My internet has been extremely slow lately, so it's really hard to post. It's still slow actually. I suspect someone is stealing my internet.

Gosh, how I love Christmas

Sugar Cane Rat

I was watching Bizarre Foods on Travel Channel, and this restaurant in Uganda serves this rodent. I've never even heard of it, but it's HUGE. They can grow up to 18 pounds and feed on grass. Not surprisingly, it wreaks havoc on sugarcane plantations, so farmers actually fiercely protect the pythons that they unleash in the fields to eat the rats.

Good stuff.

The Japanese Natto Bean

I see a commercial for this stuff quite often, and each time it grosses me out.

I only knew it by its Chinese name, na dou, until I looked it up on the internet, and turns out it's Japanese. Apparently it's really popular over there. Supposed to be nutritious, full of protein, and dates back quite a long time. Smells like strong cheese, but doesn't taste like it. It is made from fermented soybeans that are mixed with a certain bacteria.

Not surprisingly, it is an acquired taste.

My mom said she can't handle eating them. Her mom would try to make her when she was little, and she could never do it. Personally, I don't think I could ever eat it either.

Bad enough that it smells like ammonia, but it looks like it's covered in spiderwebs or some sort of internal body mucous. It reminds me of the insides of that giant worm you fall into in Gears of War 2.

Okay, so I totally couldn't resist and cheated; I'm posting 2 photos today instead of 1.
