I sense Ken would like it better if we stop talking about his past occupational "positions" and his massive shalong and turn to other types of meat. I will say he did and presumably still does have to wear three legged pants. Which leads to a little joke before we got on with the proposed topic swap:
Did you know that Lorraine Bobbitt does the weather now? She's predicting 6" will drop before sunrise.
OK, what is the most bizarre meat or meat like thing (insects, eggs, etc.) that you have eaten? No one wants to hear about the tube snake boogie here... well some of us might, but I'm talking about food.
My #1, as far as freak out factor goes, has to be the infamous Filipino Baulit.
@spankdaplank do you eat or have you tried it? It's a fertilized egg, partially developed. I only eat the slightly developed, not caring for bones, beaks and the white when it becomes what we used to call the "golf ball," hard and plastic like. It's the treat with feet. If you can't get some to try, you can at least enjoy watching others eat it:

#2, fried grasshoppers. These are very good. If I could buy them here, I would. Common free bar food in Thailand. Hold the little legs in between your fingers and bite off the rest. The legs are like fish bone to swallow.
#3 Cobra. Me and a couple of other sailors bought one at a street cobra show and took it back to the hotel to have them cook it. The Thais at the hotel made it too spicy. Otherwise, a lot of bone, little meat, and stringy like frog legs.
#4 Chocolate covered crickets on a stick, served by my nephew when he was an undergrad in entomology. Yummy! Tastes like chocolate.
#5 Meal worms. Booth by my nephew's had those and they were pretty gross. Watching my mom eat them didn't help.
#6 Frog legs. Stringy meat, like cobra. Not bad tasting. Chinese buffet here serves them, but way overcooked.
#7 Carp. Smoked carp is popular in Iowa. Not bad, but nothing like smoked salmon. Pan fried carp is pretty bland. I only ate fried carp when me and my teen aged buddies thought we were bad assed by not bringing food camping. Stayed out the three days we planned, it rained, and we never did it again. We almost ate tree rat, but it was the lst day and we passed on that and went home. Indiana is not the place to live off the land.
Amen Brudda...
