What was the strangest thing you ever ate?

[Blasfemo]

Seems most of you are American but surely some of you had some more strange food or delicatessen or animal. Share away! and make a point what you enjoyed and what you did not please.

The 2 most strange things i ever had were

1) lamprey

2) Snails

3) Ranidae legs only...

I love the snails if they are well prepared of course.

Lamprey i only had a two timer still making my mind up, once i liked it, the last one not so much, overall i think its the most incomparable i ever had tastes like nothing i had before...

The frog legs taste like fry chicken.

The first one is like uuuuuuuh wtf!!!!

Sorry, I have conservative tastes and an obsessive need to know what I'm eating before I eat it.

chocolate covered bugs is about as strange as it gets for me.

Although, some folks think cornbread and milk is strange.

While on mission in Peru I ate a big, fat, nasty, undercooked jungle grub. It was about as big as your thumb, and was utterly disgusting. Probably would have been better if it was properly cooked. I turned a delicate shade of green. The Peruvians found this to be very entertaining.

Last spring I toasted some local beetle grubs over a campfire. These were surprisingly good - rather like roasted pumpkin seeds.

I tried a big fat black ant last fall. It really didn't taste like anything.

I've had frog, snake, and gator - but those are pretty tame, really.

I've tried a lot of wild edible plants, and most of them aren't exactly delicious.

owl
i ate an owl...once...dont do it. you have to boil it all day for it to not feel like a pice of tier in your mouth. btw that is not how i got my name

[doug1980]

Well I'll try anything once so my list is long. Worms, snails, squid, gator, camel, ants, balut, kimchi, cow tongue, cow brains, pig nuts and a lot of stuff I didn't know what it was but I ate it.

Just thought of another weird dish that Sourdough fed me. Polish sausage boiled in coffee. Mmmmm pretty good.

[crashdive123]

McDonalds. I barely survived.

[oldtrap59]

How about head cheese and blood cheese? Beef tongue and hog nuts aren't strange to me having grown up in a family that always did their own butchering. Used to eat alot of puddun. ( made from meat scraps boiled with alot of seasonings) real good on fried mush.

Mc'ds? Buttermilk? Ugh! now I am feelin weezy.

[oldtrap59]

If your lamprey is what I think it is, it is very much like eel. Have tried that and it wasn't to bad.

[Blasfemo]

ye old trap is that parasitic eel you think... i have missed feelings about it one more month and it will start a gastronomic festival dedicated to it and i will trty a 3 timer.

WOW how does that taste?? i only saw that once or twice and if i remember they had some snail type stuff around them i had no idea they were edible.

[kyratshooter]

They said it was a beef barito!

I heard an older guy refer to someone as being "tougher then a boiled owl"..I always wondered just how tough owl must be...thanks for clearing that up!

As far as what I've eaten, there is quite a list. The strangest probably is field mouse but IMO lobster was the worst! Yuck, eating an ocean roach just doesnt make sense when I can get a steak and actually feel content (and not smell like Jonah) when I'm done.

[Rick]

So....Camp.....What say you give me that nasty old lobster you have and I'll give you these delicious field mice?
