And cow testicles. Just don't see the point to eating this. It's not good.

Barbecued raccoon Sheep fries Mountain oysters Chitterlings, Also know as chitlins Souse Possum, served w/sweet potatoes, in the Depression known as "Hoover Hog", greasy. A nasty scavenger, but easy to catch. Nutria, available occasionally in Louisiana, served with "piquant" (Sp?) sauce. Mountain oysters, lamb fries and turkey fries are a long way from unusual around here. Chitlins? There's A restaurant a couple of miles away where they have a regular place on the menu. Tripe's hardly unusual and between the accomplishment of the Spanish and the Normans, awfully good food. The Mexican standard version, "Menudo", stewed with hominy, is an every day offering in dozens of small local "family-style" Mexican resturants, and a grand cure for hangovers, "para la cruda". The original Mexican "barbacoa" is not barbecue, but a slow roasted cow's head. pulled apart like pulled pork, with the eyes in demand among purists. Souse/Head Cheese is right up there with tongue for sandwich making. |
Having served in Viet Nam and Korea, and a business trip to Turkey I know I've eaten somethings that would not have been on a utensil let alone in my digestive track if I had known before hand.

alligator, rattlesnake, raccoon, sea urchins, goat, scrapple, various animal hearts, pickled cow tongue ...

Grub and snake raw. We had patrolled past our supplies, living off the land. The VC were hunting us so we couldn't cook. Put enough wasabi on it, you can eat anything.
It helps to be hungry. I'm not a fussy eater. I like cuy, although it took some serious intervention to be rid of the intestinal hitch-hikers they favored me with. Uni is another matter. It tastes great, but the texture is of cold snot. Once that thought occurred to me, I couldn't finish. Same with Blutwurst. It is delicious, but the thought entered my head I was eating scabs. Oh well. Grasshoppers from street vendors in Bangkok are delicious. But then I found out they harvest them after they spray the fields. |
Two foods that immediately came to mind when viewing this topic title
1- Snake 2- Ostrich |
Pancakes and Chinese clam sauce by mistake.

Barbecued raccoon still tops my list of my weird food.
|
Porcupine (or, perhaps, hedgehog), what was either pangolin or civet cat, dog and cobra -- all in China (and all delicious!).
|
"Baluuuuut..."
Live goldfish. Nothing to do with impressing girls. CPO initiation...(TMOliver knows what I'm talking about...) |
Certain parts of a sushi set lunch in Tokyo. But the weirdest thing I didn't eat, which I knew enough Japanese to not order, was the basashi nigiri. Look it up. Or don't. Not looking it up might be best.

Wow!
I thought my entries would have been at least near the best responses but not even close... 1 horse/durian/snake/intestines/all the normal stuff 2 goat testicles 3 a leech fresh off the leg of a malaysian tour guide - I realized the possible implications of this afterward... I'm glad I have some things to look forward to, though! |

To paraphrase the Original Bad Bob in "Judge Roy Bean"..."Cook that horse up for me. I want it blue...smothered in onions..." |
