Back from Indonesia

Matt is home from from his trip...tired from all the traveling but happy to eat regular food again.

While he was gone he had the lucky opportunity to eat curried cow brains. He decided not to try the cow intestines, cow hooves, or the cow stomach jerky he was offered...I am not sure why:)

He did try a native fruit called durian.

This fruit is not allowed on public transportation or in hotels because of it's strong pungent smell.
It has been described as smelling like sweaty socks and tasting like rotten onions. It was one of the few foods that Andrew Zimern was not able to eat on his show "Bizarre Foods." Matt said the taste was indescribably disgusting.

Smart choices. Wow... I'm a bolder eater and I wouldn't eat either.
