    Conch is awesome when fresh and prepared correctly...I don't think it's that weird but I've traveled quite a bit in the Caribbean and the Caribbean cost of Central America where it's pretty common...I think it was best in St. Maarten where you can get a lot of French Creole food done up...

    Sea Urchin Sushi (Uni) is also awesome...Octopus Sushi (Tako) is one of my favorites...

    Probably the weirdest thing I've ever had that I surprisingly liked was Blood Pudding when I was in Scotland...and Haggis...didn't think I'd like either, but they were delicious.

    Blood cake? Is that the same thing as blood pudding? Like sausage made of pork blood?

    We read a book about American pioneers, and they had several pages about roasting pig tails. My kids begged me to make them. So I did. I got this response from one of them - "this actually tastes good!"

    Oooh...I forgot, I rather enjoy Escargot...my wife and I go to this little French place here and get it...I want to try all of that other stuff except maybe not the squid ink...and maybe not the beetles (I've tried other bugs...not a fan)...and I don't think I could handle the grubs...

    I try everything else though...Frogs Legs have been on my culinary bucket list for awhile....

    And you made oxtail stew?! Is your wife Jamaican?

    Because (man cooking) + (oxtail) + (stew) = heavy Caribbean influence?

    This is from last year blood pudding rice and macaroni salad it was sooo good!

    The rice looks edible. I'll take your word on it, because I'm not eating blood. No thanks!

    No, but I've traveled quite a bit in the Caribbean and love Caribbean food...actually, I just really enjoy food from all over the place and routinely try my hand at various cuisines from around the world...they usually come out really good and I try to be authentic as possible...for whatever reason I struggle cooking Indian cuisine though...it never seems to come out quite right...

    I love to cook and just cooking regular old recipes gets boring...

    Squid ink!

    Yup! Squid ink pasta, and squid ink risotto. It's really not particularly anything, just salty. It's only weird because it's the only black food I think I've really eaten.

    I also forgot wallaby and sweetmeats (lamb pancreas). Oh, and pigeon.

    We eat 'roo often, it's kind of the Australian answer to venison, more gamey than beef, very lean and quite delicious when cooked right. I use 'roo mince in lasagne, chili, burgers etc.

    It was an actual cake made with beef blood. With nuts in it. We fried it in butter and put a little powdered sugar on it and had it for breakfast. It was delicious actually, really rich and creamy. Haven't had it in years.
