Subject: What's are some of the weirdest things you've eaten?

Written By: Badfinger-fan on 01/27/06 at 10:13 am

I'm just curious to see what people have tried. I remember Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom where they sit down to a meal of chilled monkey brains, eyeball soup, etc.... pretty gnarly stuff. mine's nowhere near that. I've had:
Sauteed sea cucumber in a chinese restaurant
Ducks feet , another chinese delicacy. My wife is chinese and early in our marriage her parents had us over and served this with all the other goodies. I truly showed my bravery by eating a couple. they looked like an alien  with the webbing and all. very bizzarre

Raw sea urchins ... they were one of the varieties of sushi offered at a party given by a Japanese scientist.

OK, I never ate anything gross like that, at least nothing that I can recall right off the bat. But as far as "weird" food goes, this one time, when I was in the Army over in Germany, a few of my friends and I had to spend the night at an RAF (or it might have been a British Army) base. The next morning we went to the mess hall to get some breakfast, and the cook brought us these dumplings that were full of spaghetti and peas. We were all like, "What the hell is this?!?" It wasn't too bad, but it was definitely weird.

To our UK members: Have you ever heard of such a concoction? Or do you think the cook was just messing with us? I know you Brits have a pretty wicked sense of humor and all... ::)

Bison burger


Bison burger is my favorite burger at The Tilton Diner in Tilton, New Hampshire.  I've ordered it many times --- it's delish !!  Bison meat is lean and tasty, much better than beef.

I pretty much steer clear of the weird stuff...

But I've tried some strange flavors of soda.  There was a chocolate flavored one that came out briefly in the 80's.. it was nasty.  And there's a green apple flavored soda that is still sold today... that one wasn't too bad, but it's not exactly my thing. :)

Actually, it was just boredom.  The bingo was actually being held to raise money for my high school band, of which I am a part.  So I was back in the kitchen of the firehall with a few other band members when I just said, "Here, throw some stuff in this cup and I'll drink it."  BAD DECISION.  This year, I think I'll bring a book to curb the boredom.  ;D

A guy I know is a hunter/wild game cook.  One day I was at his house and he said "try this"  it was
good, then he told me what it was.  I felt kinda bad, I like turtles.  He had caught it,  killed it, cooked it up.

I wonder if you would have eaten it if he told you first. I would try it, and I've done my fair share of hunting game, but not anymore. I'll just go to the store.  :)

He doesn't do much of it anymore either.  This was all of 25 years ago, and I probably would have passed on the turtle, but it was tasty.

Well, maybe I'm the first on here to say I've had Ostrich meat. I tried some in the back of a South African furniture store. It looked nice and well done and didn't smell all that bad, so my boyfriend dared me and I thought, "Heck, can't be any worse than some bad cow meat - at the very least!"

Well, it was pretty darn good, I say. I also have eaten ants by accident. Very peppery tasting.

That's as exotic as I've gone so far...

I recommend it - like the owners of the store said, it's like a blend between red meat and chicken. It's unique, though.

Oh, my best friend and I were playing outside and we dropped something edible on the ground and thought it was okay, but then when we put it in our mouths, we realised we had dropped it in a bunch of ants and we had this peppery flavor in our mouths. Wow, the looks on our faces - lol  ;D

I lived in Japan for two years.  I have eaten some weird stuff.

I have had public school lunch featuring crickets in miso sauce.

I have seen little silver fish swimming around a big bowl on a countertop; the cook reaches in, grabs a handful and slaps them on a grill and serves them u p with sugar and ginger.

I have seen comorants dive into water to get fish- a man chokes the bird, takes the fish and cooks it live and serves it up.

In Hong Kong I had chicken claws in chili sauce

I have had goat's brains.  Made by Sri Lankan guys in Japan. 

I loved all of these foods.  This is why I htink I can do food stunts on Fear Factor.

Thanks for the WOWs, but if you're hungry and in Rome, eat what the Romans eat. I"m sure you're right about the swim, walk, fly theory...it's interesting stuff!

Like it used to say at the bottom of my posts in my signature, "Ihave done a lot of thing sI'm not proud of; and the things I am proud of are disgusting."

My friend went as a zombie for Halloween; the  best part of the costume was the live maggots that were attached to his skin with spirit gum...the wriggling got him first prize in the contest.
There was no prize for eating them off his face, which I did.  The best was my husband's comment, "Honey, don't eat those, they have glue on them!"

Well, I love Red Pepper(Cayenne), and it heats my stomach up when I eat an obscene amount of it in my food.

Probably the weirdest thing I've ate is a combo of ice cream and cinnamon Life cereal.

Because its good. I always use apple jelly..

If theres one thing I've learned in my various gastronomic explorations its that never have too many pre-conceived notions about food. You never know what combos have a good flavor together. Like in Arab cooking its not uncommon to use cinnamon for meats and such. We find this odd because we use it on sweets, not meat. But they would find using it for desserts equally odd. I'm always willing to try something new.

Now that sounds good, especially the fried catfish, and peanut sauce is used in many countres, my 1st exoerience was malaysian food, with skewered beef and chicken and it was very good.
As for you sardine and PB&J sandwich, my friend, you can have my portion.  I do like sardines dipped in mustard and some may think that weird

Avoid eating weird things. Like when my sister ordered chocolate covered ants & grasshoppers. (gag me with a spoon) (she also ate Dog biscuits) Have tried other gag me foods such as Blood Soup, wild rabbit, squirrel, pheasant, eels, groundhog...

Bear & Racoon were actually not too bad. Now that I know what they are, will never try Chittlin's, even tho' sausage is stuffed using intestine liners, so why would chittlin's gross me out.

Candied rose, violets are another weird thing I ate. Sushi & raw clams are pretty weird too.

Haven't been to NYC in a while, but think this would still be considered weird on the East Coast, Hawaiin Pizza, pineapples & tomato sauce? Ugh. Till I tried it...great! (has ham too)

People consider me weird that I put ketchup on mashed potato's (but don't blink an eye when it's used on French Fries), and Peanut Butter/applesauce sandwiches.

I love Hawiian pizza...
My favorite sandwiches are (since childhood) balogna and ketchup, butter and mustard on rye, and peanut butter with onions.
I like ketchup on tunafish, too.
I don't really use it on anything else.  I like pickled herring with cream cheese on toast.
