Living in Azerbaijan, I REALLY like hearing this question.
It implies a choice, or if not a choice then at least a warning. Much better
than biting in and tasting something, well…something not expected.
While there
are many a delicacy here (liver, heart), I have been surprised by more
unexpected delights such as lung, testicle, kidney. I am from Colorado to testicles don’t phase me in principal,
but an unexpected bite into one is rather disconcerting and downright gross!
In this most recent case, on my trip to Lankaran, I was
allowed the option of saying ‘No, but thank you for asking!!!! Instead got my
gutab (a quesadilla like thing stuffed with stuff) filled with herbs. Quite
tasty considering the alternative --- which was stomach.
A gang of thugs we ran into on the street one night - but one of those things where you say "booo" and they all run away.
What a beauty!
