In a way, it is all about what is acceptable to us. For a Muslim pork is as nasty as it gets. For a Hindu, beef flesh is detestable. Some of us have phobia with eating insects, animal flesh, etc. while other don't and in many cases relish and enjoy them. Some even eat genitals. 

South of Kitty Market, after Panchoosingh's shop, there was a Chinese restaurant. In 1982 a friend and I ordered fried rice with a serving of chop suey. First time for me, that chop suey, and some cuts of meat were sweetish and rubbery. I pointed it out to my friend and he said it could be rat meat. I didn't want to hear more. Walked out of that place faster than Jagdeo can walk out of parliament. 

The rat soup was unknown to me when I visited Mexico many years ago. But green roach sauce was widely used then. The green roach is an insect taken from plants that resemble an insect that I remember seeing on baigan plants in Guyana. I can't remember the name. They would grind the roaches live and add other ingredients and serve it on tortillas or tacos. I believe I ate it unknowingly until I discovered what the sauce was made from.  Them seh wah nah kill ah fatten.  

How many of you have eaten "ceviche" or know how it is prepared? It's a Peruvian delicatessen. 

Making notes to stay away from Mexico.

You duz eat cats, the Rev duz eat sushi. Wonder if they are one and the same.   Maybe not one but the same. 

Mexico is a beautiful place with its own culture, music, and food. People are free to indulge and experience different things. It's not compulsory to do things against your wishes. Besides all the great things about Mexico, you will find the women much more appealing than any delicious meal on the menu.

The Rev and me once dined at the same restaurant, in fact for the main course we both shared one plate

As they say, sharing is caring.

Now I know why Nehru does behave so bad, it is the Rat Soup!

The ones with horizontal mouths or perpendicular mouths?

Why did Guyanese use to say that Chinese' are cross way?

Keffer probably has a bowl of that soup every morning before taking his box of dry goods over to the white Arab's house.
