Answer 2

I've long been of the theory one of the best things about being a human being is the ability to look at and admire the beauty of all God's creatures... and then kill and eat them.

So, I'll just catalog the animals and animal products I've eaten and you can pick.

Mammals:

Cow, pig, buffalo, horse, wild boar, beaver, squirrel, rabbit, deer, antelope, gazelle, elk, reindeer, lamb, goat, kangaroo, dog, cat, rat, raccoon, possum, llama, bear, lion... I think that's it on mammals.

Birds:

Chicken, turkey, duck, pheasant, quail, goose, ostrich, emu, and crow.

Reptiles and amphibians:

Alligator, turtle, rattlesnake, and frog.

Fish:

Dear lord what haven't I eaten that we can get our hands on here? Ummm, salmon, tilapia, grouper, snapper, trout, tuna, crappie, roughy, swordfish, monkfish, shark, scrod, haddock, halibut, eel, flounder, all the caviars and soft roe (the fish equivalent of testicles).

Mollusks and arthropods:

Clams, oysters, mussels, snails, scallops, abalone, lobster, squid, octopus, cuttlefish, crab, prawn, shrimp, jellyfish (nasty stuff, by the way), fried crickets, chocolate covered grasshoppers, chocolate covered ants, stuffed rice bugs, hissing roaches, candied scorpions, candied spiders, fried meal worms, fried flies (I was at a restaurant in Mexico which specialized in pre-colonization Aztec food, and they served it as an appetizer).

Bodily organs:

Heart, liver, kidney, tongue, brains, thymus gland, stomach, chitlins (intestines), mountain oysters (testicles)... the standard stuff there. I'm most fond of sweetbreads, though (thymus gland).

Really strange non-classifiable stuff:

Live octopus, live shrimp (they literally crawl down your throat, it's SOOOOOO icky feeling), snake blood, black pudding (lovely english pudding made out of pig's blood)... but for me, I think the thing which has to take the cake is either the thousand year egg, which is just so foul tasting (I'm sorry if you like them, but they just aren't my bag), and those god awful balut eggs... you know, the ones where the duck chick is halfway through gestation and they pickle the egg so when you crack it open there's this gooey little duck embryo with the beginnings of feathers, beak, etc, and you chomp the whole thing down?

That's probably the grossest thing I've ever eaten. Oh my God, to quote Anthony Bourdain... "It was so nasty I literally wanted to die. I just wanted to dunk my head in a bucket of lye and run screaming off a cliff."

Granted, he was talking about eating an iguana tamale, but I haven't eaten iguana yet.

Answer 3

Not exactly strange foods... just strange combos:

Banana sandwiches made with Miracle Whip.

Tuna fish with scrambled eggs mixed in.

My favorite during Turkey day... cranberries mixed in mashed potatoes. Yum!

Answer 4

Alligator bites (like chicken nugs) at Universal Studios Island of Adventure. Tasted like fishy chicken. I love sushi tho, its the poo.

Answer 5

Down south they have this thing um called fatback? well when u first sit down and look at it- it kinda looks like fried potatoe hunks! So i go to take a huge bite and OH MY GOD totally nasty fried FAT from all the day before! GROSS

Answer 6

Once i eat Snail in a restaurant,i didn't know what it was until i find out that it was snail and a very famous food in France.

Answer 7

Keyboards. And beaver, forgot about that, it's not really strange, just really bad. It's probably because it spends so much time in the water.

Answer 8

Answer 9
