Yum!

From my book-a-day calender entry on Anthony Bourdain’s book A Cook’s Tour: In Search of the Perfect Meal:
To get a little excitement back in his life, he went on a globe-trotting expedition with a camera crew from the Food Network, recording his experiences as he consumed some of the world’s most peculiar meals: a cobra heart washed down by cobra bile in Vietnam, a deep-fried Mars bar in Scotland, sheep’s testicles in Morocco, roasted bone marrow in England, poisonous blowfish in Japan.
In what universe is a deep-fried Mars bar in the same category as a cobra heart and sheep’s testicles? I would be more than happy to try a deep-fried Mars bar, but even before I went vegetarian I would not have tried anything else on that list.
