Favourite Foods:
Gluttony truly is my favourite sin, and I love to try exotic new foods. Many of our friends and family cringe at the fact that my wife and I really enjoy sushi (unagi is one of my favs!). I have also eaten buffalo, camel (it was about as tasty as one might expect from one of those unpleasant creatures), elk, deer (venison chili is far superior to beef chili), squirrel, rabbit, kangaroo, ostrich, emu, frog (legs), alligator, crocodile, turtle, crayfish (known as crawdads where I grew up), Australian's infamous Witchetty Grub, and more types of fish and shellfish than you could shake a stick at. When it comes to more mundane things like beef and mutton, I once even had the Lebanese delight known as raw kibbi ... which my digestive system found quite undelightful.
