When I was in Shenzhen at Seaworld, the restaurant on the boat had servers circulating offering different dishes. It was there that I first tried cow tongue. I took a lick at tasting it but I found the meat cheeky to the pallet. The following 2 pictures is from Meizhou.

Arnold, I have the same feeling. Menudo isn't bad but I imagine she will pass. I am thinking on my next trip I'll take a jar of pickled pigs feet. Course she'll probably like it. Really many of these meats like tongue is a texture thing. There are certain texture that I just do not like.
Ron, thats funny. As it says in the good book "the tongue has the power of life and death." :o Not sure what it means to this conversation but thought I'd add it.

I wonder what would happen feeding you guys Huhu grubs?
shaun:
Hmmm..... I'll bite! ::) I'd feel like a Huhu bird? Your biggest worry would be if I flew away and I took a Huhu dump. ;D
April 2010 when I was in China for the first time I ate some sort of worm. I was surrounded by two lovely Chinese ladies, one of them being Peggy of course, and one well... she was female and lets leave it at that. They ordered several dishes there and when I dipped into the one that looked like worms I asked Peggy what it was and she looked at the other female whose English was quite good. She told me that she didn't remember the English word for it. All three of them sat there and watched me. I did what any normal red blooded America man would do when facing beautiful women. I sucked it up and ate them. They all giggled and asked me if I liked it to which I replied by shoving more into my face. They were white live worms with some kind of sauce on them and the taste was absolutely disgusting but I ate them with a smile on my face. I did notice that Peggy didn't eat any of them. Hmmmmm...........

I am not exactly sure what a " Huhu" grub is....maybe it is similar to the Wichetty grub which is a prized Aussie delicacy.....
Having also suffered numerous "food" experiments delivered by my new Chinese family, I will insist that Ming has a good feed of Wichetty grubs when she finally gets to Perth !!!
If she throws up...maybe I will get my face back ;D ;D
