到底何谓文化遗产?难道只有历史悠久的建筑物才算是吗?那么比较人文的喜庆节日、地方语言、日常饮食或生活习俗,可不可以也被申请为文化遗产呢?我最不想看到的,就是国家级官员为了吸引游客赚外汇,才去申请。到头来,我们只在这些‘遗产’中,看到游客的足迹。而当地人,沦落为对遗产毫无认知,只会做游客生意的一群。
I ate Balut! (or Pong tea khon in Cambodian). From wikipedia, 'a fertilized duck egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell'.
I never thought of it being disgusting! It tasted like just a normal boiled egg. At some point, I found myself eating something chewy. Was it the head?
It's something that should definitely be recorded in my own Book of Records! After eating the fried insects in Bangkok & now Balut, what exotic food should I try next?
