to ask what is the craziest thing you’ve ever eaten?

[bellver888]

I can’t sleep and I’m watching a tv show on really unique delicacies across the world.

It’s got me thinking, what is the most crazy thing you’ve ever eaten?

(I feel like it’s the last day of the 6 weeks holidays and I’m up watching odd stuff all night!)

Tripe curry. Um, interesting...

Sea cucumber. I thought it was a gherkin type thing.

Not me but my exH. Note the EX.

Fruit bat
Field rat
Horseshoe crab.

I didn’t.

We went to China and he ate bear paw while I had egg fried rice.

I had escargot (snails) and I enjoyed it at the time but now I don't think I could eat it.

I think I must be pretty squeamish because there's a long list of things I wouldn't eat, like tripe or snails. I was served a calves brain but didnt eat it, it was like meat blancmange.
Frogs legs were nice, like prawn flavoured chicken.

I've eaten whole battered soft shell crab before.

Not particularly crazy I suppose but not what I'd normally eat. In fact, it makes me feel queasy I've eaten that. Crab eyes & all 🤢 I was at a very expensive restaurant for my 18th birthday in London. Meal all paid for & I didn't feel like I could say no.

Tarantulas... Crunchy!

Andouillette de Troyes Sausage. Envisage boiled guts with vomit gravy and that about sums it up. Revolting.

Iguana. I was visiting a friend in the Caribbean and he killed it in his garden late at night. People in the area didn't get much meat to eat, so they would feast on whatever they could catch.

I'm sorry to report it didn't taste very exciting - like chicken, as people say about most strange meat.

Soft shell crab is gorgeous, not crazy

Various bugs for me, surprisingly nice www.thebugfarm.co.uk/about-us/grub-kitchen/

I would not eat snails but happily eat whelks which are basically sea snails. I was given then as a young child so they never seemed odd to me.

I was introduced to fish eyeballs and chicken feet by my Chinese friend. Not an experience I wish to repeat.

Cows tongue
Pigeon
Frogs legs

All nice but wasn't aware of what I was actually eating at the time except the pigeon

Brown stew Iguana as well in the Caribbean and shark on the same island. It was one of the smaller islands and Bush meat is just a dome thing. I'm also too polite to turn down food. And I agree it was like chicken maybe crossed with monk fish(?)

Various game
Frogs legs
Snails

Cock

Oh actually I also worked in a restaurant in my teens where I've also had buffalo, moose, bear (fucking disgusting) and emu. I couldn't do beaver it stinks so badly.

When the big pillar candle that had been burning on the table got cut in two and out came a fish that was then served to us, that was quite a shocker.

Duck flippers. Not good.

Pigs ears. Made me dry heave. Also not good.

Rat, snake, insects, shark, bird nest soup.

Mostly out of politeness when travelling or on work trips.

And when I was a kid, I was dared to lick a bar of soap 🧼

Escargots and a lambs head tagine. Both were so delicious. The tongue was my favourite part.

Honey ants
Snake

Not sure this counts as eating as I spat it out: fermented shark in Iceland (the country, not the supermarket).

It tastes like shit smells.

Raw bacon.

Lambs brain - gross
Lambs intestine - surprisingly good
Porcupine - pretty good
Ostrich - ok if cooked well
Kangaroo - per ostrich
Elk - delicious and common in Finland
Snails - delicious
