Lesson 23-1 One man’s meat is another man’s poison
People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten.
If you lived in the Mediterranean,
for instance,
you would consider octopus a great delicacy.
You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive.
On the other hand,
your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat -- the normally accepted practice in many northern countries.
The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.
No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail.
Cooked in wine,
snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world.
There are countless people who,
ever since their early years,
have learned to associate snails with food.
My friend, Robert,
lives in a country where snails are despised.
As his flat is in a large town,
he has no garden of his own.
For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him.

练习感悟：在一天的最后一刻，录制完成，尽管有几个音没有发准，还是作为最终版提交。最小可交付产品，至少作品声音出来了。本节的段落也是挺长，今天的办法还是一句句在手机上跟读，然后在看着文档，通篇朗读。
