Seven years ago, I went backpacking in the Northern Philippines with the guy on the very right. One of our innkeepers introduced us to someone who could find out-of-season mushrooms. He came back with a bag of soggy caps caked in horse manure. We scrubbed them in boiling water and made an omelet. We ate and waited and ate some more. Then John said, "let's feed the rest to the pigs." We ended up watching them all day. Now he's a philosopher.
