So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

Not something you just decided to eat, but something that is actually a real food dish, whether it be in this country or others. From going to several different countries ive goten to try some weird food, and the weirdest ive ever eaten is either snake, which i ate in china, or kangaroo which i had in Australia. Whats the weirdest food youve ever eaten?

This is the weirdest thing that I have eaten in the last week - caterpillar larvae :eek:

The best comedy food that I have eaten in the last 24 hours had to be spicy chicken feet last night - fu&%#$g horrible but provided endless comedic moments through dinner.:jump:

I had dog in Korea and cat in the middle east. I think the cat was by far the worst...

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

Roasted grasshoppers, chocolate covered (clumped)ants, bugs (like slugs/escargot) in Australia, eel (before it was cool) in Poland, jellied pigeon in Hong Kong, alligator, horse in Mexico (though I didn't realize it immediately .. the worst taste ever). I'm sure there are other things I've blocked out from my travels. :eek:

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

Hmmm2 you beat us all. I had the snake by mistake, we were having a duck dinner in Beijieng, and they brought out this appetizer, at the time i thought it was the main meal being duck so i started eating it. My friends then said "Justin the duck isnt out yet", scared yet curious at the delicous food i was eating i asked the waitress and surely enough she said "snake" after that it didnt taste good anymore. The Kangaroo i had when i was over in Australia and suprisingly it is EXTREMELY good, im not gonna lie its probably better than steak, also had emu and crocidile when i was over there but i wouldnt consider those as weird as the other two.

and BigDad i have to ask, how was dog, i couldnt imagine eating dog no matter what.

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

I couldn't eat dog, either. :eek: When I was in Macau, there were black dogs everywheres ... many maimed. At the same time, dog was on the menu. I always wondered if they were just caught outside the back door and roasted. People on the beach would roast dog, while their pet dog would be romping around having fun. That's just WRONG! :crying:

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

We are going to a seafood restaurant tonight where one of their specialities is an eel soup that they cook on the table right in front of you - by dropping live eels into a pot and slowly bringing it to the boil - pictures of fleeing screaming westerners to follow.:jump:

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

I was in the same boat as you, I didn't know it was dog or cat at either time.

The dog was chewy and the cat was ground up like hamburger on pita bread. And, it was gnasty! Still feel that stuff coming back up every now and then.

sheepbrain in Israel. Looked disgusting !!!! Taste was not that bad.

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

I had rattlesnake in arizona and alligator tail in florida.
Both were very tasty

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

In a French Island served up some meat which I found out later was horse. I love horses and wasn't too happy with the chef. Did taste good not like chicken!

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

Dog in Nigeria. It was cooked real good and spiced up a lot. It king of reminded me of beef jerky. (after about a half a dozen warm beers that is)

Here in Mexico it would have to be ants. There is a little town about an hour away from us where ants is their local delicacy. They take them and make some kind of paste out of them. Yuck!:notallthere:

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

I think I would starve to death in a lot of the places some of you have been. :o

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

Sea Urchin, Balut, Monkey, dog, snake, and a fly of some kind--riding a bike! :) Not by choice!

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?

Rattlesnake tapas at an Adam and Eve party (only because I was tipsy) and Nova.:)

This stripper in Dallas....whoops. You meant food right:confused:

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?

Thanks RYD, I did it for you.:)


BRKLYN- don't get excited, it was just a show party to lauch some underwear- but there was sod on the floor, ice sculpture shots and women running around without much cloth.... or sod.;):D

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

Alligator - good
Rattlesnake - good
Conch - not bad at all
raw squid - not great
pork brains -just okay
pig's feet - just okay
my personal favorite - fried chicken hearts

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

mayonaise and lima bean sandwich was the worst tasting......

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

Cows Tongue - when I was no more than 8 or 10. :P

Alligator and possibly hippo or something. - Bar owner upstate would make us weird breakfasts at 2am and he had pkgs of meat that looked like bacon, but were not! :)

Kangaroo in Oz - with a nice dark BBQ or soy sauce type thing with a few Belgian beers. Yumm!

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

OMG, that happened to us in Hong Kong. The large table next to us (family with kids) had a lazy susan in the center with a big fish bowl. In the bowl were live frogs and shrimp. Every so often the waiter would come over and pour something from a bottle into the bowl. I thought it was just a center piece. Long story short ... the lazy susan was actually a heat plate .. and the waiter was adding something like wine or vermouth. The shrimp and frogs were jumping trying to get out. Soon they slowed down. :eek: The waiter then spooned the cooked frogs and shrimp onto the plates and the people just slurped them up. :notallthere:

Also, I saw some of you list (cow's) tongue and conch. Conch is like a staple in S. FL .. I had that daily for years. I've had lots of tongue, too (:rolleyes:).. don't get the wrong idea ok? ROFLOL. Tongue has a weird texture.

I've traveled a lot through the years, so have had lots of weird stuff. I'm not afraid to try foods of the locals.

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

I love neat foods but I'd hate to have to kill it or watch it die for me. I don't think I could be a hunter although I have a lot of respect for them and love deer meat more than anything. Neither could I watch a frog (don't care to try that one) slowly boil.

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

NO, not pork brains !!! no one eats pork brains and stays sane !!!

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

LOL so that's what happened to me! :orly:

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

I live in South Florida and I have no where seen any of this conch or alligator tail on menus and ive been to like 85 percent of the resteraunts in S florida. I do hear that the Conch is big in the Keys/ Bahamas but i have never seen it on a menu in the physical penisula of Florida.

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

Yeah, I only had conch when in the Bahamas, never in FL where I live. However, I have had alligator here locally. It was on the menu at a restaurant that was later destroyed by a tornado and also at the seafood festivals you can usually get it. Bonefish might have it too, I know someone else does.

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

I wouldn't expect that there would be any conch in northern FL .. it comes from Key Largo and south. Wow, 3Hummer, where've you been? LOL. I used to thrive on conch fritters at lunch... mostly around the downtown Miami restaurants. You would always see them on the appetizer or happy hour menus. I lived in Coral Gables, but would also find conch at some eateries in Kendall, Homestead and anywheres from Tavernier south. You gotta get out and live! LOL! :D Well, sure .. all of the Bahamian islands have conch .. that's a given. You can also buy something like 8 huge conch shells for a dollar from the locals. LOL. The Caribbean is full of conch.

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

I wonder what Aubs would answer.

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

:giggling:

What ever happened to Aubs?

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

I think he was banned.

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

Sausage of some kind. :jump:

Re: So whats the weirdest thing youve ever eaten?
 

No. I think he tried to re-up using a new name and then ran off when he figured out that he could hunt for stick pussy here.:clapping:
