After reading where this thread has detoured, I became curious as to some of the strangest or most interesting food FlyerTalkers have encountered while traveling - or even when not traveling!

I was taken by a customer to a real Chinese restaurant in the Silicon Valley area of California. I tried the chicken feet. Once is enough. Too bony for me.

I had garlic ice cream at the annual garlic festival in Gilroy, California. It was very tasty - similar to vanilla - but with a garlic after-kick. I would definitely eat that again.

I ate rattlesnake and alligator appetizers in a restaurant in Boulder, Colorado. They were interesting - not great but not disgusting either.

I had emu sausage, crocodile and kangaroo for dinner near Uluru (Ayer's Rock) in the middle of the Outback of Australia.

I had delicious black ravioli (colored with squid ink) stuffed with salmon at an Italian restaurant in Fresno, California. Excellent!

Please share your strangest or most interesting travel food experiences!
