Can't find coagulated pigs blood soup on list!

I work at a public school in South Korea where eating like a Korean is important and respected (not to mention delicious!). At this point though I think that the Principal and Vice Principal are putting me through a series of food tests to confirm their belief that Americans/foreigners cannot eat all Korean food.

Yesterday I ate coagulated pigs blood soup...they were impressed.....I think the next teachers dinner will be live octopus.

Might have to draw the line there. :happy:

What are some strange foods you have tried?

Wow ur brave bcuz i would not have eaten either one of those. I have eaten squid in its own ink over white rice. It's a food from Spain but the ink sauce is black and to some not very appetizing but its sooooo yummy. My grandmother also made brains but i dont know if it was from a goat, cow or pig. I tried it but spit it out. She breaded pieces of this brain and fried it, nasty!!! That had to be the most disgusting thing i have ever eaten!!!

I've had cuy (guinea pig) in Peru. Hated it, the skin was too rubbery and he was served to me....whole. With the head and little feet and everything. We're going back in a few months and I'm hoping to try piranha and *maybe* a grub, only if it's grilled with a little seasoning. Also tried the black pudding (blood sausage) in Ireland and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I'd definitely eat it again. Had moose but wasn't a fan, maybe it was just my stepmom's recipe though? I don't recall her being a good cook
