I know a lot of people who love chicken livers. My dad was one. I've had beef liver once. It was awful and I have no desire to eat it again.

Brains and scrambled eggs are considered a delicacy by some in this region. My grandmother used to fix it for my dad.

Brain is popular in Mexico too....and honestly brain tacos aren't too bad!

I've had the opportunity to order brain tacos more than once, but I never have.  For some reason, I've assumed it would be rubbery, but a quick online search reveals that's not the case.  I'll definitely give it a try next time I see it on a menu.
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.

Texturally they're very soft.  Kind of overripe avocado-ey.

China's various local cuisines deserve an article to themselves:

Great article, thanks for sharing!

My brother spent years teaching English in China and introduced me to a place (in LA when I still lived in southern Cal) serving Sichuan Hot Pot. Be still my heart, that was an amazing meal!

I'm glad you liked it. Personally, I prefer Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, but that's rather difficult to come by in America.

Out here (San Jose area) we used to have a chain of outstanding hot dog places (mostly drive-through) called Ben Franks; their heyday was the early '80's.  It's shrunk down to one today -- the original, on El Camino Real in Redwood City -- but the dogs are as good as ever.  I've made several trips up the peninsula just for the cuisine!
