Whats the weirderst thing youve eaten?

[growler2058]

Was just reading about belz eating frogs legs n snails, and i thought strewth thats a bit harsh, then remembered some of the weird things ive consumed. The weirderst was probably squirrel soup in Thailand with a local fella. I asked him if it was rat or squirrel he says one with fluffy tail, look see the head that squirrel. I dunno but i ate it anyway, then we ate fish faces hahahahaha yummo

[growler2058]

I also ate mud crab brain with gravy in Malaysia, the waiter told me it was a delicacy he was probably takin the pi55 but i ate it anyway :-)

[Bigrig]

I've eaten (an forgive the spelling):

Witchity grubs
Frogs Legs
Brains of various types (faggots in England was pretty good - brains in intestine lining, like a 'sausage meatball' thingy)
Black pudding (pigs blood and fat)
Snails
Lime ants (in North Queensland - well, you don't actually eat them as such, if you lick their back it tastes like lime - used in bush cooking though)
Tripe (yummy - sheep intestine/stomach)
Haggis (variation of tripe above - in Scotland - stuffed with herbs and other assorted goodies!)
Love cooked prawn heads
Eyeballs (sheep, lamb and fish I think!! lol - the sheep ones were a bet I did in Ireland)
Pickled eggs (not a fan of anything pickled!)

Hmmmmm ...

That's about it for somewhat weird food ...

[Silver]

live pippy. A bit gritty. yeah, yeah, out of the shell.

[AB]

ciggy butts from can ash trays...LMAO

[Airstrike]

1997 Hong Kong 4 legged Domestic pet. (we didnt know)

Also when we were told what it was after 3 or 4 bites I stopped.

[MudRunnerTD]

Beetle Nut, mustard seed in crushed coral ( limel ) that stuff will rot your mouth. Rough. Will get ya smashed though ;)

[patch697]

Oysters picked live off the mangroves, cracked open with a screwdriver and straight into the gob. Anyone who says there's a more disgusting food is just plain wrong! My throat contracted and refused to let me swallow!


Your kidding me????............ Man I woulda loved to have been there......Oysters that fresh...... Yuuuuuuuuuumy

[Silver]

That was 15 years ago now and only this year I ate my first raw oyster since then. Had to have lemon juice on it though and yeah OK it wasn't bad! But they're still slimy blobs of sea goop!

I'm with you - I chew them, and I enjoy the first two, but after 2, that funny 'off' taste materialises - for all I know it is entirely in my head. But I stop then because Loverly Wife loves 'em.

[macca86]

big rig what you call wired I call table fare! I love my haggis and black pudding. Go to chumly warners good feed on a thursday night. I've been to a few dodgy asian stores so probably had cat and dog haha. Had freeze dried crickets from america they eat them like chips. looking forward to our honey moon in thailand in june I'll up date this thread then haha

[Silver]

I read years ago a quote that said 'It was a brave man who first ate frogs' legs.' I doubt it. He was probably just hungry.

People who are now in the 50s and 60s who are children of European migrants have pointed to a lot of our 'weeds' and explained how important those plants were as food to their parents. I suppose that's how the plants arrived here.

As our 'civilisation' has progressed, we eat from an ever more narrow menu of foods.

[Punderhead]

Rat Meat is surprisingly good - my favourite in fact.

Followed closely by dog meat, just something different about it.

Witchety grubs can taste great or like dirt, depending on who cooks them and how.

Cheers!

[growler2058]

Oh yeah on my weird list is bloody brussel sprouts (cabbage patch kid embryos) Yukko bloody vulgar lil things hahahahahaha

You must of eaten an old Stag in Rut!!!!!! Venison is great. My better half loves black pudding also!!

[Silver]

anyone who has eaten snags has either eaten natural or plastic sausage casings.

Natural sounds better, right? Made from intestines. Treated intestines, but intestines nevertheless :-)

[Maxhead]

[growler2058]

Hahahaha my missus got crook as a dog in china


Tap, Tap.......Who's there?

[Tank]

Possum (They are a pest over here) is real good, bone out the rear legs and sadles, then cut them into bite size bits and then onto the hot plate for a short spell just amazing.
Also when I was in the army I had to complete a surival course so had hedgehog cooked in clay in a fire and rat both pof which are surprisinly good

[threedogs]

my third. thats why we have bag limits, think it's so people aren't greedy and take too many of one species at a time. Normally I catch and release but this weekend was special so we bagged out went to the pub.


Back to the topic eh

[Finly Owner]

Geez I remember hen Sweet bread, Brains, Shanks were normal cheap delicouscy snacks whn I was younger, Mushrooms fresh from cow paddocks under the dung. Remember eating fresh hunted rabbits baked in Auntys'oven. And how about Mutton that used to be available at the butcher. Sago for pudding.

Have eaten eel, rock cod, catfish from localish waters. Have had Camel, and Roo. Used to have Pet Ducks and loved their fresh eggs for dinner.

Have eaten watercress from a creek near Wolfedene years ago and have had Pouha(I think that's how it's spelt).

And worst of all Liver baked in water only, no sauce spice etc.

Good competition but he has an unfair advantage, Chinese wife and currently over there for 4 months.

[frenzy]

A couple of recent trips to Japan and China have seen my list of random foods grow a bit...

Goat curry - Malaysia and East Timor (we ate the camp goat)
Wild boar - Bangkok
Snake - Vietnam
Fried crickets - Bangkok
River eel (raw, fried and boiled) - Japan
Silk worms or cicadas (not sure - lost in translation) - China
http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee518/fieldfrenzy/cicadas.jpg
Chicken liver soup - China
Takoyaki (octopus in flour ball) - Tokyo
Sizzling cow intestines - Tokyo
Skewered beef stomach - Tokyo
Sea urchin - Tokyo
Abalone - Tokyo
Salmon eggs - Tokyo
Moray eel - Tokyo
Some kind of seaweed - Tokyo

Most of it, I'd eat again. Wasn't too fussed on the Takoyaki even though I like squid/octopus.

[frenzy]

Quokka......

Haha I've eaten Quail, didn't even think of that. Another one ticked off.

[threedogs]

Great bucket list with the A to Z theme

[jack]

Yeah, we have some rules.
Like venison covers all species of deer, beef covers all catle etc. Fish also covers all species, but not squid, cray etc. Once you start thinking about it there are a lot you can tick off. I've got him on U at the moment, I went out and collected some sea urchins for that.

[threedogs]

Chevon (goat meat) was pretty normal for us, we raised our own. Not keen on chops - to chewy, but roast joints were good. Don't eat red meat any more though.

Have eaten turtle a couple of times. Once in Vanuatu & again in the Kimberley. Similar to beef.

Wild honey dug out from paperbark trees (complete with bits of wood in it) - yum. In the Kimberley.

Drank Kava in the jungles of Vanuatu, pre-chewed in the traditional way by pre-pubescent boy's from the tribe. Over did it and was sick or 48 hours - both ends!

[TPC]

I ate live shrimp while up the Murray in January, only did it to freak out a mates daughter but went back for seconds when I realized how tasty raw shrimp are.

[mudnut]

Fresh octopus chunks. Yum. European carp is beautiful boiled with a gumleaf, then thrown on a barbie straight after a big fat yellow belly (Callop) has been cooked. It takes on the taste of the yellow belly.

Last summer I was at the rubbish tip and swallowed a fly.

Camel, crocodile, ostrich, wilder-beast and kangaroo and probably the weirdest thing I missed out on was armadillo in Malaysia.
