"Pastilla" the best ever food (Arab) I've eaten. They do put doves in it however.

Q: While we're at it, what about doves? A: Probably delicious. I'd recommend it roasted rare. This is actually an ongoing parochial interest in my neck of the woods. Note the cute little sidebar on widovehunt.com : Dove Recipes * Dove Stir-Fry * Dove Kabobs * Bacon BBQ Bird * Sauerkraut Dove * Dove with Mushrooms * Skillet Dove Though the gun lobby is strong enough here to get handguns allowed in the deer season, they seem to have been at least temporarily foiled in the courts on this one, dnr.state.wi.us Of course, if you watch Bourdain's tv show at all, you know he'll eat anything. Still-beating cobra heart in Saigon was a favorite. Looking that one up, I find this cute little postcard that even has modest FA relevance, along with random tidbits for various armed conflict fans. I just got back from Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia and am leaving tomorrow for the next leg of eating round the world. A few days ago, I was in Khmer Rouge controlled autonomous province of Pailin--NOT food, folks and fun I can tell you. More like land mines, hard looks and sinister guys in fatigues bristling with automatic weapons. Vietnam, on the other hand was a wonderland. Ate duck deep in the Mekong Delta with some former VC, swallowed live, still-beating cobra heart and washed it down with the cobra's blood and bile (Really!). Almost forgotten how to eat with a fork in a chair. In Phnom Penh, went drinking and shooting at a para camp/bar where the menu offers your choice of weapons--got to fire off AKs, M-16's (with grenade launcher), m-5- machine guns, 45. autos, even a Bond era Walther, and toss a little HE around. Been places that made Kurtz's compound and river trip in Apoc Now look like midtown Manhattan, the Siem Reap to Battambang trip by flat boat up ditch-sized river and canal system followed by the Wages of Fear type road to Pailin (complete with hanging bridges built of rotting wood) with added pleasure of roadblocks, checkpoints, frisks and threat of bandits. I wanted a mission--and for my sins they gave me one. Charlie, by the way, DOES surf. Da Nang has a surf event and the waves near Nha Trang look promising. Cocktails on the rooftop of the Rex in Saigon between eating tree grubs and uterus and duck fetus and durian. All of which, I'm assured, makes you "strong". I'll be travelling pretty much nonstop for a while--but I'll be in UK for two weeks beginning of June and I am at your service for any extended interview promo whatever--You want me to stand around in a tu-tu, biting the heads off live chickens? I'm all yours. Best of luck with the book. Sounds like something I'd like. Shooting people in the head from a great distance has always interested me. best, TONY users.waitrose.com
