Live grubs in the Amazon. You turn them inside out with a stick, and eat the fatty insides, spitting out the hard head. Yum-o (not).

Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
The most memorable taco is the last good one I had, which was a lengua at my fave new joint in Waltham, MA, Tacos el Amigo. The bomb!
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
pizza, most definitely. I ate it with relish as a kid, and it was the first thing I learned to cook, also as a kid.
Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'
Other than pizza, you mean? I guess it would have to be Spaghetti Alla Carbonara, with homemade guanciale.
Cook the Book: 'Beyond the Great Wall'
The furthest/most exotic place I've been is the Ecuadorian Amazon, where food was not quite the most interesting thing on the menu, if you know what I mean. I did eat live ants and beetle grubs, neither of which I can really recommend. The fruits down there,however, mango, papaya, guanabana, etc. were the best I've ever eaten.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
On a business trip to the Philippines my local coworkers insisted on me trying the local delicacy of Balut(fetal duck egg). While this may sound like the most exotic i'd have to say that really it was later in the night when i ate some chicharon bulaklak which is deep fried and is apparently a fatty sack that covers the small intestine of a pig. It was actually quite good and definitely better than the balut.
