Ha Ha. How did you know my favoured fishing attire!? Jumped on the boat....it nearly took my arm off before i totally merked it. It had been 'gaffed' hence all the blood.
That is one funny post for so many reasons.
I marvel at your skill with the urban tongue. I was never brave enough to use 'merked'.

Muesli. When I was a little boy, I used to have a hamster - called Fluffy. He/she was so cute, white and fluffy. However, when I cleaned out it's cage, I put the mixture of sawdust, hay, droppings and hamster food waste into the bin.
It is wrong now to market this as a health food.

I haven't read through all 15 pages of this, but there is very little I will not eat (as long as it's food - I'm not going to eat my bike). I'll give anything a try. I've eaten some wierd things in my time. Lots of seaweed in Japan (real seaweed, not the deep fried salty cabbage they serve in Chinese restaurants in the UK), horsemeat sushi, grilled sparrow and fried cockroaches and stick insects.
Has anybody tried the Japanese dish natto? It's basically slightly rotted soybeans. I used to eat it by the gallon when I lived in Japan, much to the disgust of many other gaijin.
It has the consistency of sticky sick and smells like a pair of socks if you wore them for a week of hardcore biking without removing them, but in spite of this has a delicate flavour. It's also "live" like yoghurt, so very good for the gut and digestion.

+1 grew up eating this stuff. Delicious, good for you and cheap. You can get it from the freezer cabinet in the Japan Centre in Lower Regent St.
Had horse meat sashimi in Tokyo, didn't taste of much to be honest but it wasn't bad either. Also had cod sperm sac in Chiba which was rank.
I think the only thing I have eaten which I couldn't finish was steak tartare, raw minced beef, mixed with raw egg and raw onion on toast. Basically an uncooked hamburger patty on toast. Now that was vile...0 -

I think it's cheaper at the Rice Wine Shop on Brewer Street! Japan Centre is always that bit more expensive for most things... Raw horse meat had a buttery flavour I thought and was very soft. Never had sperm sac!Do not write below this line. Office use only.0 -
Other things that I'd happily chuck into room 101:
Celery - pointless vegetable
Peanut Butter - Suitable for filling holes in walls maybe (like steak tartare ), but not for human consumption.0 -

The sperm sac came (ho ho ) in a small bowl so I could hold my nose and down it in one go. The steak tartare was an endless stinking pile of raw meat that never seemed to diminish no matter how much I ate. I managed to hide some of it under lettuce leaves and other garnish!0
