There is a great book called 'The Devil's Picnic' that covers the food equivalent of Lord Byron - mad - bad and dangerous to know. Unpasteurized
cheese from France, Nordic Raw Liquor, and other such interesting unregulated things.
For sheer manly fun though, nothing tops a trip to the canned drink section of your local Chinese Market. Beverages that pour out in chunks or have the look
and consistency of frog spawn. Best served in large brandy snifters to fully appreciate what you are getting yourself into. From the same location, the
thousand year old eggs are a nice touch, for those who really want the solid-wall-of-pea soup feel as they vomit them back up; you can be your own exorcist
remake. Durian is also a good challenge food. They are tasty, provided that you hold your nose and think about the solstice. Dwarves and Orcs play American
football with Durians; and it is one of the few fruits that you can use in hand to hand combat. Forget bananas and raspberries, give me a Durian and release
the tiger.
