Foreigners Report on Taiwanese Food

The foreigner dude from the movie travels around the world eating some disgusting shit. His name is Andrew and he actually enjoys what he eats. The first, and only food that he could not bare, he found in Taiwan. He tried the stinky tofu, but could not stand to continue to consume this wretched food product. After this initial taste of Taiwan Culture, he traveled to a night market and eats chicken butt, oyster omelet, coffin bread, grilled shrimp, roosters’ crown, unlaid chicken eggs, chicken head, and chicken uterus. His reaction to all of these ‘unique’ food products was the same, good. He ate all of them, and enjoyed all of them. The chicken uterus was the mans favorite, but not mine. After the night market, he traveled to a small town south of Taipei, Tea Town. In this town, Andrew was shown the process in which their tea was made. Then he tasted the towns favorite, which he liked. After he looked at, sniffed, and tasted the tea, he he goes to a special restaurant whose food is all made with tea leaves and tea oils. There, he enjoyed many dishes with tea products in the recipe. After eating a bunch of food and drinking a lot of tea, he travels to a new aboriginal town, Hot Spring Town. In this town, he goes to a nice hot spring and soaks in its relaxing waters. Then he goes to a restaurant with all aboriginal foods. He gets help from a woman ordering his meal, and receives three dishes. He gets deep fried bee’s, bamboo salad, and two-week old raw fermented pork. He said that he really enjoyed the bee’s, because normally insects have a gooey, chewy inside, but these were crunchy all the way through. He also like the salad. Andrew was a little scared to try the aboriginal meat, but tried anyway, because to experience another culture, you must be willing to try their food. He said that the two-week old raw fermented pork tasted just like thin cut beef with lemon juice sprinkled on top. The aboriginal meat was the last thing that Andrew ate in Taiwan before returning home.
P.S.- Somewhere in the middle up there, Andrew went to Taipei 101 and ate a lot of good looking food. He ate Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese food there. And on his way out, he stopped at the grocery section where a woman offered him pigeon eggs. I forget if he liked them or not, but whatever.

“If you see something that looks good, eat it”
