I do a fair amount of travelling. I've been placed in social situations where I was presented things to eat that I would never consider eating. I've had blowfish sashimi, seaweed, live prawn, chicken with the feet still on, eel, warthog, whole small fish (eyes, scales, guts and all), and I don't remember what else. I've seen other cultures serving various bugs, brains, rats, etc. I've seen dog butchered and hung for sale on a sidewalk. I've seen live scorpion under glass for selection to be cooked as a meal. Different cultures have different taboos but the people closest to nature typically waste almost nothing. Is that wrong for some reason? Think of the Eskimos utilizing a whale or a seal. Or the Masai drinking cattle blood.
Anyway, I stumbled across this article about a food truck in Amsterdam that specializes in utilizing what would otherwise be waste. I thought it was interesting. Amsterdam Food Truck
I guess that boneless skinless antibiotic-free organic free ranging chicken breast in a vacuum sealed bag is somehow superior to these other products of nature. Right?
I'm not saying that I like all that stuff...
