A American woman travelling

An American woman travelling in south-east Asia was horrified to be served bird’s nest soup.

“Do you mean to say this actually is a bird’s nest?” she protested.

The chef assured her that it was, explaining that the bird built the nest using its own saliva as glue.

“Are you saying I’m supposed to eat saliva from a bird?” she demanded. “I can’t imagine anyone eating bird’s saliva.”

Realizing that there was no hope of converting her, the chef asked what she would prefer instead.

She answered, “Oh, just fix me an omelette.”
