The Chilito from Taco Bell is just a Chili-cheese burrito. Chilito is slang for "little penis" so maybe some rumor got started about it. Incidently, Taco Bell had to change the name of it for this reason. They now call it the "Chili-cheese burrito". Does anyone remember when they served the bell burgers? I miss those.

"Yo Quiero Taco bell"^

I drank some soup we made from our dirty socks once on a dare.

I saw a girl swallow a cup chewing tobacco chaw. she barely kept it down.

They were actually still in the pigeons... whole birds split in half (beak to tail), so the brains were just sitting there saying EAT ME!

It was easy (and fun) to just suck the brains right out of the head. Yum!:)

A man's weird is another's delicacy ;)

Growing up in Southeast Asia, I have eaten:

Deep fried pig colon (炸大腸)
Colon noodle-thread (大腸麵線) soup
Stir-fried cock testicles (scallions, ginger and sesame oil)
Pan fried pork brains and pork brain omelette
Deep-fried (or stewed) pig's lungs

.. and plenty more.

Yep, I've had cat too. Picked it fresh from the cage outside, in Zhongshan, China. Fresh Cat, definitely my new band name.

They asked if I wanted it in a hotpot or grilled. I wish I could've changed the response to grilled, alas, the pepper sauce they served it with did it well. Actually, I couldn't finish it, so it's probably still in the fridge beckoning my call, a year.5 later.

Had a balut experience in Manila last December, and I'd rather not turn the page back to that one.

Also, the (non-alcoholic; I don't drink) beverage I had most difficulty consuming wasn't a durian shake in Singapore. Or the mesquite plum shake in Rockville, Maryland (USA). It was cucumber juice. Cukes are brilliant, but for some reason, in liquid form, it just wasn't happening. Anybody else have this experience?

I actually think a lot of the foods on here is normal. Fresh is where it's at! :o Not sure what that says about me. :o

Chicken and waffles I think is one of the strangest things I had. I asked if the server was joking at first because I had never heard of eating them together.

I've never had balut or durian but I have had dog, cat, emu, ikangaroo, crocodile, wichetty grubs, goanna/bungarra, sea turtle, dugong, monkey and bird eating spider among a few other things.

Balut is the ONLY thing that I've been offered that I've refused to eat. I suppose I have to man up and try it one day....

Easy Victor Jul 16, 2012 1:01 pm

I didn't know what Balut was, and in doing some research came up with these to go along with your balut. Uuggghhh...

Is ikangaroo something made by Apple? :)

Piure may possibly be the weirdest thing. But I might recall weirder at another time.

Used to eat fish eyes and diniguan when I was little. I've had dog stew (보신탕) in Korea; dog adobo and snails plucked straight from the rice paddies in the Philippines.

The most memorable was in Wichita, Kansas. There was a chili cook off and everyone said I had to try to chili from pot #8. I opened the lid and I saw chili and women's underwear in it. Tasted ok and won 3rd place. :D

That chili is usually made with used underwear and is called "Undy-chili" or "Hairy-chili"
