New Blog!

Hello everyone! My name is Marsha, and my husband and I are what you would call adventurous eaters, hence the name. My husband has always been more adventurous than I on the food front, but a trip to China last year changed me forever. We were in a city called Guangzhou in Southern China, which was formerly known as Canton (as in Cantonese). While we were there, our guides enjoyed teasing us by putting one "strange" food after another on our plates. Unlike most americans they encounter, we took the challenge and yes, even I ate everything they dished out. Instead of grossing me out, it turned me on to the world of exotic cuisine. Although there are some things I still will probably never try (unless a large sum of money is involved!) such as spiders and cockroaches, I am pretty okay with trying anything once. Some of the things I blog about will seem tame to other adventurous eaters, and other things might seem a bit odd to most. This is not intended to be a blog to disgust or horrify anyone, so if some of the foods we try don't seem up to par on the fear factor scale, note that is not our purpose. My goal in writing this blog is to help others see that just because something looks or sounds strange, or because you've never tried it before, doesn't mean its not wonderful!
