Did I Really Eat That?

Ok, ok, I know I'm supposed to be writing about my amazing time in Ecuador, but this just came up a few days ago and had to write about it. I promise my next post and the few after will be all about my travels!

So I came home the other day after my Physical Fitness class to something that I have never seen in my household. Ever. I don't know how to put it out there better than how my teenage sister put it: "It's balls... on a MALE lamb!" Teenagers these days...

Yes, you read right. This was in my kitchen. At first I was in shock, but then, knowing my randomness, I wanted to try it! So I did. They were cut up, fortunately, because I don't think I could have ate them as is, and just sauteed them in vegetable oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Simple as that.

So my mom finds my random ways odd. Apparently I'll eat anything that I can get my hands on, which is so not true! ;) I did not eat the ants that I was told to try recently in the Amazon. I got stung by 3 of them last year in Brazil and it wasn't a pleasant feeling at all! So there, I do have my limits! And this comes from the person who bought these and likes them as well! I get it from her.

What I thought? Not bad at all. Soft and easy to eat. Too easy. Practically melts in your mouth. Would I do it again? Sure, why not. Once in a while is fine. Apparently it is normal to eat this in the Middle East, as in other countries in the Eastern Hemisphere, so I don't find this gross at all. I encourage all those picky eaters out there to try this! I tricked my other sister into trying it and the look on her face was priceless! (I get my joking side, no doubt, from my dad.) She liked it, but it was just funny to make her try it first, not knowing what it was. She loves me still. So now, I say just DO it and give it a go.
