What's the Weirdest Thing You've Eaten?
November 10th 2007 20:18
Listed among his culinary delights were Haggis (sheep's intestines), mangrove worms and bulls testicles!
Regailing in all this whilst we enjoyed a Saturday evening barbecue - my appetite went somewhere south - and suddenly salad looked horribly attractive.
Sure, I've devoured lamb's tongues, kangaroo, bison, croc and buffalo - but generally speaking - I haven't really taken that next perilous step to finer (and possibly acquired) dining pleasure.
So - what's the weirdest thing you've ever intentionally or mistakenly eaten.

Urgh, how could those things be eaten? I would’ve been slithering towards the salad too after those tales.
I don’t really eat meat that much so I can’t add any unusual bodily parts to the list, but I didn’t enjoy inhaling a fly through my nose when I was a schoolkid waiting for the train.

Most people like to read when they wait for the train.
Lucky the experience wasn't one you enjoyed - could've lead to some fly-by-night addiction.

That's a bit corny (the fly-by-night addiction) but it did make me chuckle

I once ate Moose in Norway. It wasn't by accident, it was quite on purpose and although I was rather apprehensive, I was plesantly suprised! Very tender and very tasty!

Got to eat a few interesting things myself in Canada - but moose wasn't on the menu.
Closest I got to it was the chocolate variety.

I know you're doing up a little family dining itinery for the MNG entourage - but now I'm starting to get a little wary of your culinary choices.

Puts new meaning into the whole concept of mouth watering meals really.
Thanks for dropping by.

Balut (Duck Fetus) -- It's eaten a lot here, best sprinkled with rock salt. Some people eat the whole thing. I can't bring myself to eat the fetus though. Well, sometimes I close my eyes.
Isaw (Grilled Chicken Intestines). Sold a lot in street stalls. It's quite tasty.
Soup #5 (Soup with Bull's Balls). Eek. I tried this once and never ate it again.
I found all three really gross in the beginning. Upon tasting though, I liked balut and isaw. But Soup #5? Never again.

eeewwww I should have read this post after dinner! There are some rather interesting choices here... GAG!
I once ate baboon jerky. I was told it was just the normal jerky that we usually ate, but afterwards found out it was baboon. I`ve also had snails which taste like rubber in my books.... and Eland Steak... and Warthog.
Other than that I`m not really into culinary adventures.

I love trying weird food, but haven't had much apart from the 'usual' unusual stuff - kangaroo, chicken feet, snake, ox tongue, beef carpaccio, etc.

Baboon Jerky!
That's outragous . . .
And as for warthog - hmmmm.

Never had snails (how sad is that) but my 15yo braved it a few months ago - as part of her French course at school - said they were great in butter and garlic.
