Not bad, actually. Supposed to be good for your health, but I feel just as bad as I always have. All the folks here mentioning durian don't know what they are talking about. The SMELL is bad, but the TASTE is just fine. Try it one more time. This time, as an experiment, hold your nose and eat some. You will discover it is actually quite tasty. You can also get durian ice cream in Oakland (CA) Chinatown -- that's how good it actually is. In my opinion, stinky tofu actually smells worse than durian. But again, it is your nose that is sabotaging you. The taste is actually not so bad. :) |

Duck feet, which you can get at any decent dim sum place. Very tasty, very rich, PITA to deal with the million little bones.

Seriously. Growing up in Asia, eating molded milk is kinda weird until I get used to it. But you can give me uni any day. :) And cow testicles. Just don't see the point to eating this. It's not good.

Elephant. I was on a hunting safari with my Father in Botswana and he shot an elephant. We had elephant jerky, it was quite salty.
I guess for me anything to be considered "exotic meat" can qualify as being weird. |

Most restaurants serving Cantonese style Dim Sum will have those "Fung Chau" (which is the chicken feet you are referring to).

BBQ Cuttlefish
Poached Anglerfish Pickled Globefish Roasted Pigeon |
I had conch this year which I think is technically snail. Not much compared to most people in this thread, but qualified as my most weird dish in 2010.

As for me I've eaten snake in Vietnam (including the heart while still beating), dog meat in China, still moving octopus at Tsukiji in Tokyo I guess haggis is pretty strange, I had a few turtle dishes in Cayman, Abalone in Asia. Weirdest experience ever was probably at the penis restaurant in Hong Kong. Whale, deer were featured on that menu but no human dishes, thankfully |
On a business trip in Miyazaki, I went to dinner with our hosts. Not wanting to offend them, I partook in the chicken sashimi. About 3 days later I got hit with the worst bout of (intestinal distress) and fever. I was hoping for death to come and take me.
A couple others (Americans and Japanese) also got sick. I always said the only place I would ever consider eating raw chicken would be in Japan, never again. The raw horse was pretty good though. |
my 2 weirdest for the list
Raw sand worms - Beihai China
Stinky Tofu - Beijing China I don't plan to try either ever again |
Gibnut......or the "Royal Rat" as it is known in Belize. Actually served to the Queen of England during her visit there. Actually a rodent, tastes a bit like rabbit, however, very gamey.
|
I've eaten most things in China over the years but I've just got back from a trip there.........
Seal Lion Lip soup...........what in god's name... tasted pretty good though nickyboy |
