And you made oxtail stew?! Is your wife Jamaican?
Because (man cooking) + (oxtail) + (stew) = heavy Caribbean influence?0 -

No, but I've traveled quite a bit in the Caribbean and love Caribbean food...actually, I just really enjoy food from all over the place and routinely try my hand at various cuisines from around the world...they usually come out really good and I try to be authentic as possible...for whatever reason I struggle cooking Indian cuisine though...it never seems to come out quite right...
I love to cook and just cooking regular old recipes gets boring...1 -

Squid ink!
Yup! Squid ink pasta, and squid ink risotto. It's really not particularly anything, just salty. It's only weird because it's the only black food I think I've really eaten.
I also forgot wallaby and sweetmeats (lamb pancreas). Oh, and pigeon.
We eat 'roo often, it's kind of the Australian answer to venison, more gamey than beef, very lean and quite delicious when cooked right. I use 'roo mince in lasagne, chili, burgers etc.

Blood cake? Is that the same thing as blood pudding? Like sausage made of pork blood?
It was an actual cake made with beef blood. With nuts in it. We fried it in butter and put a little powdered sugar on it and had it for breakfast. It was delicious actually, really rich and creamy. Haven't had it in years.0 -
For I've tried sardines and a few years ago I got tricked into trying chicken heart0

Just wow. Very nice, man!0 -
Sea cucumber (quite possibly the nastiest thing I have ever put in my mouth), shark fin soup, duck tongues (all consumed at a Chinese wedding banquet). Gator, yak, kangaroo...and pretty much everything else mentioned above save for balut and blood pudding.
Even though I am generally not much of a meat eater...I will try a taste of just about any food put before me. The only exceptions would be animals typically kept as pets (including rabbit, which I know is commonly found on menus, but I can't help thinking of my neighbor's sweet french lop-eared bunny).0 -

It's only weird if you're a Yankee I guess... frog legs and alligator. Loved the alligator - tasted like chicken with the texture of shrimp. Not a fan of the frog legs I had; they had an aftertaste of swamp.0

When I was a kid i ate frogs legs,snails,rabbit,moose,head cheese,octopus,squid0

pork brains, beef brains, frog legs, grasshoppers, squirrel, rabbit, black bear and some stuff in Korea I didn't even ask...0

The weirdest thing I've ever eaten was chitlins. Didn't like them any of the three times but people kept tellin me that it was because the last time they weren't made right. At least I now know for sure that I do not like them.0

I had to Google head cheese. It was not what I expected. It's actually not at all as bad as I expected...0

My cousin and I went bullfrog hunting with bb guns and a net and brought a big one back, chopped off it's hind legs, peeled off the skin and had an adult cook em up fried chicken style (rolled in egg then seasoned flour then egg and flour again). It was actually really good tasted like chicken but flaked apart like fish0

Funny how foods are weird in one part of the world and not in another!
Blood cake = black pudding (I think) and its a traditional part of a cooked breakfast as well as a much loved alternative to fish in fish and chips where I live!
Ox Tail = Heniz soup doesn't it? Very popular brand and used to be one of my favorite 'flavours'!
Weirdest thing I've eaten: PIGEON and it wasn't all that great. Kinda gritty and very small

I tried Escargot on a cruise ship and while it was not that bad, I would never eat it again. Just the thought alone makes me shudder.
Escargot, definitely. Wouldn't do it again (even though it tasted pretty good honestly), I'm just a "I need to try everything once" sort of person.
By extension, abalone. People think of abalone as shellfish like eating scallops or oysters, but they're actually aquatic snails.
Haggis is good, but another "I just want to try it once but other than that I don't feel like surpassing all the mental barriers" food item.0 -
Ohh, I had Pho the other day. There was hexagonal stuff in it which was kind of chewy. i found out later it was lung. It wasn't half bad.0

That must be either snake soup or fermented trout.0

Ostrich ... also had elk .. I also had blood pudding in Ireland!0
-
cheese. Think about it. That shít makes no sense. It's pressed coagulated milk.0
