Pigs, And Parts Beyond

Tonight a couple of the guys from the office took me out for some drinks. Originally we'd planned for karaoke as well, but we ended up not doing that. I can't promise that I'd participate in something like that, but it'd be fun to go.

So we ended up going to some random local bar and having some random local beers...

We ended up having quite a few random local beers, actually. It turned out to be a really fun evening of absorbing local culture. And what absorption of random local culture would be complete without strange foods?

I told them that whatever they order I'll try. Unless it's a partially formed bird in an egg or something messed up like that. As long as it's food I'll try it. So here's me eating the fried small intestine of a pig:

At least, it's supposed to be from a pig. It could be some sort of mock pig. It was pretty good, though. One of my companions that evening told me that it was a little over-cooked. I didn't complain. So, not to settle for just one strange thing, they ordered more:

The white plate at the top has fried pig ears. (Again, potentially a mock pig.) And the skillet at the bottom has a mixture of finely chopped meats from (purportedly) a pig. I'm told it's supposed to be mostly the face of the pig, but they can't guarantee that at this establishment. Awesome. Either way, it was pretty good. For me, the funniest part was the establishment itself:

Aside from the great picture of a chicken and a pig being bestest friends, it's called Chic-Boy. Seriously, what is it with this place and lady-boys?
