Subject: RE: BS: Strange foodstuffs
I've eaten that rotten Moroccan meat - K'fia. I'd almost (mercifully) forgotten that experience. I was staying with a family in Kenitra, Morocco. As they were preparing dinner, I noticed a stench. When it was served, I realized it was dinner that I could smell. I asked what it was and they replied "This is a special type of meat. We leave it in the sun until it's strong.". I didn't want to offend and I actually choked it down somehow without retching. Other than the usual "Montezuma's Revenge" symptoms which I had already anyway, I suffered no ill effects. I don't think I could manage to eat that nowadays though, no matter how much I wanted to be polite to my hosts.
