If this was a contest, I'd win hands down. I don't even remember all the weird stuff I've eaten.

Fried scorpions on a stick

Congealed water buffalo blood

Fried grub worms

Rancid fried grub worms

Goat eyeballs (at a very fancy party given by the crown prince of Saudi Arabia)

Haggis (not for the faint of heart!)

And then I see people who won't even suck the head on a boiled crayfish ... sad really.:wink:

<<< Faints.
Were those eyes looking at you as you swallowed them?

I had horse, in France, not told until after the fact..
kinda stringy and not real steaky tasting.ill


Betcha that had you trotting off to the bidet ;-)

Crayfish guts is an entree to the crayfish meat where i come from. Especially that yellow stuff that we refer to as the 'mustard'

I tried a peanut oil fried tarantula in thailand. It was not what I thought it would taste like. It wasn't bad but one was enough.

I've had pigeon soup. I didn't find out until many years later that it wasn't chicken soup. The pigeons came from a pigeon farm, so no health risks.

Tribe - definitely not my thing

Chitlins - I rather just have my brats stuffed in those

Blood Sausage - Yeah I can live without it

Fried Alligator - actually pretty good, tasted like chicken to me

Fried Calamari - Try them from a Greek Restaurant with tsatziki ~ Yummi

Korean Kimchee's - Cabbage, cucumber, turnip and spinach ( there are many different types) ~ I like them when it's freshly made.

Finally a topic I can relate to!!
Strangest Food Ever
Possum Stew - tasted like greasy pork
Armadillo Chili - tasted like Armadillo but more greasier then the possum.
Sardines and Peanut Butter Finger Sandwiches - tasted like fishy peanut butter.
Conch Fritters- Tasted like clams with a twist.
Pickled Elephant Ear - Tasted like Pickled Rubber.
Squirrel Pot Pie - Tasted Like Chicken Pot Pie.
Brains and Eggs - No Not My Brains
Pickled Pigs Feet
Pickled Cow Tongue

Looking back now I understand why I've been accused of having the gullet of buzzard.

My next door neighbor gave me a jar of pickled pig's feet recently. It used to love them as a kid.
Conch Fritters are my favorite way to eat conch but I do like conch conch chowder too.
My mother made the best squirrel and dumplings as a kid. I didn't think it tasted anything like chicken.
I've tried brains different ways but they all taste nasty to me.

When I was in Thailand, Boonya, our guide and driver, told us about the strange things they eat ... ground spiders and such! I asked him about eating an elephant and he got all upset and told me how elephants were sacred, yada yada yada. I was just teasing him but I told him that I couldn't believe the people would just let thousands of pounds of fresh meat just lay there when they could have a BBQ for the whole village!

He looked around to see if anyone was near and said, "Yeah, you're right!"
