    Sheep head, ram testicles and rotten shark. Traditional Icelandic food is WEIRD :)

    Freshwater eel (yum!) and horse meat (I was tricked into the horse meat, it is kinda sweet)
  • Being a Fat Head low-carber for just a few months now, I'm still not quite used to eating 5 eggs for breakfast.

    Tossup between monkey, pig testicles or a balut.

    Spam? (Kidding.)

    I've had alligator in Biloxi's Beau Rivage Casino (does it still exist?)--didn't taste like much of anything.

    Love squid/octopus/shellfish. Though I won't go near scallops for a long time--worst food poisoning I've had so far.

    As a matter of fact, the Beau Rivage still exists. Live not too far from it. Took a beating from Katrina, but back as one of our best casinos.
    Still love their restaurants. :)

    Eating something "weird" might break my #1 rule about food: "Never eat anything that looks like it did when it was alive." Obviously, since I'm here at MFP, I have very few other rules about food. :wink:
  • To date? Maybe alligator meat.

    FYI:P It does NOT taste like chicken.

    In addition to horse, ostrich and freshwater eel, I've ALMOST eaten a piece of raw cow brain. My parents were marinating it in the fridge and when I got home hungry I looked in the fridge and saw what looked like lumpy cookie dough so I took a piece in my mouth. Thank god I spit it out right away - cookie dough is not supposed to be slimy! eek! They don't eat it all the time, but my mother likes it occasionally (eew)
  • rabbit! don't remember how it tasted (I was 13 or 14), but the experience was definitely weird.

    Gator jerky (DELICIOUS, much better and softer than beef jerky.)
    Gator nuggets (I was tricked into eating them and they were GROSS)
    Roasted squirrel (Yum yum)
    Goat (pretty good, but only in curry.)
    Oxtail (damn good)
    Raw eel (really good)

    I think I may have everyone beat with the squirrel thing...

    When I was little (like 9) we would go to this restaurant that served frog legs. I absolutely loved them.
    The strangest thing I ever ate (or should I say drank) was a head cheese smoothie. It was for a fundraiser at the school I work at. I got one sip in and almost threw up. I student then offered to chug it for me. I also tried ox tail that day, which was surprisingly good.
    Or what other people might consider weird is Fried frog legs, & fried squid.


    What about you?


    I want to try a "Gator Burger"

    **this is what my mom grew up on in new orleans**
    Pickled sausage(which is good, just don't eat it all the time)
    Kool-Aid Pickles
  • Lion jerky.

    And huhu grubs and incase your wondering they do not taste like peanut butter

    I had octopus at a Tapas restaurant that was really good. Squirrel was OK, rabbit is good if done right, and frogs legs are not my thing. I've had calamari, too, but I didn't care for it, either.

    I heard one of the casinos ended up on the highway after Katrina. Glad to hear some at least are back.

    There are a couple of places that serve gator burgers in New Orleans but a gator Poboy is way better especially the one at jazz Fest. I love hogs head cheese; its sold at my local farmers market. To me the weirdest thing I've eaten is dried shrimp especially since the dry them with the peelings. It tastes sea water.

    I live in Denver, CO. Rocky Mountain oysters - they ain't seafood.

    HA! We got a pig ear for our dog yesterday and my kids wouldn't touch it because, well, it looks like a pig ear.

    I don't know what I was eating in this little town outside Prague. It was labelled "vegetarian" on the menu, but mistaken I am not, there was ham and some kind of ham gravy. This is after viewing an entire church decorated with human bones of people who died from the plague. All around weird experience.


    WTF????

    The only thing I've eaten that I wouldn't eat again is gizzards. Chewy little things...

    I was 15 yrs old on my first trip to France with my French class - We ordered cheval at the restaurant - it turned out chewey and with some gristle - When I looked it up in my French / English dictionary it was Horse meat. Poor, Mr. Ed.

    Also, in a local French restaurant, we had Sweet Breads - this is cow intestine for those so inclined to try something completely different.

    Kangaroo - it isn't that weird here in Oz and rather quite normal now - it's sooo low fat and HIGH in protein so it's a regular for me these days.

    PS we have HEAPS of wild Kangaroos here (lots of them cause farmers heaps of problems)....there's no fear they're going to become rare/extinct!
