What Is the Strangest Unusual Food You Have Tried

[fozzie 41]

ok there's one thing i wouldn't try... elephant. thats just wroooooooooooong.

I'm curious why elephants get the exception. For me it would have to be cats and dogs

In cambodia i ate fried spiders, in Laos i tried the rat and in Vietnam I had the Bat and............wait for it........................DOG!!!!! Not good.

I know people do eat dog and I am open to trying anything local when traveling. BUT my own social conditioning would make it difficult for me to even try dog. Did you know it was dog or did that knowledge come later?

I actually went looking for somewhere that would serve dog. Its not all that common even in Vietnam. I had eaten a lot of nasty things and was sort of on a roll. I thought "Whats the nastiest thing i could eat right now" andd i decided it was dog. Hhey, you only do it once!!!!!!!!

The sign at the restaurant had a picture of dog on it!! And a cat!!!

PS. I have since decided that a sphincter, of any sort, is the nastiest thing one could eat.

Dogs in Cambodia aren't regularly taken care of by Vets. Heck, I don't know if there is even Vets down there. I wouldn't suggest eating dogs there though. The dogs have skin diseases, lice, etc... DIRTY!

During the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia, the workers used to eat dogs.

Snails (escargo) it's consider a delicacy, but there wasn't nothing fancy about it, just rubbery feel almost like you are chewing a small piece of pomebello mushroom.

Coudraix de Monceaux Essognes.

From the Phillipines I had this Fried Blood (forgot the name)

Goat Brain

Intestin

fried blood. You must be referring to dinuguan? it is color black when cooked already...

This should have been entitled "The Thread Not To Read While Eating Lunch" or I should have been more intelligent in my choice of reading material. lol

The wildest thing I ate was goat.

Balut -- But I only tasted the egg white and yellow yolk part. No way I'm eating a duck embryo. The white part is much more 'rubbery' than a chicken egg but the yolk piece tasted about the same.
