The strangest food you have ever eaten

seaweed - not a food adventurist.....

See my post in the "Bagels? We got bagels" thread . . . i wouldn't want to have to go through that in another thread . . .

where apprx in that multi-page thread?

Page 8, Boss, a few pages before you showed up . . .

well, then, speaking as a sort-a-vegitarian, dog is just like any other meat.

Naw, they're all different . . .

yeah, but, they're all flesh.

[Homer Simpson]Hmmmmmmmmmm . . . flesh[/Homer Simpson]

Ugh. When I was in Sudan I ate something that I think was a mix of goat and some sort of fungus in a thick fruit sauce. It ummm.. wasn't a pleasent experience. I'll bring a samich next time.

And it was gross why?

"Gross" is in the taste of the eater. c.i.

littlek, Seaweed is a very common ingredient of sushi when my wife prepares it for New Years. When I visited Canton about twelve years ago, our tour guide told us she ate dog in the winter, because it makes her feel warm. c.i.

fishin, Goat and mushroom are good together! c.i.

I know seaweed is common.... even with america's non-asian it's not all that unusual.

Kangaroo tail soup, and bear paw (believe it or not, both out of a can).

Homemade hog head cheese. Yum. Only my mothers' tho' because I knew it was prepared properly. I wouldn't dare try anyone elses.

In my line of work, I have lots of opportunity to try different things.
Each culture has its foods, that other cultures think are bizarre or even disgusting. I guess it all depends on your point of view.

Some of these dishes I've really enjoyed, like tripe, barbequed chicken hearts, blood soup, blood sausage, blood pudding, live shrimp, live lobster, baby goat (it IS good with mushrooms ), prairee oysters, calves brain, sweetbreads..

Some I didn't like,..snake and alligator I didn't really get, I mean they taste fine, just no big deal...why bother? Chicken feet,..again,..why?
Head cheese,..I have issues with texture. Bladder and kidneys,...they smell like what they do!

Anyway,..I believe that if we kill animals for food, we should use the entire thing.

Jerry, You have the right idea. Food should not be wasted. Only humans waste food. I'll try almost anything once. Chicken hearts were no big deal when we were kids. Our mother served it to us. I even ate fish eyes. c.i.

Forgot about the cow brains and scrambled eggs. Or cow tongue. Of course, pigs feet and tails. And chitterlings. When you're in the country and slaughtering your own food, you try not to throw away anything.
