World - Foods You May Not Think To Eat Poem by Paul Warren

There are some foods that you would not want to live to eat
That get stuck in your throat yelling expletive words in your greet
In Australia it is Vegemite that is a black paste spread on toast
In some Asian countries there are insects fried up in their boast
In Alaska they eat fermented blubber buried in the garden near
And China has cooked thousand year eggs with whites not so clear
Then in Africa there's drinking blood straight from the living cow
And there is the Scandinavian fermented fish in a can some how
If you weren't from these countries and were presented this dish
Would you be courteous and eat these meals as your hosts would wish.
