What was the weirdest food that you've ever eaten?

Question

example alligator, cow tongue....

Answer 1

I had a dish in Peru that is very popular there. It is called cuy. Here in the USA, we call it Guinea Pig.

I didn't want to offend the host, especially since this seemed to be their idea of the best food there ever was. I don't think it actually tasted bad, but the presentation was hard for me to take - it was served whole.

Answer 2

hmm...well, i consider those normal and yummy actually. Ive taken many and am a certified teacher in wilderness survival classes...so just imagine the creepy crawlys. Worms, bugs, tree bark, many plants, ants are tasty, crickets have a nice crunch, worms are kinda like spighetti and just slide on down, termites make a good addition to a mint leaf or rose hip,, even an evergreen tea for some protein. Lets just say im not picky. Eyeballs are yummy to suck on, joints and marrow are great and make a good backwoods soup. Bones even when boiled for a long time a good crunchy snacks to munch on. Ive cought chipmonks, ground squrials, rabbits, and the like and eaten the whole thing, excluding intestines. Brains are a tasty snack to, esp roasted over an open fire. Ive got some backwoods recipies if youd like some.

Answer 3

Brain curry (of a cow). It may sound weird, but it is my favourite. Beef tongue is actually pretty common in both the East and West. In the East they have tongue curries and in the West they have vld tongue sandwiches.

Answer 4

Fried frog legs (Very tasty and good I might add) at a cruise, Fried green iguana (tree chicken) very nasty since i saw when it was killed, gutted cut in squares and could still see the nerves moving when it was fried, last but not least "morcilla" (more-see-ya) which is the pigs blood boiled in extreme heat and mixed with rice and spices then shoved inside the porks intestine linings (clean, but still intestine linings) kind of like sausages..and yes, they are amazing good!!

Answer 5

Wild goat. My grandfather was an old mountain man and he would hunt for food. We had eaten wild goat many times, plus who knows what else. We weren't allowed to ask. I do know that we ate Rocky Mountain Oysters too. If we asked what it was, he sent us from the table, saying that you should eat what is put in front of you without question. If he shot it, we ate it.

Answer 6

I had Christmas with some friends one year. The friend hosting the dinner is a French Romanian. I don't know the names of the dishes, but the first was cubed beef in some clear jello-ton. The dish was served cold. It was not good at all. The second dish was some kind of seafood gumbo with squid tentacles. It was very spicy but tasted better than it looked. It was a very interesting Christmas.

Answer 7

A lot of my friends think my love of pickled herring is weird....being part Finnish, we grew up on it. It's not "cooked", like ceviche. We also had Head Cheese, EEeeeee...not good.

I love Jamaican goat curry and kimchee and calamari too........

My X made me try a peanut butter and sardine sandwich...not bad.

Since being in Florida I've had alligator, frog's legs and rattlesnake, some people might find that weird...(pretty good, though! Although I really like frogs and don't want to eat anymore of them)

Answer 8

iv'e tried: pickled cow tongue,which was rather good
deer stew-good
fried squid rings-love it
raw oysters-hated it.like eating slimy eyeballs
baby octopus-rubbery

i still want to try rattle snake,alligator,ostrich and buffalo

Answer 9

Seal penis! I had dinner in Kyoto prepared by one of the best chefs in the city. He prepared the dinner -- amazing number of courses -- in his own home. When he brought out the above mentioned item, he announced it with its Japanese name. My friend, who speaks the language very well, blushed, asked him to repeat himself, then asked him to explain -- was it a euphemism ?? -- No, it was actually seal penis.

I am afraid I didn't study its appearance, but it seemed rather small. It was a light tan color. It was lightly pickled, and a bit chewy - more than meat, less than cartilage.

As it had a rather neutral taste, I suspect it wasn't worth the price -- either for me or for the seal.

Answer 10

I love escargot, have tried sushi but it is a little hot for my taste, and one year for Christmas dinner made bear steak-it was delicious. I also enjoy Philipine food-especially the pansit.
