The three photos below might be considered much less appetizing by many readers. If you're at all squeamish, it might be better to stop right here and wait for my next posting. If you're curious, you might want to guess which one of these tasted wonderful, which one would serve as sustinence in a pinch, and which one I never need to try again. As always, you can click on any photo to see more from my Flickr collection.
A "turned" duck egg from the Ben Thanh Night Market, Ho Chi Minh City.
Dog, the other dark meat, from a vendor on Long Van St., Hanoi.
Fried silkworm larvae from a vendor in Psar Thmei, Siem Reap.
Dave, I'm going to guess that the turned duck egg was wonderful, no need to try that dog again (though I've heard that dog soup is good -- not for me though) and those fried silkworms would do in a pinch.

My guess:
wonderful: larva (though grubs don't have too much taste)
in a pinch: dog
don't need again: the turned duck (if only becuase of the consistency)
