Most Unusual Foods You've Eaten

[SUA SPONTE]

Deep Fried Scorpion (on a stick) – while slightly inebriated on a street in Thailand. Tasted kinda like a rotten pork rind.
Snake wine (Cobra) – at a nameless bar in SE Asia. Taste: terrible Reaction: scary
Vampire Bat (Fire Roasted) – while conducting Survival training in Panama. Tasted pretty good

Triggerfish. And perhaps the reason it's unusual is the amount of work needed to get through the skin. They should make body armor from that stuff.

We had snake handlers bring a cobra out of a concrete box, play with it in front of us and then chop it's head off. The blood was drained into a metal pitcher mixed with some sort of hard alcohol. shots were poured all around as we toasted to the vitality of which the cobra blood would bring. ...i think in the future i'll stick to jack and coke.

Armadillo, fried ants, various grubs, various snake meats, fried grashoopers and crickets, oppossum, raccoon, and some kind of chicken looking bird I shot from a tree in the Kimechee Forest in S.E. Oklahoma. All washed down with copious amounts of water or beer.

I agree 100%.....

Gentelman Jack and Coke is my drink too. It has caused me some rough mornings once or twice but I never thought I was gonna die unlike that Corba stuff.

Doubt this qualifies, but the closest I've come to anything exotic is raw chicken liver. (It wasn't nice...especially fresh off the eviscerating table. Good thing we have our own operation.)

Gator, many different types of turtle, turtle eggs, tried most everything in a sushi bar at least once, snakes of various types but rattlesnake is a fave. Have had tripe, not a fan. Tongue isn't bad.

I love that blood sausage is a unusual food! It was a staple for me as a kid.

Fried insects, Dogfish (half cooked of course.), Reindeer.

I had a typical redneck/farm upbringing so I learned to eat anything that didn't eat me first! So I have had every kind of thing that can be made from all the common domesticated animals i.e. cows, hogs, sheep, goats, chickens, and ducks. So you have your tongue ,heart, scrapple, head cheese, and all the sausages my german forebearers passed down through the ages. Plus coon, possum, deer, fish, turtle, snake, squirrel (love squirrel brains with fried eggs). Then when I left home I branched out into insects and insect larvae, sushi of all kinds. I will pretty much try anything I see somebody else eat.
I still don't care to much for limburger cheese though.

[QUOTE Most disgusting was definitely Lutefisk [/QUOTE]

I have some blonde friends who eat it at Christmas at Their Granpa's house. They call it "Rudefisk"..

I've had most North American critters, deer, elk, moose, pronghorn (my favorite) frogs, rabbits, squirrel, snakes, grasshoppers, ants, gopher, gator, iguana, turtle, goat, horse, most fish available, but my favorite surprise was on the train from Nogales to Tepic. Shrimp tamales. Whole shrimp, eyes, legs, antennae and shells. Larrupin' good..
