Ärende: wierd stuff
===================
 ML> i have, however, seen him eat tambilok (aka mangrove worm), klia, and
 ML> nutria... pretty (ummm) wierd stuff, there... there's also the
 ML> deepfried day old chickens, soup #5, uok (aka coconut grub larvae),
 ML> stuffed frog, and cuy (aka guinea pig) ;)

 JW> I would imagine nutria and cuy could be pretty tasty, much like
 JW> rabbit or squirrel.

 JW> But what's "klia"?

let's see...

it is morrocan... and...

===== quote =====
he (andrew zimmern) practically hurled on klia, which is a meat that is salted,
dried, preserved in its own fat, and then cooked with eggs. he said it reeked
of dead flesh.
===== end quote =====

(kinda sorta like hot dogs)

also, i see that it is actually spelled K'lia... the above is really all i can
find on it... everywhere, all over the internet and even on discovery.com's
site...

i did find that it is apparently a pretty popular name as well as an acronym
for Kuala Lumpur International Airport...


here's a li'l quiz that we might be able to participate in... however, not
knowing what they taste like, it might be rather hard to vote ;)

===== quote from discovery.com =====
We asked Andrew to compile a list of the top 10 worst (palatable) bizarre foods
he has ever eaten. Check it out and then vote on which dish you think is the
most bizarre.

Durian is an extremely odoriferous fruit with custard-like flesh.

Klia is a mystery meat that is salted, dried and preserved in its own fat.

Mangrove Worms live off of dead wood pulp - they are eaten raw.

Callos is a casserole made with blood sausage and tripe.

Coconut Grubs is larvae that live in dead palm trees.

Menudo is soup made with tripe and beef hearts.

Goose Intestines on Bean Sprouts is essentially Goose guts.

Nutria in Sauce Piquant is a large semi-aquatic rodent.

Soup No. 5 is a soup made from the back and testicles of a cow.

Haggis is sheep heart, lungs, liver mixed with oatmeal and stuffed in the
sheep's stomach bag.
===== end quote =====


wish i could find more on it... perhaps mLoo can shed some light?? with all his
traveling, i'd be kinda surprised that he hasn't been around it O:)
