Weirdest food

What is the strangest thing you have eaten in your life. I am a foodie and will try almost anything. I have had rattlesnake. I like chicken feet, and head cheese.

In the Philippines mountains I had monkey, deep fried pieces on sticks similar to the pork sticks they sell in the city. I knew it really was because they had some future meals hanging.

I was gonna say my favorite, pineapple and onion pizza.

Reading the responses… y’all are gross. Lol.

I don't eat much meat at all but for 20 years I was a strict vegetarian. I heard dandelions were healthy to eat. Since I did not use pesticides in my yard, I pulled all the dandelions in my yard and with a food processor, some tofu, garlic, breadcrumbs and seasonings made dandelion burgers. They were actually pretty tasty.

Tarantula tacos.-Mexico City

2

Squid chips and fish cheese. BTW...if you're ever in Japan or Okinawa, don't get anything out of a vending machine. 🙂

squid is awesome ....had squid kebab in Portugal....

Frogs legs is the weirdest thing I was willing to have eaten. They kind of taste like salty chicken.

Frog legs are the bomb. Real frog legs can't be beat...and seeing them jump in the frying pan is kewl. BTW...I'm from Tennessee...so frog legs, squirrel, deer, and anything else running through the back yard or in the pond is open game!

@jondspen Yeah, I actually like them. I don't care much for watching them in the frying pan though lol

I've had deer before, but not squirrel.

The tripe wasn't bad until my mother told me what it was.

Under pressure to taste it, I took a tiny bite of Lutefisk at a Norwegian festival in Seattle.

Promptly spit it out. Hearty laughter.

HAH! I was in a similar situation at a "bring something which represents your ethnicity" pot luck. That stuff was HORRIBLE! I pretended a coughing attack and quietly left!

2

Snails, some kind of worm and lamb and bull fries, oh and brains.

2

Jellyfish.

My daughter ate that in Thailand. I asked how can you pick it up?

@Beowulfsfriend It cooks up with a nice texture once you've gotten most of the water out of it.

2

fermented shark and don't try it unless you want a memory that makes you throw up a little each time you remember the flavour

@MattTeter yes i strongly advise against it i didnt even manage to swallow 1 mouthful

Is that the same "pissed-on shark" from the Kit Harrington anecdote?

@KKGator don't know had to look up who he was but yes pissed on then left to rot seems about right taste wise warm fermented piss tho

@weeman Pass.

@KKGator good plan wish i had 👍

1

Uni-sea urchin gonads. Taste like licking the inside of a very dirty fish tank

Sorry. I haven't eaten them. Just know they exist. actually a shortage of red tarantulas so the government is regulating their use. Imagine that?

1

Kangaroo sausages.

Having a hard time thinking of anything I've ever eaten that I consider strange. Many people would think boiled okra is strange. My bf shook his head night when I had rice crackers with strawberry jelly, hot sauce, and soy sauce. BTW they're not that great. ?

1

Toes and dick

1

Calf brains......YUK!
Turkey testicles......OK

1

I haven't had it, the closest restaurant serving it that I knew of closed. But I still think I might, if I run across it: guinea pig.

1

Spleen sandwiches ... sounds better In Italian, I’ve gone vegan so perhaps now it’s faux duck in a can or nooch🙂

1

Nothing really that weird. I'm a vegetarian now, but when I was growing up I ate cow brains (definitely not recommended now), cow tongue, frogs legs, the usual stuff.

1

Pigeon & lava bread - the bread was actually gravy
Dogfish - will never throw them away again!
Habanero cheese fritters - the place now offers a Carolina reaper version (no thanks)

1

Sqirrel brains
Snapping turtle
Homemade Souse
Homemade Scrapple
Snake
Poke sallet

@MattTeter i don't think of snails as weird. In my mind they're are more of a delicacy.

Scrapple - good old Pennsylvania Dutch food.

1

Definitely jellyfish!

In Haiti we loved cow tongue for sandwich meat-considered a delicacy, and scrambled cow brains for breakfast, marinated squid.
In Thailand, deep-fried grubs..delicious!

@kjsgenie Good. Most Americans act like steak is all there is to eating beef.

@MattTeter Yup, and of course the liver..smothered in onions (sigh). I don't eat beef now, but wish I could.

I haven't had the chance to try rattlesnake yet, I did have the opportunity to try escargot once, and surprisingly, it wasn't half bad. By the way, have you ever tried pico de gallo? It's a delicious Mexican salsa that adds a burst of flavor to any dish. It's made with fresh tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cilantro, lime juice, and a dash of salt. It's absolutely fantastic, especially if you're a fan of spicy and tangy flavors.

In my youth I wandered the world and got in with a bunch of gypsy's in France and found out how to cook and eat hedgehog ....not proud but it tasted of chicken...lol
