What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?

hmmm yea

moose is good = errr, a large deer...though moose are mythical creatures, so its just a really large deer

 

lmao they are not mythical

 

Sheep or cow brain (Don't wanna know even)..uhh never again.

 

Nothing really that weird. Squid, chicken head, escargot.

I wouldn't mind trying some of those chocolate crickets.

 

I ate many 'weird' things. Or at least what us Westerners call weird.

What comes to mind:
- Fried spiders (pulling out their legs to nibble on the meat).
- Snake, served with its own blood.
- Goat and bull testicles and tongues.
- Many insects (from being alive to being deep fried).
- Living worms and maggots (good source of protein).
- Pretty much all organs of different animals (brain included).
- Frog legs (delicacy in some European countries).
- Snail (same as above).

I might add to that list when I think of anything else.

 

hehe we have somthing in common

 

they so are

i thought i saw one once, but it was just a really large deer

 

I actually like pine nuts.

But the weirdest thing I ever ate? Bear.

 

Quite a collection you got there, I wonder how the snake tasted ... actually I wonder how all tasted, I'll take your word for it though

 

is it bad that this thread is making me hungry?

my dads eaten a lot more weird food than i have. lots of rodent stuff, like squirrel pie or somethin
my grandma likes chicken feet, but hasnt eaten them in years and years as far as i know. she says its mostly gristle, which grosses me out, cant stand the texture of gristle and fat chunks, bleh

but this thread is seriously making me crave gamey meat again, grr!

 

I know the official position is that there isn't, but I swear that while backpacking in remote parts of the forest on California coast, that I've heard monkeys.


I made bread out of ground black sage seeds that I had collected, very different tasting. Just a day or two ago I ate part of a milk thistle stalk, wasnt' bad, reminded me of celery.

Anyone ever try eating fig beetle grubs?

 

ive had heaps of awesome stuff, they include:
tongue (it was chewy and nice)
frogs legs (tasted like soft chicken)
caviar
deer
eel (most impossible thing to eat with chopsticks)
kangaroo

thats all i can think of atm

 

Probably Jewish Easter bread... as I'm not even Jewish.

 

Chocolate covered ants :drool:

You just have to pretend they're Raisinettes



hotwater

 

if i knew what it was it wouldn't have been wierd.

i eat fairly diversely so its kind of hard to pin down, i mean "wierdness" is simply a matter of context, what the person who perceives it is unfamiliar with thinking of it in that context. i suppose escargot and oisters rockafeller and sturgeon roe, are all pretty wierd crap really if you think about it, don't taste at all all that wonderful, and idiots spend huge amounts of money trying to impress each other with such crap. probably same goes for chocklet covered ants and that pate from force fed geese.
chocklet covered ants of the lot make the most sense. even have things people, especially growing children need.

will i have eaten rice in which the rice weavals have hatched, and i can attest their little chittinous shells add NOTHING i would whole heartedly recomend to the flavour.

on the other hand, i have eaten WONDERFUL things that i was unfamiliar with or had never tried before for the first time. one that i still don't know entirely what it was, is this think, supposedly from india, the guy was making them right there in front of me, and i still don't understand what it was. it was sweet, shaped like a pretzel, and tasted like gummie bears and jellybabies. it was also green and possibly made out of avacadoes. do they have avacadoes in india? indiginously i mean. i don't think so. but that's what it looked like one of the ingredients were.

then of course there's also moshie. which is ice cream balls that melt in your mounth, not in your hand. that don't look like anything other then sphereoids of ice cream, and yet, quite litterally they don't stick to your fingers at all, nor leave any kind of a mess either, though i'm sure they would if you left them at room temperature long enough.

there seems to be some kind of surface film that seems to be the key to them, though what it is or how its made, that thin, netting-like film, that keeps them from being just a messy lump of ice cream, remains a complete mystery to me.

nothing wierd at all about the ice cream itself, even though, i suppose, green tea ice cream is a little unusual to anyone who hasn't had it before.

btw, heart and tongue i have no problem with, brains and tripe you can keep. same for cavier and the rest of that sort of thing. lomi-lomi, poi, and lutkafisk too.

I ate haggis with poacher's broth and malt whisky on the Isle of Mull in 1975. Mmm-mmm-good. To remember for the rest of one's life!

Sea cumcumber in a Cantonese restaurant.

Tongue, prepared by my paternal grandmother in Brooklyn (a delicatessen delicacy) in 1964

I LOVE chicken, turkey and duck hearts--Molly, you are a woman of taste

Kimchi, the hotter the better (good for what ails you)

Pho with tendon and bible tripe (good, hard-core Vietnamese food)

Squid and octopus innumerable times and in innumerable forms (I particularly like squid in hot Thai food, but calimari doesn't suck, either)

Venison aspic

Steak tartare (prions, anyone?) . . . of course, I ate this long ago before anybody knew anything about mad cow disease. Whatever; it was delicious. By the way, why is that three-headed flourescent armadillo growing out of your left ear?

Hassenpfeffer

 

The most dangerous game.

Man.

 

Guinea Pig in Lima.

 

serious? i was always curious about that... how does human flesh taste? like does it have its own flavor or is it similar to somthing? id try it if i had the opportunity.
