Just came from the MySpace Jax Foodies October meeting. The theme was disgusting or strange foods.

The picture above is a durian fruit. A very stinky fruit from far away, but as you bring it closer to your nose (I swear) it's less stinky and more fruity. Doesn't taste bad, and it's almost creamy.

We also had 1,000 year old eggs, which aren't actually 1,000 years old. But they do look and smell fairly awful once you get the shell off. It looks a bit like a black jelly. Only one person was brave enough to try it, and she said that it tasted the wya it smelled--which, to my nose was pretty bad.

I brought kim chee from Koja Sushi, probably the best place to get it in town.

Plenty of other stuff we tried, but those were the strangest highlights.
