The most precious item I have is my wedding dress.

I grew up in Samoa, where food is an important part of our culture. I remember this sea worm, called the palolo, that would lay its larvae once every full moon. You'd go and scoop it up, serve it on a banana leaf with coconut cream and seaweed. Delicious, a real assault on the senses.
