But there's a time and a place. <br/>Last Sat. I lay bed (in Manila) with a bad case of stomach flu (no, it wasn't street food). Dave informed the folks who were to drive us to the airport (a kindly, grandparent-type Filipino couple) we'd be delaying departure for a day. The wife half, concerned for me, wanted to ask me if I was OK. When I said I was fine, just a touch of flu, she said, sadly, 'Ohhh...does this mean you won't be able to eat the pig brain omelet I cooked for you this morning?' General nauseousness turned into a dire need to vomit and I couldn't get off the phone fast enough.<br/>I'm not I'll ever be able to eat brains again.

I also love pig brains soup brewed in a lot of julienne of ginger. Maybe it's because the pig's brain in never used, that is why ppl believe it still has lots of memory power in it. he he he!!!!<br /><br />Team BSG, eek!! flying animals and the rest of those u mentioned ... doesn't go well with me.

There is a place in Penang, Malaysia which sells the "paper" thosai in two sizes -The Star or NST. It was hillarious when the guy asked me what paper do I want. <br /><br />~ Aileen ~ Yummy, I miss the paper thosai from Malaysia!
