AIBUto ask you what was the most unusual food you ever ate?

[Flyingfish2019]

I ate fried grasshoppers. Actually they tasted delicious. What did you eat?

Fly burger in Mozambique. I tried it while working out there near lake Victoria. It didn't taste of anything. No seasoning was used at all. A few years later there was a documentary
about it on the BBC.

I had a lion chop.

Cooked or roar?

I have drunk fermented lare's milk and fermented camel's milk

Bith a delicacy where I was living. An aquired taste, but OK. Wouldn't ever choose to order it on a menu though!

Horse - eaten a LOT of horse. Horse sausage is deliciousl

Craft 😁

BBQ chicken brains. Quite tasty.

Unidentified roadside meat. Asked what it was (while eating) and the matey just smiled at me. Ate loads, it was delicious

Same trip i nibbled a bit of skewered rat and ate mudfish, both not great but still food

A bull's penis sausage

whoops, not lare's milk, MARE's milk

some of these sound like bushtucker trials!

Horse - eaten a LOT of horse.

It always gives me the trots .

Alligator. It was like weird chicken.

It always gives me the trots .

I went into a restaurant in Madrid once and there was guy eating these 2 huge meatballs. I asked the waiter if I could have the same but he said it wasn't possible, as they were bull testicles. There was a bullring round the corner and each night they would serve the testicles of the poor creature than had died in the ring as a one off meal to the first person who ordered them.

So the next night I got there early and ordered the testicles. They were lovely, but much smaller than what the guy had had the night before. When I'd finished them I thanked the waiter and asked why they were so small. And he replied "seniorita....sometimes, the bull...it wins."

Alligator. It was like weird chicken.

Alligator and crocodile are nice, but can take ages to cook. My advice if you order it, always ask them to make it snappy.

Horse, absolutely to die for- nicest meat I ever had

Goat, didn’t love it, didn’t hate it. It was a bit sticky and fatty

Spaghetti bolocamel, fine

You wouldn’t get me eating most on people’s lists! Duck embro? No thanks 🤢

We had Aligator meat in Florida. Tasted ok. I was 10 so I can’t remember much about it. But I think it was very fish like.

Brilliant Craft!

I rather like trying unusual meats, I've had squirrel, lion, zebra, springbok... the best thing so far I think is Giraffe Sausage, its like delicious beef.

Lambs brain fritters in Rome. Not that unusual. Had a sort of claggy texture!

Oh you were all brave.

Not the word I’d choose, cruel more like.

Hakarl - fermented shark - in Iceland.

I actually really liked it - we bought some to take home... (blush)

Why specifically? Factory-farmed meat in Western countries is more likely to be problematic than some of these. Unless you object to all meat eating, in which case, fair enough.

But Lion steaks though

In rural, northern Thailand meeting DH’s extended family for the first time, I tried:

• BBQ snake (was alright, kind of like tough chicken)
• Owl (which was shot out of a tree by MIL, plucked, gutted and roasted. Was a bit like pheasant)
• Crispy grasshopper/cricket/mystery insects (didn’t really taste of anything, just salt and chilli)

I'm not veggie or vegan but I can't imagine eating Lion or Giraffe meat. It doesn't seem right some how.
