    Termites - at the Jaguar Preserve in Belize. We were with our Mayan guide and he was showing us how to survive in the wild. They taste like carrots!

    beef bone marrow
    raw steak (carpaccio)
    raw shrimp
    giant shrimp head
    uni (sea urchin)

    i don't consider many of those weird, though.. the tongue was gross.

    I've had turtle burgers and conch fritters, both good. I like cottage cheese on top of my mashed potatoes. I've tried peanutbutter & mayo sandwich, and like someone else said, don't knock it till you try it. When I was a kid I ate mayo sandwiches and butter & sugar sandwiches.

    I went to a mexican restaurant and tried cow tongue

    Tongue? I'm sorry but I refuse to eat anything that can taste me back :sick:

    I'm going to have to cancel our date on Saturday then.

    Witchetty grubs - taste not to bad, kinda like almonds
    Emu
    Kangaroo - its actually a staple in our diet now.
    Snake
    Goanna
    Crocodile
    Horse - his name was Harry and he tasted terrible, smelt bad cooking and gave everyone really really bad gas. Our neighbour made Italian sausages out of what was left over and they were so bad that even the dogs refused to eat them.

    I’ve eaten a lot of unusual things: rattlesnake, pigs feet, alligator, buffalo, duck liver, snails, squirrel, cow tongue, fish eggs, haggis, blood sausage, a cheeseburger on a krispy kreme donut, sweetbreads, turkey neck, duck organs, etc.. Every time I see something different, I must try it. The oddest (for me) would have to be chocolate covered grasshopper.
