    @jegga nah wasn't shark on the episode I watched but was probably longer...the foodie doing the show wasn't a fan though.

    I wonder what it was then ? The shark dish is pretty famous and sounds disgusting.

    @jegga not sure what fish (probably good sized Kahawai size) just knew it wasn't a shark - they had taken the main meat off the fish and then put the carcass in the sack.

    The dude on the show loved food and gushed over pretty much everything except that and some local delicacy in Philippines

    @jegga surstromming or something? Was working with a Swedish guy a couple of weeks ago, reckons it's alright but not worth the fuss. You have to open the cans underwater or else evacuate.

    @bones a guy on a podcast I listen to kept a deer in a chiller for a year then ate it. They cut an inch off the outside and ate the meat inside , reckoned it had the texture of cheese .
    Same guy cooked and ate a coyote too.

    You're not listening to the right podcasts, you want the ones like this one if we're talking extreme eating.

    I've read a fair bit about that crazy bitch, the cops who were first on the scene needed psychiatric help afterwards.

    @mariner4life

    I have a ready made map for you, and I'll update it before you come. Just pm me beforehand.

    If you are going to Hokkaido, you should also get @MiketheSnow to give some suggestions. I think @Samurai-Jack is in the fucking sticks near Utsunomiya, so he's probably pretty fucking hopeless except for suggesting you try the gyoza, which is fucking Chinese anyway. No doubt he'll show up with some great recommendations now.

    nice!! nah, just Tokyo this time. Direct flights out of Cairns for absolutely fuck all. Coming for a week. I am actually really looking forward to it

    Only two matches in Sapporo. I've got tickets for the England v Tonga match.

    Then fly down to Tokyo for Wales v Australia.

    The Sapporo matches will be good and Sapporo will be lots of fun, but shortlived.

    Taking ageing to the extreme. You do notice the difference in tenderness in an aged steak but you wouldn't want to see the meat before they prepare it for cooking.

    I think I'll be at the Wakes/Oz game - wearing red and drinking with a bunch of Welsh birds. Beer at the ground?

    She certainly disproves the theory that it's only the hot ones who are crazy

    @gt12 I'll have you know that if Utsunomiya was in NZ we'd be the second biggest city. Still the Tokyoite bastards call it the sticks. The gyoza here is the best of course but culinary-wise nothing beats Tokyo.

    @mariner4life My wife was so sick of my preaching on the subject she took me to a seaside sushi shop and said "eat this!" I did and then she told me it was whale. Tasteless shit compared to other sushi. The whale bacon sold in some supermarkets is OK though.

    I've had Irish oysters in Ireland and still prefer Bluff but then I flew to Bluff from Akl for the day just to eat oysters.

    Agree about paua done well it's very good. Havent been able to try rotten cray and to me that is illogical.

    Pretty much the only thing from the sea I can't abide is sea cucumber although I haven't had whale. I have had seal and it wasn't great.

    I don't have an issue with eating different foods dog was OK insects are / can be good - Cobra blood shooters are just an excuse to brag.

    Croc is OK but a bit bland - like snake. Roo ostrich all the darker meats are good. Balut is actually quite nice although very rich. Heard mixed reports on guinea pig sparrows a lot of effort from not much return

    Guinea pig is similar to sparrows/partridges/other-small-game-birds... decent enough, but the effort/return ratio is dubious.
    Piranha - way, way too much effort for fuck all, and the little shits are still trying to kill you after they're dead... tiny razor sharp bones.
    And yeah - croc/snake/tortoise - pretty bland.
    Had whale in Iceland... can't remember much about it, which I guess is a review in itself.
    Roo steak - excellent... seems strange the ockers don't take more advantage of that. Are the wild ones disease-ridden?
    One thing very high on my list of things to try - koala. I figure it will be fatty shit, but just the looks on aussie's faces would be worth it.

    @Bones Yeah it's not a fast drop like in turbulence, because the autopilot was flying it. But it was only 1500' above the ground with a target of 0!

    At that rate/altitude - they had another 35 seconds or so before the autopilot "landed" the plane.
    No problem, clickbait "news".
