Written text most of the time doesn't come across as speech, so I may be wrong, but I'm glad to be wrong in this case. Thank you for clarifying this.
I understand these dishes are not familiar to you or common in your country. These are not common here either as we don't have zebras and kangaroos running around free. These are considered delicatesse in my country and cost 3 - 4 times a normal dish, we don't eat it every day, but we only live once, so I thought why not taste it.
