Most Extreme Food

[KJS]

Northern Thai hilltribe laap, made with raw pork, pig's blood and herbs. I have a rule that I never say no to food offered by a host, and as when I sat down with some folks for a game of Thai rummy and moonshine, that's what was offered.

I didn't know what it was at the time. My Thai friend (who politely refused it) told me later. Not the best thing I have eaten--cooked pork laap is much better--it wasn't awful.
