If you ask me, weird foreign food is the biggest obstacle to world peace. No matter how globally minded and culturally tolerant and respectful I am, my stomach waves an American flag at all times, and shouts anti-weird-food slogans at passersby.
Hi Suzie,
I brought a bag of Cherie's chocolate chip cookies and a tin of cooked (I think they're cooked) silkworm pupae to the office today. I'm betting the cookies go first.

Hi Henry,
As luck would have it, I was just sitting down to eat my Lean Cuisine
Everyday Favorites Roasted Chicken with Lemon Pepper Fettucine when I read
"silkworm pupae." What's the story with that?
Suzie B.
Henry: Sorry. I was at the Hyundai Plaza and wandered into the market section.
It's more specimen exhibit than grocery store to me, with row after row of
"seafood" that looks like something the gulls would fight over, and I found
a can of pupae (extra fancy) that was too loathsome to pass up. I grossed
Cherie out with it for a few days them brought it to work.
Suzie: Ooh, that is so disgusting.
Henry: They are hideous and steeped in vileness. If the picture on the can is accurate, they're brown shiny pupae, and when you move the can they clunk into each other like they're packed in water. Yeech.
Suzie: Eeeww.
Henry: I'll bet there are millions of Koreans that find them delightful.
Suzie: No, there aren't. They're just faking it.
