What is the "wildest food" you have ever eaten ? a marinated beef caratid artery. I was eating with my in-laws in Japan at one of those meals of many many little delicacies and pickles etc....and found one of the presentations served on a tiny dish.....to be chewy....rathr like rubber bands.....I didnt know what it was and asked...none of my Japanese in-laws knew either.....the waiter was called and I saw him gesturing to the side of his neck.....and then the answer was translated--caratid artery.
Oh I just read ahead, if wildest means from the wild.... I had sashimi served that was so fresh .... that the fish from which the sashimi had been flayed.....was mounted on the serving tray and his gills were still moving and his tail fluttering....(I asked to have it removed from the table....I like sashmi....but that was a bit to close to the wild for me.
