What is the best/ weirdest meal you've ever eaten?
Just thinking about a meal I had at his restaurant called Chez George...it was a four course meal of scallops and fettucine in a white truffle sauce, and filet and goose liver (don't know the french pronunciation) in a truffle sauce with spinach. It sounds gross but it was delicious....what was your best or weirdest meal you've ever eaten?
Answers:
octopus salad, it's made with fresh octi, green peppers, and onions, tossed in a light vinaigrette dressing, it sounds so gross but is so good
I can not think of one thing, that would even remotely come close to what your weirdest meal was.
well this wasn't a meal but a snack!! My sister put hot sauce on my gold fish crackers and it tasted great!!
MMMM that sounds so good!
I love french cuisine. Escargot and sweetbreads all the way baby!
plain o' jellyfish!
The weirdest dish I've ever eaten is what we call "corned grouper". It sounds awful, but man is it dee-lish!!
You layer the cleaned grouper in a pan or bowl, being sure to heavily salt each layer. Leave it overnight in the fridge. The next day you boil it until it is just done (don't overcook!). Before you cook the grouper though, you boil peeled potatoes and set them aside. You cut up a bunch of bacon into small pieces and fry until it's crunchy bits (not burnt!) Keep some of the bacon droppings along with the bacon. Also, cut up some raw onions into small chips. Get a jar of your fave mayo. When everything is ready, mash the potatoes, fish, bacon, onions, and mayo together. Add salt and pepper to taste. My dad liked to add a good dash of italian dressing to his servings.
It's really better to let each individual mix up their own bowl to taste. Some may not want onions or bacon etc. Also, you might like to put a dash of the bacon drippings in the mix to give it extra bacon flavor.
Yes, it sounds totally gross, but it is so good! Even my sister who is a finicky eater and hates seafood always loved this dish!
Bon Appetite!

I went to a Bugfest and they had the following served for samples:
Grasshopper wraps
BBQ mealworms
Grub Stir fry with chinese veggies
and dried water bugs with a salmon mousse.
The bugs were great until the water bug. It was very salty and smelled like manure. After that, I kinda got sick.
The Bugfest was held at the NC Museum of Science in Raleigh, NC
Being a former chef from Canada who worked in Canada, Asia and Jamaica, I hav had some doseys, from fried frog skin with rotten anchovie dip in Thailand, a dish I had to have after seeing Tony Bourdan eat on his "Cooks Tour" shows, when I worked in the north of Canada I had the meat and fat of a narwal, a whale like creature, I answered a question today from a fellow Canauk about a Newfoundland delicacy called Flipper pie, it is a meat pie made from seal flippers and is quite nice, to the rattlesnake I had in Texas once.
I could go on for days and make alot of people ill, the most interesting was the narwal and the weirdest was either the Chocolate cover grasshoppers from Saudia Arabia or the Kangaroo soup I brought back from Germany in 1985.
The weirdest thing i ever had was pureed sea urchin. It was at a 5 star restaurant in london called Petrus.
I wouldn't touch the following with a ten foot spoon.
My grandmother used to enjoy cow head soup. She would especially enjoy picking out the eyes and eating them. Yuck, how gross can you get, eh? X ^ P
Another elderly relative used to enjoy "sesos" which is brain. I can't remember from what animal. I once saw it in a pan, sooo disgusting looking. X ^ P
Whew, I'm glad to be vegan, lol!
Cow brain and tongue.
