Ugh! I have to turn the channel sometimes too. I wonder sometimes how safe that "food" is for a human to consume!!! I can't stand things that are funky in texture, something with hard bits in the midst of something soft, that alone would make me gag! lol

I've wondered that, too - like if the people have to sign some release that they won't sue if they get ill? :sick: LOL! I think some of those 'parts' are boiled (gag) - not that that makes it any better. LOL! Unreal that they say some of that stuff is considered a delicacy in some places. (insert throwing up smiley here :lol: )

Speechmom ::: ... :goofy:
NOOOO offense taken here ... lolol
I learned back in grade school not to be offended after it hit me that NOT all kids were being raised as I was .. lolol but I still get a good laugh outta all of it. Especially when I read the ingredients on a package .. :roll:
But I do agree about some foods not to be eaten. And I dont care for eating them or even attempting to eat them myself. Like the chocolate covered ants, or those spider thingys they were eating on that show once... yuckieee !!!
But my sil showed me a book once where alot of these items are considered "delicacies" in other parts of the world. Even down to eating tarantulas ?? DON'T THINK SOOO !!!!
