Planes, Trains, and Automobiles: The Food

I have had some interesting food. Some things I like (such as sushi and cooked seafood) and some things that I don’t (such as ox intestine). That was a mistake. Some people here think eating the body parts of animals is healthy for that part of your own body. Eating intestine will prevent intestinal cancer. Eating monkey brains will make you smart. I’ll let you guess why the men eat ox penis.

A popular food with the locals is Stinky Tofu. They love it. They admit it smells bad, but think it tastes great. They say you can’t come to Taiwan without trying the Stinky Tofu. I would recommend you don’t and just say you did. I took one bite and had a very hard time getting it down. It tastes as bad as it smells. A lot of the food, especially at the night markets, smells bad. There is a lot of unidentifiable raw food that looks like guts. The sushi and cooked seafood I can handle, but when I need a break from that I resort back to the good old American food. With a little bit of searching you can find a Pizza Hut, KFC, Domino’s, Subway, Burger King, and of course McDonalds.
