I know it's not technically aibu.

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

Guinea pig with chips
Tasted like chicken Hmm

OfaFrenchMind · 11/07/2014 10:00

Dog skewers, and fried termits.

MaMaPo · 11/07/2014 10:21

Oh, kangaroo is a great everyday meat. Very lean and good for you.

I forgot goose intestine! In a hotpot in China. Deeee-licious. (No, genuinely.)

Ketchuphidestheburntbits · 11/07/2014 10:31

A burger and chips including the gherkin slice from a well-known chain. It didn't taste like anything I recognised (definitely not chicken).

ithoughtofitfirst · 11/07/2014 10:32

Wtf. Some of these are stinkin!

I tried eel once. But that's nothing, obviously!

Bankholidaybaby · 11/07/2014 11:05

Live ants at Noma when they came to Claridge's. They tasted like lemongrass.

gordyslovesheep · 11/07/2014 11:06

Sea urchin, male and female apparently, yuck.

StandardHeight · 11/07/2014 12:56

Oh and springbok, yummy

DogCalledRudis · 11/07/2014 13:00

Pigs brains (yummy), a parakeet's egg (strange)

Flumpf · 11/07/2014 13:00

Placenta.

MaMaPo · 11/07/2014 13:09

Oh yes! Pig vagina in Romania. We originally ordered the testicles but the helpful waiters said the vagina was better.

LindaMcCartneySausage · 11/07/2014 13:12

Camel's testicle in curry gravy in China

Rotten shark meat soused with vodka and puffin in Iceland

Sea slug in Singapore

I didn't go back for secondsGrin

PetulaG Mopane worms as well, in fact a took a bag of them back from Botswana to my local pub in London. A mate of mine got rather drunk and finished them off like a bag of cheese and onion crisps. His GF was not impressed.

I ate rat in North Nigeria, like many others on this thread, I had no choice.

NigellasDealer · 11/07/2014 13:25

eels and liquor with mash

ithoughtofitfirst · 11/07/2014 14:11

flumpf I wanted to eat my placenta. Not beforehand but then when I saw it ... after about 4 days of no sleep and a really long labour I must have been starving because it looked LUSH. but then someone handed me some toast and the moment passed.

Smilesandpiles · 11/07/2014 14:14

Sour cream and chive crickets.

Thurlow · 11/07/2014 14:16

Lambs brains - not too bad, actually.

And tripe. Which was ok until you worked out what it was. This was abroad, in a run-down boarding school. The other English girl with me was adamant that we must be eating calamari Grin

AmberLav · 11/07/2014 14:16

Seal is surprisingly nice, sort of like fishy beef, but I had to close my mind to the thought, that was in Greenland. Whale was chewy, in the same place (all meat is provided by the hunters...) Whale blubber is very unappetising...

taxi4ballet · 11/07/2014 14:17

Ugali - revolting cornmeal sludge cooked on a paraffin stove and tasted like it too.
