    Yes we have Balut at our New Year's party tonight! Hope many here don't drink too much because I don't want to see it come back up!

    We raised and ate ostrich for several years. I like it but it's not easy to come by since we sold the ranch we raised them on.

    Cow tongue or sheep tongue were regulars in our household. I've had rabbit stew (admittedly didn't know it was rabbit til afterwards) and it was good. Love Black pudding.

    Don't think I could stomach the OP's foods but lately the smell of fried food makes me feel ill, so to each their own :smile:

    I really did throw up about 30 minutes ago. This isn't helping. I thought we were supposed to post foods that we eat that we didn't think many others like. Mine is cottage cheese.

    Haha, I was just about to post this! I remember as a kid, we ate them.

    Also rotten corn.. corn fermented (in Maori - kaanga piro) in running water. Then mixed with cream. The smell is horrendous and I've only tried it once - taste isn't so bad, I just couldn't stand the smell!

    Food is a cultural thing! What is "food"/"not food" accross the world is soooo itneresting! For example, I was eating a meal with some friends who were new to the country I lived in, and was mortifyed when I saw them sucking the bone marrow out of the bones of the meat we were eating. Then one of them turned to me and said "Do you like to eat crab? or Lobster? I think that's so gross, you break the skeleton and eat the little bits of meat inside- ewwwww!". I thought that was pretty funny and true!
    you eat that!? I was gonna say liver & onions but nevermind
    Don't knock till you try it!!!!

    I eat rabbits on a semi-regular basis, also pigeons. When I was a hungry student, I ate a fair few squirrels.

    Blood is useful to thicken stews - just dont tell people thats what you are doing, I always try and thicken stew made from hare with its blood - dont get many of em these days though.

    My wife wasn't keen on the sprats we had for dinner last night - they are like small herring - floured and fried, you eat them whole - but I leave the heads/bones on the bigger ones, on the smaller ones I eat the lot. Nom.

    Also love black pudding, its one of my treat items.

    Food and culture are so intertwined that I find this post- and a lot of the reactions- very interesting. There's a lot of Filipino food around where I live and I like a lot of it. I've never tried Balut and don't think I would. Closer to my own culture, there is haggis which I also have no interest in trying. I grew up on a pretty standard American diet; the most unusual things I remember from my childhood were the liver and onions my dad would occasionally cook or the pickled eggs he'd make with vinegar, beet juice, and spice.

    I like a few more mundane things that some people won't touch: raw oysters, sardines, and most sushi/sashimi although I don't care for eel or sea urchin. Ceviche is good too.
