Huhu grubs look like oversized maggots ...taste like peanut butter. See, now, me, I'd just buy myself a jar of peanut butter if I had a hankering for it.

I can well understand. When I was there I consumed mainly those dishes like tempura that most Americans like; though once in a while I diverged into something as far out as squid

Squid rings can be found at most takeaways or fish'n'chip shops. Paua fritters, pineapple fritters, But a disturbing trend in suburbian auckland is deep fried battered mars bars. Now hows that for fine kwisine?

the discussion tab on this wikipage is a fine example of everything that's wrong with wiki.

Can you transcribe the conversation? I'm taking an enforced wikibreak by hostfile.
I exist! I am a pedant! I have a foreboding signature!

I am also from the South and I share TheFallibleFiend's distaste for okra. I don't like the flavor and I don't like the texture. I do like sweet potatoes though. I grew up not eating grits because my parents don't like them, but when I had cheese grits for the first time in North Carolina (as part of a delicious dish called shrimp & grits) I loved them.
I don't like liver. For one thing, cow liver smells like human liver and so it reminds me of autopsies. I had jerk chicken once in a Caribbean restaurant and it had a slight hint of wintergreen in it that reminded me of gross anatomy class. (They add some wintergreen to the formalin these days.) I was unable to finish the dish despite a valiant effort. Sushi doesn't bother me, but it tastes bland and I have never understood what the fuss is all about.

The only way I like okra is a slice of it that's about a sixteenth of an inch thick, nestled inside at least an inch of deep-fried batter.
Hey, Olly--how come your site lists pistachio ice cream in with things like fish eyes, cicada, and venison tongue (one of which resided in our freezer one year)?
