Real Ethnic Food

Yep.  This the true story of what happens when a fair-skinned person walks into an ethnic restaurant and orders HOT food (3 pages).  I have seen versions of this with multiple friends.  Me, the closest I get is having people stare at me when I eat crystalized ginger root as candy.  Link courtesy of my_partner_doug (who likes not just Food That Commands Respect, but food that coshes your respect over the head and drags it into a dark alley to rifle its pockets for loose taste buds).

Yeah, I've had this conversation repeatedly:

Me: "Taco con lingua, por favor."
Waiter: "Do you know what that IS?"
Me: "It is a tongue taco. Please bring it to me now. I stopped here because you have that on the menu."

Same thing happens with sesos (brains, which I don't order anymore, alas) and occasionally with goat. I have to be careful with my digestive system, but let's say that my food philosophy was not programmed by mainstream America.

I adore tongue.

I must admit I have not yet gotten the nerve to try brains. :)

Goat is yummy.
