"weirdest" thing I ever ate was:

Kangaroo meat is amazing if it's cooked right.

Another thing: My mom is from New Orleans & they eat a lot of sea food, people in NC look at me weird because I eat crawfish, mm mm Good!

Mmm, crawfish. I'm from New Orleans as well, and hate that you can't find decent boiled crawfish where I am now on the west coast.

Weirdest thing for me was probably chicken hearts at a Brazilian BBQ place. Not bad flavor, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat it again :laugh:

Oh, and baby octopus at a Korean BBQ place (apparently I'm my most adventurous during BBQ time) - chewy and delicious with the spicy dipping sauce, but I felt so bad for the poor lil baby octopus!

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.

Dunno why I've never seen those gator poboys at Jazz Fest. Next time, next time!

Sheep brain curry. I've never felt more ill in my life.


I also ate a millipede as a child, and spewed all over the bathtub.

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...

Nah! My husband will go out on a cool fall saturday morning shoot one and start the grill just for a Squirrel or a rabbit! when my daughter was young and he would have one marinating in the fridge she would say daddy has a bear in a bowl momma! it was so funny cause it was so little but to her it was a bear!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that i am responding! i have had Fried gizzards/chicken necks/liver9 i dont like liver). i have tasted manudo, pig/cow testicles (dont like either). i actually make my own hog head cheese! i like it too! brunswick stew made with a hog head! i make that from scratch also! cow /pig tongue. pig feet and tail! matter of fact i think i have had an entire pig head to toe! not to say i liked it all! crawdads are great! shark-gator-frog legs! i think i have tried everything! i have had elk steaks! ostrich eggs.

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

nah they are NUTSSSSSSSSSSS

I tried goat at an Indian wedding. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT. gag.

....I love goat. But it has to be either a neutered or young male or a female. The adult males that aren't neutered taste musky. Grilled is best. And lamb is good, too.

EDIT:

More things coming to mind that are to me just normal.. To others, surely odd.
Pickled pigs feet or pigs feet just boiled with some vinegar, salt and pepper, dipped in hot sauce.
Pickled eggs with beet juice.
Rabbit (I only had a tiny nibble, I couldn't stand the thought of really eating it).
Quail.
Beef heart (A little chewy, VERY lean).
Deer (Maybe weird by some peoples standards).
Beef tongue (Also very lean).
Chicken/turkey neck.
Fried Chicken Gizzards (I used to like them, but after ending up with some that weren't well cleaned, I no longer like the idea).
Pig tails.
Eel.

It's a wonder I didn't get heavier than I was. :huh:

Shark, BBQ'd bugs.

In Italy I had a pizza with artichoke and horse meat on it.

Chicken feet.
Pig feet/tails.
Goat, quail and rabbit (killed them myself, and butchered them)
Beef and goat heart, kidney and liver.
Roasted eel.
Whole anchovies.
Pickled quail eggs.
Scrapple (pork heart, snout, liver, + some. All cooked and mashed with cornmeal)
Beef tongue

My dad was a true red-neck, rest his soul and he was notorious for feeding us unusual fare.

I tried frog legs when I was a small child;
I had no CLUE what Rocky Mountain Oysters were until I was about 12 LOL (Google it if you don't know what Rocky Mountain "Oysters" are);
he killed rattlesnake in our front yard, skinned it and cooked it for dinner;
he made eggs w/ brains in them.

and probably the most unusual food experience was when he gave my grandma a hog head so she could cook the meat off of it and make tamales. My grandmother told me that "you can get a lot of meat off the hog head".

I was about 13 when the whole hog head incident went down, I realized then it was pointless to even argue about the contents of tamales (mainly because I LOVE tamales). I had probably eaten weirder stuff before....I just didn't know what I was eating at the time! LOL
