It is surprising the things eaten in different cultures. For example in Red China I had the pleasure of being served a white broth soup with "meatballs" floating on top. The Chef was very proud of the presentation of "Scalded Goat Testicle Soup" The testicles are not cooked but scalded about 25%. Not knowing what this delicious looking dish set before me was, I cut one "meatball" in half and placed it in my mouth. The taste was overwhelmingly pungent and gross. I could not swallow it and offended the Chef. Another "Ornamental" delicacy,That I have not had the pleasure of consists of the stomach of a freshly caught large tuna fish that before it is removed, it is tied at both ends, so as to not loose the contents. I think it is then cooked and served over rice. Considered a delicacy and only served in the finest restaurants....at a premium price! Very little goes to waste in the Eastern Culture!
