And as always, we look forward to answering your questions at the end of the show.

1:03.0

But first, before we get started, I want to ask you guys a question.

1:06.0

I was traveling in Seattle last week with my son and we went to a Seattle Mariners game and he had read in advance that among other things they serve at the Seattle Mariners game.

1:18.0

The Seattle Mariners games are fried grasshoppers and he wanted to eat some and try them, which I thought was crazy, but he got some and he got them in a little cup and he ate them and you know, how they were and he said, no, they're okay.

1:31.0

There's nothing good nor bad. And I just couldn't understand why he wanted to eat them. But this is a delicacy sold at Seattle Mariners game. So it got me thinking, what's the most unusual thing that any of you has ever eaten?

1:43.0

So I'll go first. As you all know, I traveled to weird and exotic places. So I've had a lot of really weird and exotic things.

1:54.0

And I had a lot of foods that I could mention, but your story about the grasshoppers makes me answer with something that happened on my honeymoon.

2:06.0

We were, this is 1980 in China when China was just opening up and we were one of the only non Chinese in the hotel.

2:19.0

And we could only eat in a special dining room for anybody who wasn't Chinese and nobody spoke English. They served us this thing that looked like a giant grasshopper covered in orange sauce.

2:47.0

And we couldn't figure out what it was. We decided to taste it and it turned out to be a prawn. And then we ended up fighting over it. But we thought we were eating a grasshopper when we started.

2:58.0

It was, it was delicious and terrific. But that definitely isn't the strangest thing I've eaten. I've eaten horse in Uzbekistan. I've eaten snake bile in China. I've had marmite, which is maybe not strange, but has anybody tasted marmite. It's a very popular dish in Australia.

3:17.0

I only know about veggie mites from that song. It's sort of like that. It's sort of like that, but it really smells awful. It's definitely or there's durian fruit, which if you can get it in your mouth is amazing because the smell is so awful, but it's considered a delicacy in many countries.

3:38.0

We ate durian in Costa Rica and thought it was wonderful, but that smell was like you open to trash can. What's the strangest thing you've eaten, Joyce?

3:48.0

So I think Kim and I may have one in common, but I actually tried the marinated shark in Iceland that they make it essentially by bearing it in the ground for like four months and then they pull it out and it really smells like it.
