Sunil and friends -- I'm not as old as DD, but I'm not too far behind. In all these years, I've sampled a lot of foods and liquids, on all continents, and on many islands.

Some have been good, a few have been awful.

For other Navy and sea-going dudes/dudettes -- to make it across certain borders usually requires a fun-loving ceremony. I went across the the equator and international dateline simultaneously. The last step of making it to the real party, was to suck (and eat) an olive and a sardine from the hairy belly buttons of a pair of US Navy chiefs.

Thankfully, I like both olives and sardines, and I like swimming in a very clear and blue ocean.

There are a lot of great foods and drinks. There are also a lot of really bad foods and drinks.

Think about the TV series by Andrew Zimmern and Bizarre Foods. He and I could have been food twins.

How many other Golden Shellbacks are out there? Any Blue Noses?
