Answer 1

Monkey hand soup. It's pretty gnarly, especially, if you have never seen it before. It is a rare delicacy in China and it is very expensive. Never in my life would I think that I would ever ingest such a thing but I got into a "no ability to refuse" situation with friends of my parents. They even go around the table and stir up the hand so the guests can see the "quality" of the monkey hand. I really felt awful eating an animal that is probably endangered and I had nighmares about it for weeks.

Answer 2

Monkey brain, dog in the philipines, I didn't know about the dog until after even though I would not think of eating this in europe it was very good, then again I'm french and we eat everything, from pigs foot to the ear to the tongue and a must is pigs nose, of course the famous frogs legs (just like chicken, really) snails etc etc

One time my dad decided to cook like the american indians. every once in a while he would break a steers neck ropeing . So then we would eat this tough old mexican steer. They tasted great being grass fed but they were tough. So he got the hired hand to dig a deep hole. then he built a fire and threw the steers head in it.he covered it with dirt. The next day he dug it up and split the scull with an eaxe all of us kids watching him. he took out the brains , eyeballs and tongue and cheek muscle and put it on a plate ans set it on the kitchen table. I remeber him and my mom haveing some words between them that ran like this
"your not gonna make these kids eat that"
" This is not going to hurt them it will be a good experience for them" " like the old frontier days"
well... my mom lost the argument and he ordered us to eat something off that plate. nobody touched the eyeballs. My brother ate some tongue. and I ate the cheek meat. It was very tasty indeed. Best mexican steer I ever ate.
My dad was right. I am not afraid to eat anything. I am adventuresome and quite the gourmet. I eat whatever is put before me with no complaints. I am willing to eat ethnic food ,primative food and health food equally and i have definite ideas about what is "real " food and what is not.
hari krishna simply wonderfulls are not my idea of food. They rot your teeth.Equal parts rancid government surplus butter, dried government surplus powdered milk and powdered sugar. Thats not food- that's poison with a dose of caste parasitism thrown in . Stick to beef . Beef its what's for dinner. Some of us cannot drink milk at all . canned milk mixed with corn syrup was given to me from birth. I'm allergic to this day to both of them. YUCK. Corn syrup is DOPE.
titty milk, then pinto beans then steak and you'll be healthy.

Bear paw in Romania. I wouldn't order such a thing myself (they're not exactly an animal with a thriving population), but, well, when there's some on the table already...

I must admit to chickening out of some of the street food on sale in China. Deep-fried scorpion doesn't do it for me, I'm afraid, just think of all those trans-fats...

Answer 5

My first week in Greece I was served a bowl of clear colored broth. Served with lots of pepper and lemon it was quite tastey. It did however leave a strange stickyness on my lips and when asked by the ever willing to please Greeks how I liked it, my reply was "nice, but it reminds me of warm Vaseline".

That was the reply of a naive 13 year old who could not in her wildest dreams imagine that a sane person would eat boiled pigs feet. I never tried it again but I still remember that it had a soothin taste.

I'm afraid to say that I've eaten snake and a horse's todger, both when I was in Hong Kong, but not at the same time. The Octopus in Malta was a bit chewy.

- Jelly fish
- snake soup
- eels
- roast pigeon
