I think, they are really the reason, why I taste things other people 
call eatable, before refusing just by the thought!! i tasted them 
first when I was 10. My Grandfather ordered some in a restaurant, 
asked me to taste. When I said I love them, he told me what they were.
I was too proud to just say I won't eat them! I still love them!

But I was on a holiday in Tunesia, where they served brain!! I *did* 
taste a spoonfull. YUCK!! Never again!!

Mecki!
