The tortoise
Things I have eaten:
Sparrow heads (beak on)
Bee larva
Cow vagina
Bull penis and testes
Duck head (halved)
Frogs (whole, skinned)
Sheep brain
Dog (skin on, bone in)
Milk
This, of course, doesn't include all manner of organ meat. I've accepted both liver and intestine (cow and pig, respectively) as acceptable meals in the absence of a suitable alternative, though stomach and lung (cow/chicken and horse, respectively) are still completely unpalatable.
Basically, I've really surprised myself at what I'll eat. I have, apparently, also surprised many locals. Upon receiving my declaration of openness to culinary abortions, I have been regaled with tales of literal abortions hitting the dinner plates in Guangdong province. That, and monkey brains, fresh from the open skull of a live creature, held down while boiling water is applied through a newly drilled hole. Hmm, perhaps I'll draw the line soooommmmeewheere.

The challenge continues
Four days down. I'm hungry. And considering beer costs 1000 ougiya, or two days' allowance, booze is out. Livin' like the locals!
