Strangest this you ever ate...

HelloSweetie4

Just wondering what are some of the crazy things people have eaten. Mine's not too exciting, I ate squid tenticles (thats tenticles not testicles!)

I'm not an adventerous eater...at all. The strangest thing was probably when I tasted calamari - which isn't really that strange!

squid, all of it & quails eggs are a standard part of our diet at home. chicken feet, deep fried a personal fav of mine.

My husband is from thailand so we eat all sorts of weird stuff. My mother in law makes an interesting small frog soup, whole small frogs cooked in a broth, their little bodies bloat up & they float on top of the soup. I wasn't keen, my son who was 2 at the time quite liked it though. We were invited to a neighbours place one time, they make silk & as a special honour of our visit took the silk worms & fried them up in hot oil or us.

Other normal foods is buying insect on sticks from roadside vendor when on car trips. I have tried the grasshopper but the specially bred cockroaches were a step too far for me.

Hmm I'm a pretty adventurous eater so there are things I've had that I wouldn't consider strange, but most probably would...

I've had foie gras, beef tartare, roasted bone marrow, eel, squid, sea urchin, rocky mountain oysters (yep, bulls' balls)...OH! When I was 16 I went on a theatre trip to NYC with a bunch of friends and we tried chocolate covered grasshoppers in Chinatown. They were crunchy.

Omg they have fried alligator on a stick at this semi-annual festival here, and it's SO GOOD!

I could go on and on. I'll try anything. Anytime I pick up a menu and see something I've never had; that's what I order. I've had the good fortune to travel the world and found that one culture's pets are another cultures sustenance.

I'd have to say it was the congealed pig blood. When I was travelling in China we went to a "fish head hot pot" restaurant. You basically cook at your own table. It starts with broth placed into a basin set into the middle of the table (which is heated). To that they add large fish heads. Then you select other items off the menu. The various varieties of fungus were all tasty, as were the fish heads themselves. (Though I wasn't quite brave enough to try the eyes.) But I did not like the cubes of congealed blood.

I think you won. Bloated frog soup. Oh my.....

Frogs legs, escargot, foie gras, ox, and lamprodotto (cow stomach). And they were all delicious. My semester abroad in Italy was basically a culinary tour of Europe. Oh, how I miss it...

Nothing I would call strange but I've eaten snake. It was pretty good.

I will order anything on a menu that I haven't had before, with a few minor exceptions.

Alligator
Octopus
Frog legs - home caught for breakfast
Caribou
Moose

I'm with you. I'm not super well traveled or anything, but I do enjoy fine dining and always wanna try something new. Also, I'm from the south, and we eat random stuff sometimes. If you can fry it, we'll eat it. I've tried snake, elk, bison, rabbit, and frog legs as well.

ah forgot the snake, pig & ox blood, tripe,cow intestines, fish head & eyes & varous other local delicaies but then we don't actually consider any of that weird just usual ingredients in noodle soup & roadside food.

Some burmese workers near our old house on koh samui stole my puppy & had her in a cage ready for the soup pot. thankfully i found her in time to save her from becoming dinner but had to deal with 7 very pissed off burmese guys, hongaray after a hard days construction work.

Sea Turlte is another one, didn't actually like that though as they are endangered but we were guests of a local bigwig so didn't really have any say in it.

Reading some of these is making my skin feel all creepy-crawly. Eugh!

Does accidental ingestion count? If so, mine would be various insects- gnats, mosquitoes, and nearly a moth once.
