[qhsdoitall]

What's the strangest or different things you've eaten?

I've had:
alligator
rattlesnake
turtle
wild boar
venison
moose
bear
raccoon
possum
squirrel
stir fried crickets
escargot, sea urchin, octopus, squid
quail, dove, grouse, pheasant, duck, goose, wild turkey

This is just the tip of the iceberg for me.

[SSLSTudio...]

Wow Rich thats quite some list you have there .....

Frog legs ( while doing my tour in Bosnie War ) we camped at the french army. this time the Chef wasnt counting on us so basically we got left overs and I was so hungry I went for it I thought strangest chicken I have ever had till the guys enlightened me your eating frogs.. there goes the appetite :eek: . it tastes just like Chicken.

I wouldnt say Duck is different or weird its healthier to eat id think then Chicken
I eat Duck regular and lamb meat.
I saw a new can of Squid prepared in some tomato sauce a la Spanish Tapa will be curious to taste it.

Food id like to try is Japanese pufferfish (Fugu). its a delicatesse in Japan brings a new experience to the phrase to Live or to Die.

Sick, Sick man.

[qhsdoitall]

Sick, Sick man.

I'm still gagging over lark puke. :rofl

I can add rabbit, shark, eel and frogs legs. I just can't remember it all and you guys will jog it for me. I'm not even mentioning what sushi I've had because quite frankly I didn't day ask. :D

Except this one. Oh, I hate to mention this one. I hope none of my pets are reading this. Horsemeat sushi. My Japanese co-workers had to tell me I was eating that. It was their version of an ironic sick joke. Too bad I told them it tasted good. Soy sauce and Wasabi fix everything. :rofl

[rick]

if this thread was in the "No Holds Barred" section
I could add a thing or 2 :ashamed001

[Kingpepper]

venison
squirrel
black bear
rabbit
pickeled trout
elk (sausage)

[moviemaniac]

A fly. A living one. It happened when I was a kid and I wanted to blow it away. I breathed in to get as much air as possible into my lungs - that's when it happened :rofl

[herzi]

Nope, that would rather go under "most delicious food eaten when being invited to friends" :D

Raw horse sashimi in a sushi bar in Yamagata, Japan.

I've had good ol' Louisiana Cajun mud bugs (if you know what I'm talking about). Mighty fine eating, those mud bugs.

Welcome back, Dimitry.
.......dont be a stranger ! :D

[ltlsuz]

okay, I've not had anything special! :ashamed001

Just venison, turtle and I did have mud bugs when I went to New Orleans - years ago, but I made my husband do all the nasty work, I won't touch them until the head and feet and anything else yucky looking was gone. I didn't suck the brains out - no way! He also had to do the big peel and eat shrimp.:p

[dangert]

Welcome back, Dimitry.
.......dont be a stranger ! :D

I won't :D. For some reason I didn't receive emails before and thought nobody wants to talk to me...

[MaduroMan_wcp]

racoon
cat
armadiller
'coon
in addition to all the other things listed..


the world is broken down into eaters and eatees....I will stay in the eater catagory, thank you...

[Rufus]

Crawdads/mudbugs, do you suck the heads?
Last year I had kangaroo in Kilarney, Eire. It is very lean, dark in colour and tastes very good.

[Woknblues]

I often find that the preparation is what makes food unusual.

Any animal killed and cooked seems to be edible. (fish and plant eating land animals get most people's seal of approval)

Northern Thailand has some interesting specialties.

I have eaten the jumping prawns as a gent above stated. Covered in chili and lime, almost anything would taste good washed down with a few bottles of chang!

The fried crickets were not half bad, deep fried with fish sauce. Again, the flavors of a deep fried anything in my mind tend to be similar. Sprinkle with fish sauce and you could be eating almost anything and would believe it if you didn't know before hand.

Raw minced pork with herbs and spices is another.

Here in the Philippines, there are all kinds of unusual things as well. Balut is the national "I dare ya" favorite. A fertilized egg (yes, you get the texture of beak/bones and feathers in there sometimes). First timers are advised to have it with the lights out. They also have "day old" chicks to be eaten whole. Here in Baguio, local (and vanishing) custom is to consume dog meat for the "warming effect".. In fact, all Philippine "unusual" foods I have run across seem to be "drinking foods" and are not "widely enjoyed". I haven't tried dog (I believe it is forbidden by law at the moment, thus, hard to come by) but the others were decent enough, if not unremarkable.

I've got an upcoming trip to Japan, I will certainly be seeking Fugu, ond Kobe beef. I'm told properly prepared Fugu leaves just enough toxin to make your tongue numb.
