a "delicacy" is kinda like a misnomer where its true meaning is masked by giving it a more grandiose or politically correct name. it's kinda like how a "baker's dozen" glorifies the fact that bakers aren't very educated and don't know how to count and/or how an "old wive's tale" is a folksy way of dressing up some senile, old coot's alternative methods to science. anyway, back to delicacies... a delicacy is basically a nice word for the f'd up shizz weird cultures eat. for example, monkey brains are a delicacy in the congo, fish eyeball soup is a delicacy in vietnam, snails are a delicacy in france and/or placenta is a delicacy in hong kong. NEAT, huh? what would be considered an american delicacy where most the world would cringe and dry heave at the mere thought of it. maybe twinkies or rocky mountain oysters are examples of american delicacies. or, even better, hot dogs may be the most delicate of american delicacies. think about it, jews and muslims can't eat pork because their "god" considers it an abomination and hot dogs are comprised of all the nastiest, leftover pork items like pig lips and buttholes and stuff. really, since jews, xtians and muslims all kinda worship the same god, maybe jesus' biggest accomplishment wasn't opening up the gates of heaven or being a jewish carpenter but allowing his followers to indulge in pork products while the other middle eastern religions can't. OINK!
