The strangest food that you actually ENJOYED

[stinkyattic]

We've probably all tried some STRANGE food, but it's not always pleasant.
Have you found one you thought you'd hate, but didn't?

I'll go first...

Dark chocolate chipotle frozen yoghurt. Holy shit, that stuff is delicious!!! Chocolate and chilies are a great combination, but I'd only ever had it in mole... this was FANTASTIC.

Those little fried baitfish served at Korean restaurants come in second. They are surprisingly palatable, but I'm not going to run out and buy a packet.

[napolitana869]

Are you talking about those fish with huge eyes? When I lived in Okinawa everyone loved them and I thought they were really gross looking.

[stinkyattic]

I don't know if it's the same, but they are like 2 inches long, silver, thin, and heavily salted.

[napolitana869]

I think you would know if we were talking about the same thing. The ones I'm talking about are around the same size and color but they have huge black eyes. They sell them in bags like chips in Japan. Maybe elsewhere in Asia as well

[stinkyattic]

Okay, probably not the same, these have silver eyes.
Have you seen a bagged-fish product called "FishSnax"? I think it's Japanese in origin... good for bait, but not for eating!

[napolitana869]

no, but I can imagine any bagged fish product from japan wouldnt be very good by western tastes. They have all types of crazy snack foods there. Being a picky eater I was too scared to try a lot of them. They have some really good candy though.

alegator ... i was told it was pop corn chicken, and I really liked it.
I was mad I found out that it wasn't because I had been in florida and I went on a airboat ride where I had just seen a ton.

[indicagrower]

these really aren't strange foods imo i think maybe in the corners of the world where tribes eat big ass spiders and rats and huge beatles..
cannibles(sp?) eating people...for me the strangest thing i ate was blood pudding..(made from pig blood) quite good actually...needless to say i'll eat just about anything so you DO NOT want to be stranded somewhere with me

[stinkyattic]

needless to say i'll eat just about anything so you DO NOT want to be stranded somewhere with me
Actually you are the kind of person I DO want to get stranded with... "what is this fruit?" "I dunno, you try it" "no, you try it first" "okay!" lol

[Eazy]

[crunksquirrel]

the three most strangest foods i've actually enjoyed would have to be calamari(sp?) or squid
and i like sardines alright
and aligator really does taste somewhat to chicken when i tried it, it was good

[birdgirl73]

Fried grasshoppers in Cuernavaca, Mexico. They were actually lemony and crisp and good!

[rainbows.rsexy]

squid


snails

[ryanses]

calamari, never thought i would have liked squid, but it was pretty good.. nothing i would go out and get tho:thumbsup:

[cannabis campbell]

Ostritch burgers, i thought they would be disgusting but they were ok.

I've also tried piegon, looks like crap but tastes ok, tastes a bit like chicken.

[ghosty]

calamari and escargot

[420MissHighTimes420]

[zane929]

I used to love chicken feet when I was a kid in China. I still enjoy them occasionally now but I realized that they don't really have much to offer..just skin and tasty sauce.

[friendowl]

cow brains---sesos

[stinkyattic]

I used to love chicken feet.... but I realized that they don't really have much to offer..just skin and tasty sauce.
Keep enjoying them, because from everything that I have read and heard, chicken feet soup is incredibly nutritious. I forgot to add that to my list; I once worked at a Chinese restaurant and that was what they made us to drink with our dinner- I don't think my hair has ever looked so healthy as it did then, and my nails were like steel.

[Nation_1ne]

head cheese.

What...the...hell?! Are you reffering to smeg? :eek:

[slipknotpsycho]

lol i haven't ate alot of weird things...

i guess the most uncommon thing i've ate would be alligator... i loved it too...

[JD1stTimer]

Head cheese is made by taking all the little bits of meat off a pig's head and cooking it in a mold. It all sticks together and keeps the shape of the mold and it's sliceable.

[onequestion]

What...the...hell?! Are you reffering to smeg? :eek:

LOloLoLLOLOLooolololo!!!!!

[onequestion]

I enjoyed human. Very tender, wouldnt go out to buy it though.

i just threw up a little

oh for real? i just thought the feet were eaten so as not to be wasteful, didn't know they had nutritional value. i'll keep that in mind.

[Matt the Funk]

Rabbit.....I thought my mom was crazy when she said my grandma had made rabbit for lunch....

[jaGerbom]

calamari is sooooo good. and rattlesnake is pretty good too.

[dragonbud]

these really aren't strange foods imo i think maybe in the corners of the world where tribes eat big ass spiders and rats and huge beatles..
cannibles(sp?) eating people...for me the strangest thing i ate was blood pudding..(made from pig blood) quite good actually...needless to say i'll eat just about anything so you DO NOT want to be stranded somewhere with me
over here as they say we call it black pudding and i think it comes from bury in england,its delicious with bacon and mushrooms in a crusty bagette and not forgetting hp sauce ,can you get that stuff ?its really worth a try.

[Mississippi Steve]

I think the strangest thing I have ever eaten was Fruit Bat stew.... it was really good. I had some turtle gumbo too.... that was incredible.... almost as good as sex, only cleaner :D

[slipknotpsycho]

alot of these things aren't strange... they're just uncommon.... like rabbit, bat, snake, aligator, turtle etc... it's all just meat from an animal... it's just not one of the more common animals people eat such as lamb, cow, pig etc...


now the headcheese thing and blood pudding, and bugs... those are kinda strange... i dunno if you see where i'm going with what imean or not... but most of these are just muscle tissue from animals not commonly eaten... so it's not really strange... just uncommmon o.0

[tokinsplinter]

rattlesnake for me. was pretty juicy but way tooooo many bones. was a bitch to get any meat from.

[birdgirl73]

Yeah, I don't see any value whatsoever in eating snake meat. Far too many bones. I've tried that, too, but it wasn't nearly as strange to me as a handful of salted, fried grasshoppers.

[REEFERDREAMZ]

Smoked oysters I like.

[cannabis campbell]

Hmm i wonder what aligator would taste like..

[Jim M]

at a restaraunt in Latvia my friend ordered Reindeer Soup... :question:
He said it was lovely.... disgustin, Ive been a veggie for 5 years

[slipknotpsycho]

Hmm i wonder what aligator would taste like..

it's actually pretty good.... it's got a tougher texture then chicken, but the flavor is pretty much the same.. (lol it's actually one of the only things that really does taste like chicken) but yeah, it's got more of a steak texture, and the taste of chicken... more juicy and flavorful then chicken tho...

[slipknotpsycho]

ok here's the real question....

if you ever had the chance to taste a bald eagle... would you? o.0

[carmzilla]

snails. calamari. eel.

[NothingMoreThenTruth]

I had rattlesnake before (I live in Arizona) and it was actually really good, expensive though.

[AsianStoner420]

In the philiphines theyre killing dogs for "pulutan"(term used for a dish served together with alcoholic drinks) and the first time i thought it was gross but when i tried it, it kinda taste good tho,...

[onequestion]

I love calamari but i wouldnt consider it a strange food. Its everywhere.

[weedmaster]

my wifes cooking lol:eat:

[LuckyG]

ok here's the real question....

if you ever had the chance to taste a bald eagle... would you? o.0

It would taste like freedom.

[GoldenGoblin]

was in Puerto Rico and being drunk I asked for something regional from a friend of mine.
Mofungo (could be spelled wrong)
lots of garlic, plantains, vegetables and the piece de resistance
baby octopus' all over it

I liked it so much that I had it about 5 more times.
chewy little buggers

[4twentE]

hmmm, probably frogs legs, kangaroo tail, alligator, cows heart....lotsa stuff.

How 'bout those fetuses you were talking bout the other day? mmmm ;)

Mine would probably be escargot and raw oysters.

[BizzleLuvin]

looks like calamari is popular.
i ate a lot of it in spain, where i also ate shark filet or 'tiburon'. it was like a very mild tuna steak, slightly buttery with a chicken-like consisteny. i really really liked it. i remember walkign to school while in Sanlucar de Barrameda and strolling by a market every day. we would peek in occasionaly to see them gutting fresh 6 foot sharks on the tile floor. it was quite a sight and i felt bad for eating shark later on but it was so delicious and i figured it would be hard to find back in the states. i recommend it if you get the chance.
