wierd, the things u do abroad

i was jus thinkin about all the times i've eaten something out of politeness...
c normally i'm v fussy about what i eat, salmon is about as adventurous as ill go when it comes to seafood and as for meat nothin more than chicken or lamb well done (i'm quite a simple folk).

but when i'm abroad i find it rude to say no to food that the locals offer (if its halal), so i've eaten seafood like squids, crabs, oyster sauce (and goodness knows what else) because often ther's also a language barrier and u dnt wanna be acting out every animal to see what your eating!
so i've ended up eating wierd things like yak cheese, camel meat and most recently i was eating with my host family who were the nicest, politest people u'd ever meet and also very insistant.. they bort food to the table and it looked like medium-rare meat :s ..."its ok, i've been in this situation before and i've eaten med-rare beef and it was quite nice" i said to myself

and so i didnt want to think abt it 2 much and manage to cut a small piece and i put in my mouth, and it wasn't normal meat...it was som organ! :s i could see the pinky-ness of it, it wasnt even seasoned with anything or washed and i could see (wot i thort) was the blood on the plate and i realised that i had the rare heart of som animal in my mouth!!!
ewwww i still remember wot it tasted like, and i couldnt swallow it but i couldn't not swallow it coz that wuda been mega rude. so i jus kinds was swirling it round my mouth wen they started noticing, so i just bit a huge chunk of bread and swallowed it all without chewing it! urgh
