I love to see what other cultures eat. However, I can't say that I am one to jump in and try the exotic. For the most part I am not too picky of an eater, but texture really gets to me. I've yet to try any kangaroo here in Australia, but that is more that I am afraid that the next time I run into a &#Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542884740418230212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-78640655378719690632010-03-22T23:41:18.472+08:002010-03-22T23:41:18.472+08:00Hi "Eliza Bennet" --

My mother occasionally served a treat to us - we just knew it as Roe. It was some time before I realised that the "hard roe" was fish eggs, and the "soft roe" was "eggs" from the male fish!<br /><br />The meal you show looks very much more colourful than the roe my mother served.Dragonstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935435587527038459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-11232601766186573542010-03-19T03:32:15.503+08:002010-03-19T03:32:15.503+08:00You are entering into true Bourdain territory here...You are entering into true Bourdain territory here.
