1. What is the most adventurous food you've ever tried?
For me, learning to enjoy spicy food has been the most adventurous activity. I used to flinch at the mere sight of a chilli flake. These days I can eat a madras curry.
2. What is the most adventurous food you'd be willing to try?
I haven't tried much in the way of cooked insect, but I've read that they are crunchy and delicious, so would like to try them someday. Keiki and I once saw an old video of David Attenborough eating a honeypot ant, and we'd both like to try that too.
3. Would you have a problem eating dog meat and why or why not?
Context is important here. If I needed protein and it was the only option, I'd eat it. Or if it would be culturally offensive to refuse something I was being served by my hosts. I don't draw the line on any particular food solely because of its source.
4. For the most part, do you consider your diet to be balanced?
Yes, although my portion sizes tend to be too large, so I'm working on reducing them.
5. Which is more appealing: being a vegetarian for the rest of your life or being a strict carnivore for the rest of your life?
Definitely the former. I would not like to experience the state of my digestion with the latter. With veg, fruit, grain and pulses, there is a lot more readily available variety, and if eggs and milk are allowed I would miss very little apart from seafood. The veggie substitutes for meat items these days are genuinely amazing, unlike twenty years ago.
