During a 12-hour drive in a Russian jeep, Lloyd and Severin joked about the exotic dishes they had previously eaten: bear paw; dog. The tribespeople turned out to be friendly, once they knew their visitors weren't from the government. "In fact, we were feted," says Lloyd. "The chief came out beaming with two bowls of duck's blood, each with a duck's foot in it.
