When I was in the USAF - I had an assignment to Osan Korea (ultimately was canceled), I told my wife that the first thing I was going to do was to pick out a dog to eat. Not that I've ever eaten a dog, to the best of my knowledge, but since at some point in time I knew I was going to eat one - I at least wanted to pick it out. I suspect that I have eaten many things that I didn't know what it was - I guess at the end of the day "ignorance is bliss".

If you've never been to a 3rd world country - you'd be surprised at what you'll eat after a couple of weeks. You learn quickly to not ask any questions, just eat it and hope you don't get sick.
