1. What is the most adventurous food you've ever tried? Either fugu or pirarucu in a cassava broth. Fugu is fatally poisonous unless it is prepared just right. Pirarucu is an enormous fish, that is sometimes served in a stew made with cassava, which must be carefully squeezed, washed, and squeezed again to remove the cyanide before cooking.

2. What is the most adventurous food you'd be willing to try? I draw the line somewhere around insects. I have eaten fried crickets, but I couldn’t do raw larvae. I can’t even cope with raw oysters. Texture matters to me.

3. Would you have a problem eating dog meat and why or why not? Dogs eat all kinds of stuff including other animals. I think that will have an impact on the flavour. Also, I don’t see the point when there are alternatives. Even dogs raise to be meat are too much like pets for my comfort; our social taboos would kick in big time.

4. For the most part, do you consider your diet to be balanced? Yes. I should have a bit more fruit, but I’m pretty conscientious about my veggies and whole grains.

5. Which is more appealing: being a vegetarian for the rest of your life or being a strict carnivore for the rest of your life? I would much rather be a vegetarian. I do not want to die of colon cancer.
