Intresting food you have ever tried that some people would never think of eating or you never thought you would like or just downright hated.

My step dad is from Nigeria and I use to love eating fish or plantain and smoked turkey soup with FuFu that was made from potatoe flour, semolina or bisquick. The only thing I hated eating was his so called "brain-food" that was bascially fermented corn meal and some other unsatisfying ingredients (Ewwww). Later in high school I tried octopus in my Spanish class and I still like it till this day.

Oysters..enough tasty

I am pretty brave about food. I'll try just about anything once, and on more than a few occasions overseas, tried something I hadn't a clue about. I think I once ate turtle eggs in Keelung, Taiwan, but I can't swear to it. Looked like eggs, but tasted fishy, and it gave my buddy the runs big time. Me, I didn't even fart.

Anyway, the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten wasn't overseas, it was at a county fair in North Carolina, when I tried out some chitterlings (chitluns). They tasted the way a dirty barnyard smells. Yuck! A close second was when I bought a beef kidney at the grocery store and cooked it. I could only choke a couple of bites down. It smelled and tasted of urine. Gag!!! I'll take exotic sushi any day of the week over that!!

I live in a meat&potatoes kind of culture, but I tried tofu, and actually liked how versatile it is. I could never be vegan---steaks on the charcoal grill!!!- I would add tofu as a healthy occasional meat substitute.
Oh---and yesterday I had some deliciously salty Kalamata olives--yum!

Vegasdawg--I think that is Bulgogi (buh-go-gee). My hubby served in Korea & has made it for me. Go to koreankitchens.com recipe is easy!

Chitterlings are good only when they are prepared right you can't get them at the fair you have to get them at a African American southern home. So they are home cooked and cleaned good. If they smell like a barnyard after they are cooked then chances are they weren't clean well.
The weirdest thing I have eaten is Fish Soup, something my Mom seen on Oprah

I have travelled a lot and I think that the most interesting food I have eaten was in Korea. I'm still not quite sure what it was, but it was very tasty! It was some kind of spicy meat with kimchee fried rice.

I am Nigerian and I never thought I would like bush meat just don't tell me too much of what I am eating. LOL Can you please tell me what brain food is? I have never heard of it. I will ask my mom too just to confim if she knows. thanks oh and how come you ate with bisquick no pounded yam I like pounded yam and ebba fufu has no flavor. I used to eat bisquik when we lived in Cyprus and Turkey where there are like no Nigerians.

Escargot, smoked oysters and some of my so called 'inventions' (use what you had before payday) they were created with prayers and whatever I had left in the house and ended up being some of my family's favorites.

Raw whale blubber..or muk tuk, as it was called in the Inupiat culture I tried it in.

It was tough, impossible to cut, impossible to chew...and the juices tasted like the smell of old, worn-out rubber carpet padding.
