BALUT- duck embryo
There was a fantastically funny TV show in the UK last year with Ricky Gervais called Idiot Abroad where this dish was shown during a visit to China.
One food I had a couple of years ago in Ireland was carpaccio of oisin (pronounced “osheen”), which was basically thin slices of raw young wild red deer. Horrible to think of eating Bambi raw but it was absolutely delicious - melted in the mouth like butter. Haven't had it since as it's sooooo expensive, but would eat it again in a shot (I like all my meat bloody - hate it when a good piece of meat is ruined by overcooking).0 -
I don't think I've ever eaten anything particularly "gross" yet, but I would like to try everything on this website

Most especially alligator, snake, kangaroo, and lion.0 -

Yeah mine was going to be 'mcdonalds'. LOL I am not an adventurous eater. I plan to eat eggplant for the first time ever next week. I can't even look at some of the pictures posted on this thread. LOL0 -
I would eat anything first, then tell me what it is after.
If I know what it is I would have a hard time stomaching it. xD0 -

This thread is a great appetite suppressant.

I don't think I've seen anything on this thread that I wouldn't try over McDonald's. I have eaten and liked some fast food, but I do not understand McD. Their food is just nasty.0 -

Okay, but keep in mind that some of us grew up on McDonalds, hamburger helper, frozen pizza etc so it's what we know (yes there were homecooked meals too, but as a kid you gravitate towards the things that you think taste the best b/c you don't know about whole foods, raw foods, health benefits etc). You don't know how hard it is for some of us to break those habits and try to gear ourselves toward more healthy foods. For me, eggplant is a huge stretch - I've never had it but I'm planning to make a dish with it this week. That's how foreign this whole healthy food concept is to some of us. A lot of us are used to 'mainstream' foods that while YES they are not particularly healthy, it is what we are used to and what we are trying to make better choices from.0 -

I can buy balut here in the US at almost any Asian market. In fact, I'm going to have some this week!!! MMMMMMMMMMM protein.0 -

How is it sold? Canned, frozen, dried, still in the egg? And if not sold already prepared, how do you prepare it? Just curious.
I think I'd be more inclined to try this than the blood/intestine thing. Chitterlings (pig intestines) are semi-common where I come from but I've never tried them because I don't trust anyone to clean them properly and I don't want to do it myself. I've seen them at the store frozen and labelled "ultra clean" (which always makes me wonder "as opposed to what?!?!?) but still not sure I trust the company to have the same definition of "ultra clean" that I would.0 -
I've eaten balut a couple of times just because my elders eat them. I prefer to eat them when they are younger with no fur or feather on them. When they get older, you can taste the fur and bones. You have to eat them in one bite. Kind of like eating sushi.
I see them sold in Asian markets out in the open. Kind of like how you buy eggs but I don't think it's refrigerated though.
I would eat just about anything like the embryo goat minus the flies. They don't look to tasty.0 -

I'll spare everyone pictures. I grew up eating some lovely traditional food that might turn other people a little green. a few examples:
fish ice cream (don't knock it. total comfort food)
fermented seal flipper
moose nose salad
moosehead soup
sauteed eels (divine!)
maktuq (whale fat and skin together)
and there's many more on that theme. almost all are pretty high in calories and fat - we live in the arctic and subarctic, after all. need insulation! So I don't eat much of these anymore. I do miss them though!
I've never had a fermented fish head, though we used to eat what is called "kuaq" - which basically means super fresh. meaning - raw! and fish kuaq is often eaten cold, fresh from the water, and can include heads. I always avoid things with heads. I don't like them looking at me... :huh:0 -
Oh man, I'm surprised I forgot about this until now. LUTEFISK! I've only had it once, and hated it, so it's not really a food I eat regularly. However, I am subjected to its smell every year for my college's traditional Norwegian Christmas Fest.
It's basically fish fermented in lye and served drowning in butter. It smells horrible, tastes bland, and has the texture of a wet diaper.0 -
