In Thailand I was offered a roasted monitor lizard at a graduation party at the end of the final FTX for RTASF students. I popped it in my mouth remembering the training I had received concerning insulting local customs. As it turned out I was only supposed to suck the meat off of the legs. It didn't bother me much. I guess that was the reason for the warm cobra blood and mekong.
