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!)

Crocodile - tastes chickeny.

Puffin - not good as a starter but marinaded as a main course, very nice.

A deep-fried tarantula. Horrible. The legs crunched as I bit into them.

Play-doh. Doesn't taste like it used to though!

Bull penis. And yes, even after it was cooked there was still semen in it.

Durian fruit fritters. I cannot express how repulsive they smelt, but had been made as a gift for me so I had to eat them.

Crocodile. It was grim.

BBQ bison

I was coming in to say soft shell crab. It was bloody delicious. I had crocodile, it wasn’t great.

My dgm used to cook everything of a chicken. Occasionally I’d get a clawed foot. I’d see it’s head with beak and the poor buggers eyes closed.

Crocodile (Thailand)
Bull frog (China)
Duck bones (China)
Whale (Norway)
Jellyfish (Thailand)

Duck tongues were served at the same place as the jellyfish though couldn’t bring myself to try them. Literally all lined up on a platter. As PP said, mostly on work trips when we did such a thing!

Ostrich
Crocodile
Buffalo
Kangaroo
Mealworms (in a burger and just dried ones from my rats treats)

Crocodile. It’s a bit odd, like a hybrid of chicken & fresh tuna. I enjoyed eating it, but at the time I was worried that I was scoffing an endangered species.

That is not the case. Crocodiles &alligators are sustainably farmed for their skins which are made into high-end leathers and the meat is a by-product. The reverse of beef cattle, in fact.

Fried chicken feet and lamb brain. Not too crazy really... though I felt very adventurous when I tried them. Both were quite good.

Alligator, I'd definitely order again!

My own placenta. Made it into a pate following a chicken liver pate recipe. I only tried a tiny bit, and threw the rest away. It was my ex's idea.

I’ve tried:

Frog’s legs
Chicken’s feet - horrible
Snake
Kangaroo
Ostrich
A type of glowworm thing - revolting

DH ate cuy which is guinea pig in Ecuador. Worst thing was there was a large cage with the guinea pigs happily snuggling.., unaware of their imminent fate. I tried durian fruit in Thailand and it was the most vile thing I ever tasted - like rotting flesh soaked in nail varnish remover, felt sick all day. I tried a dog biscuits once as a dare, it was ok

Durian fruit fritters. I cannot express how repulsive they smelt, but had been made as a gift for me so I had to eat them.

I once had a durian ice lolly. It tasted much like what I imagine a rotten onion frozen in a milky syrup would taste like.

In Thailand, I once had a green bean and corn ice lolly. It wasn’t unpleasant, just a bit strange.

I ate the OP which is why they haven’t come back.

Crocodile
Ostrich

My dad was in China and as their guest of honour had to watch the family cut a snakes head off, drain it’s blood and feed it to him.

Vile

Piranha. It was cooked whole and I was fascinated by its teeth.
I also had catfish on the same trip - I like fish but that tasted muddy

Duck tongues (taste like liver - bleeurgh) and chicken feet. Both in China. The colleague I go to visit tries me with different things each time I visit....I drew the line at sharks fin soup.

@HagenDaz 😂😂😂😂😂

Sea cucumber
Alligator
Snake
Frogs legs

This thread is such a great appetite suppressant. I’m not very adventurous with food but the most horrible things I’ve eaten:

Chitterlings, creamed beef (for breakfast, ground beef cooked in milk), sea urchins

I like to give myself a tummy ache sometimes just imagining the horrible stuff some of my ancestors must have lived on

Duck tongues at a chinese restaurant in UK- they tasted really good but it blew my mind they have a bone in them!
Also a Malaysian dessert that was made from wood pulp when on honeymoon in Malaysia. Its tasted like wood pulp 🤮
