I know it's not technically aibu.

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

Lion and Black Bear in America!

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.)

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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...

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