mhmmmm, some of these sources of food sound and look tasty to me, while others aren't on my 'to try' list.

I once ate drunken shrimps whilst in Hong Kong.
King prawns still alive and wriggling were delivered to the table in a caserole dish. A cheap Chinese clear coloured spirit was poured on top of them and the caserole lid was put on as the prawns started to get very "active". Within 30 seconds the prawns were a lot more mellow and that's when the waiter struck match and set the spirit on fire. He placed a lid (with tiny holes) on the caserole dish and the prawns were now bouncing off the lid as they were cooked alive. I say "cooked" but it was hardly that as within another 30 seconds he removed the lid, strained the spirit and dished.
Not sure I'd have eaten the "drunken shrimps" had I not been the proverbial "drunken Scotsman" at the time, but from memory they tasted quite nice :)

I had drunken shrimp in Hong Kong as well. Interesting experience.
I've not eaten any of the things in the article and I'm feeling kind of grateful for that.
What I have eaten that is very difficult to describe to people is Durian. I had that in Singapore and Malaysia. A lot of people hate it but I enjoyed it, it was kind of like eating a cross between a really strong onion and a sweet peach. But the aftertaste lasts for days....
