Thread: What's the weirdest thing you have eaten?

you guys all have me beat the wierdest thing I've ever eaten is mountain oysters...also known as calf fries or fried testicles

when I mention them to people I'm still amazed that so many people have never heard of them.

The weirdest thing I have eaten is duck heads. The tounge is the tastiest bit.

I am currently in Busan SK and have no idea what I ate last night for dinner. I pointed at a picture and she brought me food. It was some sort of fish soup with tiny whole fish in it. The sad part is that because I don't read, speak or understand Hangul and because we had dinner after a few bottles of soju, even if I wanted to find the place again I couldn't.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, Brother. It's all good, just mind the binjo ditches and for bad hangovers Bachus D is the shiz. You should be able to buy it by the case in small stores, it's like straight liquid vitamin B12, on more than one occassion it has taken me from too drunk to be out in public to stone sober in less than an hour. Really is amazing stuff.

Unless I am mistaken I see no desserts. I recently tried chocolate coated green ants. Absolutely delicious. The citric acid in the ants sting make it taste like a lemon flavoured chocolate. I would be interested to know what the fried ants mentioned earlier tasted like.

Escargot is not that weird but I have to share this story. My wife and I were in a restaurant on a Friday during Lent (no meat allowed). I wanted to order escargot but I had a dilemma. If it swims in the sea, it's fish. If it walks on land, it's meat. My question is, what is it if it crawls on the sidewalk?

While on vacation in the back country in Costa Rica I had the pleasure of consuming tepisquinti. Spelling is probably off, but the name is also, agouti. A large rodent- and by the way, one of the tastiest things I ever had. I was a little less impressed with iguana. These were the green ones from the forest, not the black ones on the shore. Legs were not so tender but the back meat was.

I would say if it is truly No meat.. and not just no red meat.. I would not eat it as it is a moving living muscle which I would consider meat. Sounds like you need to be eating vegetarian for the remainder of Lent.

Ive had groundhog, raccoon, crayfish(in pa thats nor common fair, the crayfish i mean), i love bullfrog legs, not to much id consider not normal.

As the old GI said, you have to watch that Soju intake and be extra wary of the "ditch monster".
