What's with those preserved eggs in China? "it's a thousand years old, it must be good"...good thing they don't apply the same "logic" to the Vietnam war era chicken parts they find frozen once in a while.

It makes no sense that crab is on that list... It's the smell that gets me. The tofu and Chicken feet just smell so bad.

I tried pretty much all of those... Liked the crab and the fish head... the chicken feet thing kind of grew on me for something to chew on while just waiting around in a restaurant for others to finish. Rest is pretty bad.
