To ask what strange foods you have eaten?

[hellokittymania]

In the Philippines I have eaten ice cream with chili, pork intestines and fried fat intestines and a few other things . Bicol Express was good but I still don't know what was in it. I draw the line though at trying goats eyes Ballut. I don't like eggs anyway unless they are made of chocolate

I have also had dog and sneak in Vietnam and fill worms and crickets in Thailand.

Except for the ice cream and the Bicol express, I don't think I would want to try the other things again

Lettuce and custard. I don't know why but I was craving it. Very nice.

[KKthePanda]

Various creepy crawlies and drank goats blood mixed with milk, wouldn't recommend either, both absolutely rank

[Wishiwasmoiradingle2017]

Shark
Didn't know what it was or wouldn't have eaten it BTW.

[Klaphat]

I've eaten plenty of different types of herring on rye bread since then, but the day I had Bismarckhering in a roll like that I was still a bit picky, but absolutely ravenous, and my companion was most surprised when I wolfed it down. I think he bought it for the lols when I presumably would look at it and be horrified.

I've also had smoked eel, was quite nice.

[Juveniledelinquent]

I'm upset and disgusted that the OP has eaten dog.

[PageNowFoundFileUnderSpartacus]

Does a MacDonalds Filet-o-Fish count?

[hellokittymania]

Panda they both song gruesome ! At this one restaurant in Mindanao they specialize in goat everything but I don't think that one was on the menu .... just the thought ....

[greenworm]

Squirrel, but there was hardly any meat on it, a lot of gnawing involved, and it wasn't really worth the bother.

[CigarsofthePharoahs]

I've eaten Ye Old Oak hotdogs a few times. I dread to think what they're made of!
Aside from that -
A lovely pot of mixed seafood from Lulworth Cove that contained all sorts of things including a tiny octopus!

[MerryRealisation]

I've eaten squirrel as well. It was BBQ'd and a bit rubbery.

[WaegukSaram]

I've eaten dog, too. I didn't enjoy it, and I'd never eat it again. I was with a group and did it to be polite.

The weirdest thing I ate was some weird sea creature, it was chopped up but still moving as I ate it.

[TwentyCups]

No use being upset and disgusted over eating dog unless you feel exactly the same about cows, pigs and chickens. There is no difference.
And I say that as a vegan.

However to add to the thread - as a very small child (4 or so) I ate reindeer having been told it was ham! Was most upset at being tricked into eating Rudolph . Perhaps not surprising I stopped eating meat shortly after!

[pinkpopcorn]

I had Guinea pig whilst in Peru. It still had its head including teeth! It was really crispy, so tasted pretty good

[Nomorechickens]

Friend in a French restaurant, proud at how well he could read French, ordered escargots (snails). Unfortunately he didn't look properly because they we actually escargots de mer, sea slugs. Apparently they were pretty much as you'd expect ie rubbery, slimy, salty and not really edible

[SmileEachDay]

I'm upset and disgusted that the OP has eaten dog. Why?


Tripe. Absolutely disgusting.
Jellied pigs trotters.

[123bananas]

Crocodile - like chickeny fish

Lungs - not sure what animal- didn't like the rubbery texture.

Tripe

Sea snail

Land snail - yum with garlic

Drew the line at brains.

Ants, coal, soap, worms and mud as a young child.

[TinyBarista]

Another BBQ'ed squirrel eater here. Was hairy and reminded me of a testicle. Appetising...

[venys]

I was going to say Cuy (Guinea Pig) except I didn't like mine. I am usually like most foods too. I have had reindeer , pickled herring, and smoked eel too but I actually didn't think it was that unusual in this part of the world. I have had llama in Ecuador (actually quite nice) and crocodile and emu in Australia. But nothing weird like creepy crawlies or monkey brains I am afraid.

[hellokittymania]

Dog is actually eaten in many countries northern Thailand and the Philippines Laos I believe Vietnam and China. Not something I would recommend but when you're the guest and people go out of their way then you try it. I usually ask people not to tell me what I am eating until after I had finished eating it . The pig intestine fat got a few laughs while I was eating it.

I don't think dog is as bad as urine the eggs or what ever they are called.

[WaegukSaram]

I've eaten sea slugs before - they are absolutely VILE, and I say that as someone who likes just about everything.

The urine eggs

[ArchNotImpudent]

Sheeps brains - in Bulgaria - had taken a couple of mouthfuls before someone told me what they were, and then I couldn't face eating any more - though from what I remember they didn't taste unpleasant, and had the texture of dried mushrooms.

[redexpat]

Zebra and Gazelle (Kenya). Delicious.
Horse. Meh.
Puffin (Iceland) tasted of fish
