Some parts of this chat are not for the squeamish!</p>\r\n<p>Next up I talk with Jacky Lamenzo about comfort food when we travel and about her experiences of eating like the locals when she was a teacher in China.</p>\r\n<p>Finally, I talk with Matt and Marilyn from Words With Winos about some of the more unusual foods they have tasted on their travels around the world, particularly in Asia - and if you don't like creepy-crawlies, you may not want to imitate them! </p>\r\n<p><b>Links:</b></p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>My tasty sponsor <a href=\"https://bokksu.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Bokksu</a> –  <a href=\"https://bokksu.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https://bokksu.com/</a><b> - </b>remember to use THOUGHT5 to get $5 off any order of amazing Japanese snacks</li>\r\n<li>Eva’s blog Not Scared of the Jet Lag - <a href=\"http://www.notscaredofthejetlag.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.notscaredofthejetlag.com</a></li>\r\n<li>Jacky Lamenzo - blog post about her food experiences in China - <a href=\"https://www.jackylamenzo.com/blog/2016/6/20/my-foodiversary\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.jackylamenzo.com/blog/2016/6/20/my-foodiversary</a>  </li>\r\n<li>Marilyn and Matt’s site Words with Winos - <a href=\"http://wordswithwinos.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">http://wordswithwinos.com</a></li>\r\n<li>Episode 62 on Foodie Lessons from Travel - <a href=\"https://notaballerina.com/62\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https://notaballerina.com/62</a> </li>\r\n<li>Episode 23 on Foreign Food - <a href=\"https://notaballerina.com/23\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https://notaballerina.com/23</a></li>\r\n<li>Episode 1 on Food in a Foreign Language - <a href=\"https://notaballerina.com/01\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https://notaballerina.com/01</a></li>\r\n<li>Join our Facebook group <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/thoughtfultravellers\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.facebook.com/groups/thoughtfultravellers</a></li>\r\n<li>Tweet me @amandakendle</li>\r\n<li>Hashtag #thoughtfultravelpod</li>\r\n<li>Follow me on Facebook at <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/NotABallerina\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.facebook.com/NotABallerina</a>   </li>\r\n<li>Show notes: <a href=\"http://notaballerina.com/106\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">http://notaballerina.com/106</a></li>\r\n</ul>","author_name":"Amanda Kendle"}
