There's a few things there I don't recognize the name. I'm mostly a picky eater, but traveling around the world, I've learned to try anything (other than shellfish, allergic) at least once. Some of the best foods I've had have been in absolute dives, that you wouldn't take your worst enemy into by the looks, but great food.
