I'm curious.

I tried Escargot on a cruise ship and while it was not that bad, I would never eat it again. Just the thought alone makes me shudder.

    I'll admit I'm a fan of frog legs, but I've never tried conch.. Opinion?

    The weirdest food does come from the sea doesn't it.. Unless we're talking about Mountain Oysters.

    Crickets, grasshoppers, ants. Nothing like being a troop leader and showing the boys what they can eat in the wild

    This store I visited sold cool ranch seasoned crickets. As much as my mouth watered for it, I couldn't do it.

    Crickets are an excellent source of protein. With enough of them you can make a good flour that can be baked with.

    Did you at least cook them first? Gross.

    The texture is really weird - it was erm, squishy (the only edible part of a sea urchin are its, ahem, balls if you will as I found out later) Other than that it just taste like the ocean. Briney and slightly fishy but it wasn't bad.

    Conch is good especially if it's cajun style

    Huge fan of cajun food.

    I don't fully regret looking it up. Just a little.

    No matter how adventurous I am with food, I can never eat balls. If you would eat it again, I give you props!

    Fried up the crickets and grasshoppers. Made the ants into a chocolate bark type treat
