What is the strangest, weirdest thing you've ever eaten?

Oh I luuuurve squid, I have it often..:p. probably at least once a month...the thing with squid is, it's so easy to overcook it, and it tastes like rubber bands.. so if that's how you've had it, then it would be enough to put you off

I think probebly the strangest thing I've had .. ( and I'm sure it's not strange compared to some others )... but Curried Frogs legs in a Chinese restaurant in the centre of Paris, ... errrk.. horrible...:sick:

...also horse meat in a burger bun in Northern Italy ... didn't know it was horse meat till later..

I've eaten lots of different things..like Crocodile, Ostrich, Kangaroo.. ( in fact I have Ostrich steaks in the fridge right now )..

Horse meat and goose. In Paris.
And, no one told me till afterwards...o_O

The horse meat was eaten on little forks that we dipped in to hot oil to cook...then in to dipping sauces.
Just tasted like steak.

I don't remember the taste of the goose. That may be a good thing. lol

Goose is deeeelicious, ( albeit very fatty so you have to be careful) I have that or Duck at Christmas :p
 
Years ago, when in Thailand, I got drunk enough to try some Rice/Water bugs at a local restaurant in a nearby town. Those things are a dietary "staple" there, but once was enough for me.

I've watched some youtube videos of street food from the orient , China,THailand, Korea etc..I wouldn't ever eat any of it... they even cook eggs which have baby birds inside... and it's looked on as a delicacy...*barff*
 
My 8th grade French teacher brought escargots. I tried one.
When I was 5, I noticed our cat went crazy over Tender Vittles, & I just had to try some. It wasn't very good. Neither was the raw liver she liked.
I did the same thing with Friskies Kibble. Tasted like wood.
 
  • Alligator - chewy!
  • Silkworm larva - quite good; crispy shell, soft starchy inside. Little flavor except for the soy sauce, but texture was reminiscent of a french fry.
  • Crickets - crispy but boring. All crunch, nothing else. Cricket flour, btw, is a high-protein additive for baking.
  • Sea urchins aka sea cucumber - again, little flavor but a soft texture.
  • Jellyfish - a moderately crunchy texture, little flavor.
  • Raw octopus - love it cooked, but raw it's slimy in texture.
  • Durian - yup, it smells just like dirty gym socks. Flavor is mild, a texture like custard. It's okay but didn't excite me.
 
once when husband was working in a small town in Louisiana ........ the local restaurant had a bit of everything platter .........I asked waitress what all was on it she said .... "Do not worry about it sweetie best you don't know "
