I live in Malaysia and want to add some things to the list. Cattle parts.
I have had buffulo brains (in coconut milk sauce), cow hoofs (soup), stomach (soup).
A friend of mine has eaten cow skin. The skin is smoked and dried to preserve it. Its cooked in a kind of soup. Bull penis soup is also availible, called "torpedo soup".
I'm from Malaysia and durians are wonderful :). During the fruiting season, you find them everywhere in supermarkets and on the roadside.
Not sure if it counts as a gourmet food here because the goring rate is about 10-20 Malaysian ringgit for 3 fruits. Of course this depends on the quality. A good durian should have a soft or slightly firm flesh with a uniform colour. The flesh of most durians are yellow or a variation of the shade but some varieties are red or even blue (very expensive and rare, I've never seen any).
Birds nest soup is also available in Malaysia. Traditionally they are collected from limestone caves using bamboo ladders. If I'm not mistaken, traders use to come from China to get them. Nowdays they are more or less farmed. People make buildings that look like caves then collect the ensuing nest. They are called swiftlet hotels. To attract the birds the 'farmers' play recording of other swiftlet communities.
A sheep torture device. To make them tell the truth where they are hiding their mother-ship from where they will launch an invasion on earth. Part of their plan has already succeed in New Zealand. Stop their invasion!!!
Not so sure about 2 weeks or more, but in 2005 three children (3, 5 and 6) were lost in West Malaysia (the part below Thailand) for 5 days. They were eventually found by trackers. I think 19 years without ANY human interaction is stretching it, so my guess is that she was lost when she was a kid some people found her, she ran away, got found again, ran again. Might have suffered some trauma that made her forget. Just a guess.
