Wow those are some really interesting foods!
Oh Steffi, I feel your pain. There are a lot of foods that I have eaten in the past that have been quite strange. When I went to Japan I was staying with a family and told them I don't eat seafood...well, they bought me a breaded ball thing at a carnival and said I should eat it. I asked what it was and before they could translate into English I bit into it and it was a fucking Takoyaki. I was so disgusted. I ran to the nearest garbage can and spit it out. Good memories though. I am still traumatized.
I'm intrigued by the lentil cake... care to elaborate??
I've eaten a lot of... different... foods from when I was an omni too.
I'm adding you to my blog roll :)
