choose from more than 30 kinds of p**is - including yak, donkey, dog, ox or even seal.

Although a meal can cost more than $500, the restaurant still boasts a loyal clientele.

Eating en* is said to improve everything from male virility to skin tone.

The new delicacy joins old Chinese favourites such as frog, silkworm, scorpion, dog and snake.

I’ve dissected brains (human) in anatomy class; which is well renowned for making students hungry.

Why does it do that?
Texture?
Smell?

'Allo,

Senor Kris, I admire your guts, I would never eat anything that looks icky myself. Now, about that sponsorship, I’m afraid I’ll have to turn you down, there’s this small bike company that wants to sponsor me instead and… this is nothing personal, so don’t feel offended please, I just like them better. Hope you understand.

Love and much kissies,

Dustin

P.S. This topic made me hungry… seriously, I ate an hour ago and I’m hungry again.

As a student I used to peel the meninges from about 20 pig’s brains
every morning, as the first step in the purification of a protein that
we were trying to crystallise. I /always/ felt hungry when I was
peeling them, but I’ve always assumed it was just because they arrived
from the abbatoir at about 10:00, which is when I’m about ready for
elevenses.

I’ve got a picture somewhere of me juggling with them. Unfortunately
I’ve never got round to scanning it, and the box that it should be in is
not readily accessible.
