me and my dad were driving through the boonies in central mexico a few years ago... we stopped at some hole-in-the-wall restaurant for a quick lunch.
the menu listed a soup that the waiter assured us was "carne de vaca" (beef), and i guess it was beef... in a loose sense.
turns out the beef was the spinal cord and arteries/veins of the cow floating in a beef broth. the little pieces looked like noodles. my dad, trooper that he is, downed the whole thing w/a smile. I even had a few spoonfuls and it wasn't half bad.
God, i love traveling... who knows what culinary mysteries japan will hold this summer?
