It's another reason why traveling to exotic places is not very high on my to-do list. The food that is consumed in some of these places is generally disgusting enough to nearly put me off of mine. Ugh.
If I took a vacation to the islands I assume they have fish and coconuts and pineapples and normal things, so that's still on the list. Just haven't made it yet.
I've been to China. Ate a lot of chicken, pork, fish, beef... rice... various vegetables.. amazing preparations all around.
Your attitude is dangerous and ignorant... luckily only for you.
Oooookay.

Visiting a place where people eat food that one finds strange or disconcerting doesn't necessitate eating that food oneself, you know. Especially these days, pretty much anywhere on Earth has at least some elements of its cuisine that Americans would consider more or less 'normal', or at least interesting and worth trying out if not.
Honestly, I'm sure. I'd hunt Mediterranean cuisine first, Italian second, vegetarian third.
I thought it was really obvious that my comment was intended to indicate a general distrust of the cuisine in an area where eating horse, fox, dog, and Lord knows
what else is acceptable. That's all. I mean I thought it REEEEEALLLLLY obvious that the intent was to convey that, and that it was perfectly understandable.
Every now and again around here a warning or whatever will go out to watch this or that in Chinese food or that some Chinese restaurant was caught using mystery meat, so to wonder a little about what you're putting in your body in a country where eating that stuff is acceptable is just prudent.
It's just sensible.
You know, I'd call a bacon cheeseburger disgusting too. Not edible? No. Disgusting? Yes. So whatever.
