Here's a collection of strange

Here's a collection of strange recipes — included are both recipes with exotic ingredients (cow udders, moose noses) and kids' recipes for thinks that look gross (Cheez-Wiz based "Boogers on a stick"). These kinda remind me of PJ O'Rourke's account from Holidays in Hell, of being taken out for glasses of cobra blood in Singapore: "You're probably wondering what cobra blood tastes like. Well, it tastes like chicken — blood."

	LOCUST BISQUE 
	
	1 gallon locust shells

	1 clove garlic, chopped 
	1 celery stalk 
	2 carrots  
	1/2 tsp. powdered mace
