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?

San-nakji (in Korea) - known as "live octopus" (though technically not)

Had to drink quite a bit of soju to do the deed, but it was delicious.

Also had dog soup there (only once to try it)

Squirrel..... Delicious. Ostrich, horrible.

Dog soup?!?!! 😱

I have century egg from time to time.

Turtle curry in Guyana. Could see its little legs in the sauce so it felt very mean.
'Chickens arses in batter' in the Phillipnes - local colleague wouldn't tell us what the 'delicacy dish' was until we had eaten it. I was drunk and it was yummy!

Pigs tails - my Nan used to always give us those when we were little. Delicious.

Oh, I feel sad at the thought of people eating Lions, Giraffes, horses, zebras etc.

I have tried:
Crocodile burger (tastes like chicken with the texture of fish)
Buffalo burritos (DH shot and butchered it, I cooked it myself in the slow cooker).
Magpie Goose Enchiladas (DH shot and butchered, I cooked it in the slow cooker)
Kangaroo sausages (this is a weekly dish in our house)
Black Duck and Black Bean stir fry (again, DH shot and butchered and I cooked it up)
Goat and Rabbit (Dad shot these a fair bit and brought the meat home).
Rock Cod (speared by my DH, we slow cooked it on the BBQ, tasted amazing)
Oysters fresh off the rocks.
Oysters, mud mussels, and "longbums" (a type of sea snail that lives in mud in the mangroves), cooked in a fire on the beach by some locals.
I have been offered Turtle meat as well but I draw the line there as they are an endangered species.

Most of my "unusual" foods have been game meat or wild meat, and most of this list are specialties to northern Australia and Arnhem Land, where I lived in a remote community for 3 years.

Good times!

Turtle curry in Guyana.

How much did you have to shell out for that?

Ireallywant horse is quite a common thing in most of Europe, same as beef or pork is here.
It’s actually one of the leanest, heart-healthy meats to go for!

I've also had grey squirrel - a bit like beef, but a bugger to skin and only the back half is really worth bothering with - and collared dove, which is unsurprisingly like pigeon.

My granny told me in the 2nd world war, people ate what they called roof rabbit (cough) it was actually cat.

Have eaten every game meat going. The snipe is a strange thing, pluck, put on a piece of bread with its beak stuck in its bum and roast in its entirety. That did not appeal to me at all.
