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?

Eaten a few weird things in my time

Walkie Talkie - deep fried chick feet and heads, very crunchy, not much else to it
Calves Brain - absolutely lush
Tried Crocodile, wasn't overly keen on it but loved Zebra and Giraffe
Agree with PP Horse is amazing!
The most recent was on a trip to Nepal, not sure what it was called but it's deep fried buffalo scrotum stuffed with marrow - was actually really nice.

Bulls testicles (known as Rocky Mountain oysters)

I've eaten barbequed ostrich steak.

Not sure why people would boast about eating some of these things - especially lion! And yes - I feel exactly the same about factory farmed U.K. meat. The difference is that people don’t boast about eating it

Fried ants in Cambodia. They were mixed with rice and chillies though so couldn't really taste them. They just added crunch.

Also sea urchin, I liked that.

Raw sheep's eyes at a Scout & Guide cookout in Kent. It was for a bet. I thought to myself "I bet that will gross out all of the others." I was right.

MrsMoasty I’ve had ostrich too....it was foul Like a cow and a chicken had a baby and the ostrich steak was it’s mutant baby

I had ostrich recently on a trip to SA and really liked it. We had springbok there too.

I worked my way through Africa eating the animals. Lion, giraffe, warthog, kudu, springbok, alligator etc etc. most were delicious, lion was meh.

I'm not veggie or vegan but I can't imagine eating Lion or Giraffe meat

I drew the line at zebras. I couldn't eat them. Or monkeys. I've stopped eating octopodes since I read about their intelligence.

But lions? I mean I don't eat apex predators because they don't taste good and generally aren't good for you. A lioness I wouldn't eat. They do all the bloody work.

Shark's semen probably.

Have also had chicken sashimi, rotted oysters, grasshoppers, a massive beetle (gagged on that one), that rotting Icelandic fish thing, century eggs, sea urchin, pigs feet, cows head, lambs brains, sweetbreads, chicken feet, alligator, bear stew, century eggs, and probably some I've forgotten.

Cocks testicles stew (Hungary), horse.

Non meat foodstuffs: natto and durian (the taste wasn't so bad, but the burps were awful afterwards).

All those people who say they've eaten lion, it was probably just loin bought from a dyslexic butcher.

In the USA - A camel burger. Very nice, it tasted a bit like venison.

lion was meh.

I've heard that it's not that nice, in the mane.

craft, I think I love you!

The fermented shark in Iceland was so gross. But we’re going back and I might do it again for my kids.

Witchity grub in Aus as a child. Ick.

Queen ant in Bolivia. It was actually served in a leaf taco and was delicious.

Piranha in Peru. Just tasted like basic meat.

Bat. Served wings and all.

Even when I ate meat I stayed away from things at the top of the food chain... a colleague had some swordfish and got some kind of toxins so bad that they flew his wife and children over to say goodbye. He survived but lost 50% bodyweight. The doctors said it was fortunate that he was well built otherwise, curtains.

Dried yak cheese in Tibet. I've never met a cheese I didn't like. Except that one.

I've never met a cheese I didn't like. Except that one.

When I ate cheese I'd try anything except that Sardinian one with maggots in it. Gjetost was pretty nasty too, but just because it was so sickly sweet.

Brawn which is brains in jelly. Lovely.
A huge dish of snails in garlic in rural Spain, very tasty but I spent a lot of time in the loo at the airport afterwards.

Rat many years ago in Ethiopia
Whale and fermented shark in Iceland. Fermented shark was truly disgusting. Whale was surprisingly edible and steak like.
Horse obviously. I suspect most non vegetarians have.

Jellyfish soup in Hong Kong, had a very very different texture!
