I've had bull testicles. Not bad.

I'm not a picky eater, but I would draw the line at anything alive. For example, The Three Screams. Google it. Seriously. It will ruin your day.

Edit: I find chicken feet disgusting. That's something I wouldn't eat again.

That's just saddening. Or, to use the dictionary of obscure sorrows:

kuebiko

n. a state of exhaustion inspired by acts of senseless violence, which force you to revise your image of what can happen in this world—mending the fences of your expectations, weeding out all unwelcome and invasive truths, cultivating the perennial good that’s buried under the surface, and propping yourself up like an old scarecrow, who’s bursting at the seams but powerless to do anything but stand there and watch.

It certainly strikes me as barbarism for its own sake. Still, nothing can hold a candle to live monkey brains, another of southern china's wonders, but fortunately illegal now, unlike the three screams, which I understand is still common.

HOLY SHIT THAT'S A REAL THING? I READ ABOUT IT IN A DEAN KOONTZ BOOK YEARS AGO AND THOUGHT HE WAS JUST TRYING TO BE CREEPY! GOD DAMN CHINA!

Sadly, yes, I'm afraid so.

This is a much happier version of three screams, so to speak:

Thank god, my curiosity has a limit.
