What’s the weirdest or most unexpected thing you’ve eaten while traveling? For me, it was fried tarantulas in Cambodia—surprisingly crunchy, not so surprisingly terrifying. What’s the most adventurous food you’ve tried abroad, and would you recommend it, or is it a one-and-done kind of thing?

I'm too much of a baby for anything like that! I did give haggis a try when I was in Scotland.

like

Scotsman here - best way to eat haggis - accompany with mashed potatoes and mashed rutabaga(turnip) - tatties and neeps - with lots of butter, salt and black pepper

Then pour a shot of whisky over the haggis

For me, fried locusts or grasshoppers in Mexico called chapulines. Then comes Philippines where I had balut- half fertilized duck egg with seasoning, which I puked soon after.

Calf brains - Romania. It was a welcome dish offered to our group, apparently a delicacy.

This was in ‘94 - our hosts didn’t know much about American culture or preferences. Was quite a time.

Rattlesnake infused tequila - Mexico
Goat intestine - Turkey

A giant BBQed grub in the Amazon

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?
