I'm about in the middle of taste-adventurousness. At one end would be my friend Tracy's husband who picks out all the spinach ravioli from the blend because 'they are green'. At the other end would be an ex-boyfriend who did a lot of business travel in Asia and reported back that deep-fried bamboo worms looked and tasted like crinkle fries.
Anyway - it was in Tokyo at a place called "Tofuro" with my brother, his fiance, V, my parents, and some other people. It was one of those places that you order and receive a constant stream of little tidbits while the main event (tofu) is boiling in the middle of the table. We were chuckling over one menu item, translated as "chicken rump". I mean, what could they possibly have meant? Birds don't have rumps, per se, they just kind of end in a point with no muscular rounded 'tocks like you might see on Monica Brant, or say, Instructor Foxy were you to sneak an ogle at him in the mirrors while you're supposed to be stretching and he's kicking the heavy bag. Ultimately, we decided that they had MEANT chicken 'lump', like a McNugget or something. Aside: you do actually see 'L' and 'R' switched on occasion, my grandfather once gave me an English version of the daily paper which happened to have an article about the Scorpions who I was partial to at the time. I could not figure out who "Ludarf" was supposed to be and puzzled over it for a bit.... Oh, Rudolf! duh....
Chicken Lump, right. So V and I ordered the chicken lumps and sure enough were presented with some fried lumps and I bit into it and at the first taste of fatty globularity all polite modest Japanese female dining behavior abandoned me and I shouted, "it's a chicken butt!" and spat it out. Yes, folks, it was the globby blobby fat part around the anal sphincter that you'll see hanging off the skin of a raw chicken right at the mouth of the body cavity. I did not even realize this was a dining option for my people. So I guess it's not really the worst thing I ever *ate* since all I really did was scream, "Chicken butt!" and spit it out again.
