    A live octopus only 10-15 seconds after we fished it out of the sea.

    (while I was living for a year and half in Korea)

    Weirdest thing, probably bear, caterpillar, or ant. The bear and ant were intentional but the caterpillar was an extra on my kale.

    I LOVE cow tongue, it's probably my favorite protein. We had intestines at a Chinese restaurant, I hated it, but not sure if that was because of the intestines or because of the insane amount of cloves in the dish that annihilated my mouth. I also had chicken hearts at a Brazilian bbq place-they were tough.

    generally, my husband and I are pretty adventurous eaters.

    On purpose? Pig brains. Which just kind of tasted like really greasy, pork flavored stuffing. Then the thought, "There is brain in my mouth" made it really hard to swallow.

    Accidentally? Many years ago, I made a packet of Swiss Miss hot chocolate, and when I finished, I saw there were - those aren't marshmallows! - maggots or some other form of larva at the bottom of my mug. Took a long-*kitten* time before I could drink hot chocolate again.

    jellyfish - it was dried. We thought we were eating some type of noodle. Ate it at a Chinese restaurant in Okinawa Japan (a friend from Hong Kong owned the place)

    I like cups of pickle juice with crushed up potato chips in it. I also like mustard and dorito sandwiches.


    Doritos and mustard used to be my go to stoner food back in the day.:smokin: I still drink pickle juice just without the floaties. :drinker:

    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!

    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.

    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.
