    When you go to Asia, there are a variety of cool foods to try and eat.

    I've heard that balut is actually quite tasty. Like a roasted poultry kind of flavor. Unfortunately, I'm a very visual eater so anything that has a weird appearance or smell really turns me away.

    I can't really think of anything particularly strange about my diet. I like lima beans and coconut which are almost universally despised in my family. I think they're just weird though ;).

    And here I thought Sauerkraut or blood and tongue wurst would turn up a few noses. Not even close.

    All I can say is "each to their own".

    I'm pretty adventurous with food and have tried Sweetbreads (testicles) lots of offal (kidneys, liver, brains, haggis etc), Crocodile, Kangaroo, Ostrich, Zebra, Antelope, Bison, Wildebeest, chicken feet, insects.

    And I love love LOVE black pudding (cooked pigs blood made into a sausage shape) I could eat that allll day.

    BUT- The duck foetus doesnt appeal to me. And I wouldnt eat Dog or guinea pig either.

    Love this thread!

    I travel a lot in Asia so I've eaten some really weird things. My rule is this: never ask what it is. Better to just eat and not know.

    My current favorite "weird" food is bone marrow. I'm pretty sure most others on MFP wouldn't touch it, probably just because it's mostly fat. But I also love any and all organ meats. I'm a strange eater I think.

    I find it hilarious that we actually have Balut in the database of foods here. @ 188 calories.. not too bad

    Exactly. I'd argue that a lot of typical "American" junk/fast foods are much more crap than some of the things in this thread. How many ingredients in a twinkie?

    Ceviche & kimchi are two of my fave things to eat. My family wouldn't dare touch either one, but I've always tried new foods since I was little. I'd even try balut if given the chance. Oh... I've also eaten chitlins but it was years ago so I don't remember the taste. I'm a fan of bleu cheese. I've also tried durian and it's "ok"... not too bad but not my favorite thing ever.

    In Canada I eat Rabbit, oxtail and goat..... love it. In central america I eat ceviche and have even had raw tuna right after being caught. Unless it is liver I will probably eat it.

    Do you really want to know it's bull testicles? Actually other glands may be used but that is one of them.

    I have a propensity to try extremely hot foods. I've even gone as far as eating whole red savina and orange habanero peppers (I haven't had the opportunity to try any of the hotter peppers, but would).

    I have no problems killing my own meat, slaughtering pigs, field dressing deer, cutting intestines out of whatever and I'll eat any part of any animal... But I don't think I could eat a little baby duck. That makes me kind of sad.
