Reply #34: I LURVE black pudding (blood sausage), haggis, sushi, raw beef. Not Durian

[Pert_UK]

Seriously......good haggis is fantastic, I had it for breakfast nearly every day when I was working in Scotland!

Black pudding can be good (it can be bad). I've got a great photo of me eating fried blood sausage in a small town in Yunnan province, China - bought from a woman who was frying it in the street.

Sushi RULES - what a pure, fine, delicate treat!

And as for raw beef - carpaccio (very thin slices) or steak tartare (done properly) are fantastic flavours!

What's wrong with you???

Durian fruit is hard work though. It absolutely stinks - like a garbage bag full of rancid fruit. The first taste is similar to the smell, but once you get over that, the 2nd taste is nice. It's a bit like custard, but vaguely pineappley and bananary. The major drawback is that when you then belch (and you will), it tastes like rotten fruit again.
