Colin
Farrell Sickened by Swan's Foot
2/25/08
Colin Farrell is still haunted by the memory of eating a swan's foot in
Tibet.
The Irishman was with friends on vacation in the Buddhist mecca when he
was presented with a country delicacy which turned his stomach.
He says, "I like new food, although I ate a f**king swan's foot in
Tibet (and) it was the most depressing (thing).
"I was in Tibet for a couple of weeks and the people that I'd met
wanted to take us out for dinner on our last night and they took us out
and it was a lovely meal... and then the delicacy came out at the end and
they were all like, 'Ah, this is the...' and out came a swan without its
calf.
"It was like (reality TV show) Fear Factor... They gave us a
plastic glove to eat it with... I went to confession afterwards: 'Bless me
father, for I have eaten swan's foot.'"
