Thank you sweet @beeyou. Your kindness is truly appreciated.
(don't ever try the embryonic duck egg - use the allergy card on that one... it's super gross and sad, it will break your heart)

Too late! Apparently, I was quite spoiled for being a farmer's daughter in a third world country in my toddler years. My delicacy of choice up to the age of three was the embryonic duck egg, which at the time of war and poverty, cost my parents a fortune with their small earnings.
Let's just say from what they told me (because I obviously would never ever have eaten them if I had known), I preferred the fuzzy ones. Super ewww. I am so happy I can't recall one moment of that time!
~hugs~ thanks for stopping by my blog. No one ever stops by except by favorite friends. Comment includes your significant other.
NO WAAAY!! Where are you from???
The real "fuzzy" one is the one I had as well... had to wash it down with a lot of rice wine. It was torture. I left the head... just couldn't do it.
My family is from Cambodia. I've never been myself. This was during the genocide in the 20th century. My parents were fortunate enough to escape the war and took refugee in a neighboring country's refugee camp. They later came to the US and worked hard to give me this superfluous talent to spend on steemit. :)
I must have been quite a brat back then. My toddler is a spoiled one in his terrible twos, so I can only imagine I must have been the same.
I can't believe you dared to try the duck egg! With help of rice wine, of course.
Have you ever tried the duck blood delicacy of Vietnam? My hubby and his friends enjoy that dish for gatherings. Back when we lived in California (in the US), they would order this dish from a home caterer. Apparently, the dish is made by hanging a duck upside down, slitting the duck's neck, while alive, draining the blood into a platter, mix it with ingredients, and let the coagulated blood 'cook'. It's some sort of dip with shrimp chips.
I would never try that dish, ever. It's truly inhumane.
I bet they worked hard... that's one hell of a tough life to live. They were very fortunate to escape Pol Pot and his psychotic Khmer Rouge troops.
"superfluous talent" HA! No way... you are a part of the positive changes this world needs - I think we'll all realize this in the years to come.
That blood thing sounds disgusting. Although I have tried "Boudin", the creole blood sausage, a few times. Not a massive fan, but it's edible... if you're starving! (I did try rat, scorpion, and - i'm gonna get lynched - dog in VN though)
Having grown up in the US I don’t truly comprehend their lives during those years of a ‘psychotic’ dictatorship and I know you used the description in the nicest way possible. Every day I feel blessed that I was given the opportunity to have a better life and to pass it along to my children.
Me being part of a positive change? Lol, why thank you for your positivity. I have yet to boycott cookies and Doritos 🙄. On my list to take gradual steps, I promise.
I’m only a speck of metadata in this Steemit world of ours. My belief though, if someone buys you a cup of coffee, you treat them back to one. Being anonymous on here doesn’t excuse your human morals being put to sh**.
Let’s hope there are no dog lovers on here. WOW. My respect for you has doublefold. I have yet to try those dishes. I think I will just ask you about the taste and texture for these dishes instead of experiencing myself.
