What yer sayin', then, Boss, is don't use the insult "eat me" when in Borneo or Sarawak, huh?
I don't know about Sarawak, because I have Canadian friends living there. He's a petrophysicist with that Malaysian oiil company that owns the tallest buildings in the world in Kuala Lumpur. c.i.
Sulawesi, I believe this was the local that one of the Kennedy's got ate back in the early 70's.
hmmm . . . Irish stew . . . hmmmm . . .
With a guinness and irish whiskey chaser!
"tastes like chicken" will be replaced by "tastes like children".
Gees, looks like Heeven just had a Kennedy! thigh or forearm?
Since we've happily skipped on to cannibalism, I guess my prairie, or mountain , oysters may be too tame to be of interest. But for those of you who asked, and for eoe in particular, let me be absolutely clear that I am talking about testicles and not raw egg. As I said in my post, the kind I can get most readily are from sheep. My butcher will slice and peel them for me if I ask, but it is so easy to do that I generally take them home whole and prepare them myself.
Once peeled, sliced and washed, I usually just bread them (flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs) and fry them. Sometimes I make smaller slices, fry them, then place them on slices of bread, maybe topped with cheese, or on a bed of tomato sauce. A few seconds under the broiler and you have crostini that everyone loves but that leaves people puzzled.
The breaded, fried medallions are great with just a squeeze of lemon, or on a bed of mixed greens and vinaigrette.
Ummmmmm, sounds absolutely disgusting to me. Actually, I've find rocky mountain oysters very appetizing, but don't care for the preparation directions!
Anybody getting squeamish yet?
LOL c.i.
Lived alot of my life overseas. Ate all kinds of weird things. Lived through it all though.
I ate a a steaming bowl of lambs intestines in Hong Kong washed down with a chilled Spanish beer.
I find that tripe si strange enough, and they love it here in Swabia... yuk! I tried once, 'coz when in Rome...
yea, Margo, they suckered ya into having one of the surstromming... probably the worst food in Scandinavia, never had it myself, though! You don't have to do like the roman, if you're a roman yerself, right?
Watching the episode of Survivor where the family members had to eat disgusting things in order to spend the day with their loved one, I thought I would throw up at some of the items - there was a scorpion, a water roach, and a tarantula. Gross!
I wish Anthony bourdain was an a2k-member, he would have a few "goodies" for you... just finished reading his book "A cook's tour... ". Yup, he tried some stuff I wouldn't even touch with a computer-programmed ten-fot pole!
I've tried lots of the stuff mentioned here: chocolate covered bees, alligator, dog (once, unwarned), and durian.
By the way, in Singapore, durian is readily available but is banned on the subways! Big signs at every station. It's got a terrible stench.
I try to eat raw oysters about once a decade, but just can't get them down happily...More for the rest of you, I guess.
I would gladly eat your oysters mac.Chilled,with a bottle of good bubbly.Ummm umm.
macsm, Raw oysters is the food of royalty! I love them, but have stayed away from eating them, because of all the warnings.
pueo, The question isn't whether you lived through eating all that stuff: Did you like any of it?
To all: I think I'll stay away from eating dog.
