That is completely, undoubtedly freaking disgusting!

Having said that, I have spent over a year of my life in Africa and I have eaten some sketchy things. One instance stands out: I bought some somsoas from a guy at a train stop in Tanzania. They were so good that I went back for seconds and thirds. I remember that they were greasy and filled with "beef" and onions.

I wonder what I was really eating....

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

Fried stuff in those places is probably safest. The heat kills the pathogens. I got crippling dysentery in India, from vegs. and unfried foods ....nearly killed me.

I own a real estate development that has it's own sewer treatment facility. Part of the process includes a grease trap and a conventional septic tank before the "black" water goes into the treatment process.

The grease trap catches most of the cooking oils and greases but guess what else gets collected? All the human oils that the human body and hair produce and are washed off during bathing.

Though it is illegal, some people also occasionally dump used engine oil and some oil based paints down their drains, either directly or when cleaning brushes, rollers etc.

White = human. Yellow = cooking. Black = motor oils

While this "slurry" is still warm enough to be in a semi-liquid state it all looks kind of yellow like you can see in the video. As the flow slows and cools, each of these oils/greases float to the top of the tanks and collect and somewhat solidify into different layers that has the texture of cottage cheese...along with used condoms, baby wipes, plastic tampon inserters, plastic external liners from sanitary napkins/panty liners, plastic Q-tips etc. Get the picture:?

From what I could see in the video, the lady was collecting the yellow slurry with some "floaters" in it. Makes me hungry for Chinese food, how about you?

I would have never guessed this possible. I work for a municipal electric utility that also does water and sewer. This is a greater or lesser problem at our five thousand (if memory serves) lift stations. The bigger problem occurs in stations serving residential areas and much more occurs in majority black areas. Don't ask me why, I don't know. We have folks who drive around with a vacuum truck and suck it out of the wetwell. They call it "cheese", it's a kind of an off white semi-solid. I don't know what they do with it. I wonder if I could buy a truck load or two a week, get me up a little side business. Smiler

Based on EVIDENCE...not just opinion...it would appear that there is NO level sufficiently LOW.. to which some Chinese will not stoop to make profit. Poisoning our pets with chemicals in pet food, poisoning THEIR OWN CHILDREN with chemical additives in milk.
Doesn't it make you feel all warm and cozy that they now own the largest pork producer in America..(Smithfield Foods)..??!!

You have to wonder how much of this stuff Anthony Bourdain or Andrew Zimmern ate filming their travel shows Eeker


"Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson.
