Strange Foods You Have Eaten

RichTeestar Moderator on May 17th, 2012 / post 46812
I had snails last night (not the first time) but it started me thinking, what strange or weird foods have I ever eaten?

1. Snails
2. Crocodile
3. Kangaroo
4. Squid
5. Octopus
6. Sea Weed

That's about all I can think of. Not especially off the wall. What about the rest of you guys?

Squid is good Bidona, love cooking it!

For me, crocodile and Kangaroo are natives, therefore readily available and not so wird. I had Llama whilst in Peru a couple of years ago, that was a sensation....

Other weird things include Oysters, witchetty grub and Sashimi...

back in russia i've eaten
1. deer
2. cow tail
3. cow tongue

2. dolphin (tuna, dolphin tuna, nothing special, just the name)

never eaten but seen
2. pickled dick sold in some grocery stores, dunno what that is

When I was in England, you could buy cow tongue and cow tail (actually known as ox tail!) in many butchers deli's.

I've had loads of ox tail soup and tongue sandwiches in my life and they are really really tasty  :thumbsup:

My sister ate a bulls penis once (it had been removed from the bull and cooked in case you were wondering) and she said it tasted disgusting!

what about pig head? i ate that. pretty good stuff. including moose too, forgot. anyone had quail? it's not weird, it's just cool. =) with preserved cherries - top notch! =) we don't have many asians here talking, they could've shared alot of freat stuff they've eaten - scorpions, all kinds of larvae and shit, cats and dogs.. or latinos - special south american cockroaches, bats.. i've seen on tv.. gagged a few times..

rabbits are not weird. was a popular feast in russia for new years or something.. but the worst would be when poor ass seller would go out & find a cat, skin it, and sell it as a rabbit.. they look the same without skin. damn, i don't think my parents ever got screwed like that, but it a real thing, real scam..

i also ate once red spicy flaming-hot cheetos (like chips in a bag) - omg, that shit is nightmarish.. =)

yeah, gotta be careful with mushrooms... i only went gathering them once in my life, back in russia, and of course picked up some poisonous ones. later older men looked in my basket and threw out like 3 or 4 mushrooms. then we had a picnic.. then i got home and... went down with spasms in the stomach.. even thought it was appendicitis. went to hospital on an emergency vehicle.. was in really great pain. and then it stopped.. so basically i got poisoned from just touching those bad mushrooms, and then eating some moist food with my dirty hands, thus some spores got into my system.. was a real nightmare, to be honest.
