I know it's not technically aibu.

Mine has to be a deep fried mars bar, so sickly but so nice.

Think forced to eat crocodile in Florida once might have eaten shark. And there was that mussel pie that my sister and were really enjoying as teenagers and asked parents what the black bits were....totally put us off pie for ages...

Why does everything taste if chicken. Is it default taste

In Spain with my parents when I was young, found a naice hotel restaurant with a fixed menu. As a between course palate cleansing thing they brought out some pink sorbet in a little silver bowl.

Yummy, thought I.

Except it was thyme sorbet.

I STILL remember the vileness and it was 15 years ago!

Some weird ones...
Beaver - dried and cured, served with a pineapple salsa. Weird and nasty.
Dried fish - like fish-flavoured, thinly sliced doormat. Inedible.
Puffin - supposedly smoked, but effectively a small slab of raw meat. The taste was fine, but I couldn't get past the wobbling and oozing.
Minkie whale - very conflicted about eating it, but it was delicious.

But the weirdest...
Fermented shark - it's buried in sand for 3-6 months to draw out its toxins, and is so incredibly stinky, it's served in a sealed jar. Didn't taste quite as bad as it smelled. Never. Again.

The fermented shark...

Saucisson de l' anè! DH well, He all He all He always says, "no thanks," to this Ile de Rè delicacy!

Primafacie · 10/07/2014 23:49

Goat, horse and frog's legs are pretty mainstream, non?

I've had live ants. And seal meat.

PiperRose · 10/07/2014 23:50

I love snails!

Primafacie · 10/07/2014 23:51

Snails are yum. I could have escargots beurre a l'ail right now.

Primafacie · 10/07/2014 23:51

X post! :)

NormaStanleyFletcher · 10/07/2014 23:54

Jellyfish

bayrans · 10/07/2014 23:54

Deep fried tarantula in Cambodia.
It was crunchy.
I still have nightmares.

NormaStanleyFletcher · 10/07/2014 23:56

And chocolate ants (but not with the jellyfish)

ICanSeeTheSun · 10/07/2014 23:58
