I haven't, and unless I lose some kind bet, I ain't ever gonna either. I've got a few associates who have had it, enjoy it and were genuinely incredulous when the EU banned it; they simply couldn't understand the rationale, since it was a normal thing for them to enjoy, I assume since childhood.

Not that I'm knocking it or anything, but I generally am not that adventurous when it comes to food. So, if I can help it, no live shrimp, balut or insects, though I've had to eat some things for business that I'll likely never share with anyone, and if there's ever a time I've thought about therapy, this would probably be it.
