I don't believe in reincarnation. I think we're on this planet one time. You may as well shake things up a bit, try new things. Of all the weirdest things I've eaten, I think the grossest thing out there is probably raisins. Yuck. Sad little zombified grapes.

The Chinese think we're crazy for eating cheese. They're not wrong, if you think about it....

Well, I’d rather have a cheeseburger than rats or bats, brother man. :-)
 
China clearly wins the horrifying world food contest, but cheese making is pretty horrific. Not everyone knows you have to extract a baby calf’s stomach to obtain the rennet that you need in order to make cheese. I believe in a sort of version of reincarnation. I think when I die, I will get reborn as you, in the past, as a baby, then after I die as you, I will get reborn as my grandma, in the past, and so on, going through every person living or who ever lived or will live, living every single human life in history one at a time from beginning to end, but it actually happens all at the same time, sort of in the blink of a giant God eye in space.
 
Nothing wrong with eating cheese. That's just crazy.

I was out to dinner with some Koreans and they got my colleague to eat a live baby octopus, and that baby's tentacles were apparently sucking his throat. He had a very hard time with it.

More than 20 years ago, I ate a live baby eel as a special delicacy as the guest of honor at a Korean wedding reception. Chew hard and chew fast and have the soju at the ready to wash that bad boy down.

Oh, and I was not friends with Tony like some of you, but I met him at a few shows and had some pleasant conversations with him. Got pulled for a couple of his knives. In addition to being an important figure in the knife making world, he always struck me as a real good guy and down to earth, too, although he would have had every reason to have a huge ego based on his accomplishments. RIP. :(

I have a friend, a young guy, former Marine Captain, who was having serious cholesterol problems. His doctor was considering prescribing medication. So recently he went back to the doctor with his blood work and the doctor notes than his cholesterol had gone down 50 points. The doctor asked him if he had been doing anything different. He said, no. Nothing at all. The doctor asked him if he ate meat and my friend answered that he ate meat at least three times a week. What kind of meat? My friend: Well, I shot a moose earlier this year and that’s what I’ve been eating. That’s it, said the good doc.
