Omena has one more great value that its not nutritional, it makes you academically bright! And am not making this up, especially if you dont remove the head while preparing them. Great article

I love sushi and all, but at least they don’t have eye balls when you eat that dead fish. We can’t wait to see you! Travel safe.

This is why some people are called to go on missions trips and others are called to stay home and pray for you.

Ohh…I’m so glad I tried omena before I read this article. Now I’ll have to come up with a very happy place to block out the hint of fisherman sweat. At least my host family recognizes that it’s an acquired taste. I’m still working on it!

Eating Nemo…my kids will be so upset.

And yes, that stuff does look like Playdough.

I always love the inside looks into different culture’s eating habits.

In general, I love Kenyan food. I LOVE ugali, all types of stews and veggies, irio, nyama choma. And hand me a chapati any day! But… I haven’t had omena… fisherman sweat… really? You’ve ruined it for me.

Fisherman sweat! Nice mind picture there – especially as it involves the tastebuds. Having eaten some wierd, chewy, squiggly things in my life – many vivid memories came rushing back! Thanks for the rush.

Reminded me of the mopani worm we were expected to eat in Zambia (think caterpiller). Yummmm. so many chewy little legs to pick between your teeth.
Yet, this is what they must eat. Wow – once again I’m reminded of my blessings and the greater needs before me.

LOL! Nothing says haute cuisine like a bowl of Play-Doh and old fisherman sweat with a side of idiot Ted.

World Next Door meets Bizarre Foods!

Thanks Bar…started my day with a laugh!

btw…do you serve red or white wine with Nemo?
