What's the most bizarre or exotic food that you've eaten?
This can include any "unconventional" meat or plant item. So far, the ones I've tried are probably geese, alligator meat, and tree bark (don't ask...) Anybody had something weirder?
Answers:
Conch, snails, turtle, eel, bear, frogs legs...
Pig brains.
Octopus salsa
There is a drink in the old soviet union that they make with black bread - it's pretty weird and gross - but supposedly I'm healthier having had that experience...
Not weirder, but Frog Legs, Bear, and Mountain oysters are on my list.
I've eaten fungus. It's pretty weird. Kind of chewy.
Croco-nuggets and Chit'lins ><
sea cucumber - it's animal not a vegetable
oh and Chinese snake wine - it's too strong to be wine but it sure tastes of snake scales.
I'd have to say birds nest soup. It is made from a real bird nest. Not to bad in taste but definitely a weird food.
escargot with garlic butter
I tried crocodile and kangaroo in AU. Crocodile-ew. Kangaroo-yum!
Kangaroo steak when I was in Australia, and it was pretty dame good!
frog legs, chiterlings(pig intestines), and oysters (most people don't think those are weird, but I do b/c when I treid it, it was slimy and too big to even swallow, I had to spit it out, yuck!) Plus I have a phobia of mollucks, so that made it even more interesting.)
Snails and Moose...Not really Exotic I know..but strange to me..
ostrich- I only found out after i'd eaten it- i probably wouldn't have otherwise, but it was really good. that was like fifteen years ago, so i was pretty young
I have tried cow brains, which were not too bad and a heck of a lot better than liver, alligator sausage, kangaroo, goanna, frog legs, emu, and turtle soup. Out of all of these, the best flavour came from the emu. It is very tasty. Turtle soup comes in second. The soup tasted like a very rich chicken soup.
Escargot, venison, kidneys and rice, Stewed tripe, Pigs feet, Pigs knuckles & frogs legs. The tripe was the worst.
Not too weird, but Calamari.
oh goodness...dare I say dog...=( hey I was not in the states
"Calf fries".... tasted like chicken, but then I found out what it really was, ewwwww
cawacsana
baby octopus and grasshopper
Octopus! It actually bounced when a piece hit the floor. It took a LOT of retsina wine to get over it!
I don't think I've eaten anything to weird but my dad told me that when he was in the navy he's eaten horse burgers monkey brains while the monkey was still alive and screaming and baluk while he was in the Philippines which is when they put a chicken egg underground to incubate it for a few days then they dig ip the egg scrape a hole in it and suck out the underdeveloped chick eww. I guess that's how they survived during the war of Dessert Storm
NothingTOO weird, but when I was a kid, my parents had a BBQ and invited the entire neighborhood. My mom mistakenly bought ground mutton (sheep) thinking it was ground beef and served it as hamburger to everyone there. My dad (ever at the helm of the grill) received such rave reviews on his hamburgers that my mom finally pulled the packages out of the trash to tell everyone exactly what kind of ground beef it was. Imagine her surprise when it said "ground mutton" on the label! Most everyone was pretty grossed out!
To this day, my sister and I still tease my mom when she serves hamburgers!
venison - not really weird, but was very different for me.
Tongue and brain and ears of a sheep.
A shark's fin.
Fish's eyes.
pigs trotters
chicken legs, chicken eyes,n more
alligator meat, Great White shark meat, mussels...
