Weird Foods, What is the weirdest food you've eaten? Options

Snakes! I went to this shop called "King Cobra" and they stock dozens of live snakes of various type for medicine and food. Me and my gf back then ordered to have their specials. A cup of the squeezed livers and blood of 3 different snakes. That's 6 snakes for the both of us. I forgot all type of the snake but one of them, as you can guess is cobra. So, we actually get to pick our snakes, but we let HER - the shop keeper to choose and she did. We watched behind the glass "showroom" standing as she picked the snake with a long grappling wood, get a big o chop knife and decapitated it's head. She then took it's STILL squirming body, hook it up, and skin it while it's still wiggling - headless - yuck! She took it's liver out, it about the size of a small peeble. Sqeeze a small amount of it's blood from it's decapitated neck on small cup along with the liver + some kind of liquer. Same goes with the rest of 5 snakes and we're then at our table looking at these cups of mixed snake blood, and I'm thinking on how she make these... lol. Well, one big gulp done it.

I've tried snake soup before that, and it tasted like chicken but IMO it's not as good as chicken.

A turtle soup. Hmm.. this is my fave, it's like a mix of chicken, fish, and squid? Expensive though. Lol, don't throw up now - Here in Asia we got lot's of weird food. There's a place I've not visit here who serve baby shark, sounds interesting but I'm not that interested.

Enough weird food from me.

ive had some "wierd foods"...

deer
elk
moose
buffalo
guinea fowl
goose
duck
sea urchin
brains of various animals (chicken being most vile)
chicken foot, various organs
pig foot, ear, tail, smoked "raw" bacon, organs, blood
goat
doves and pigeons (not ratty city pigeons)
baby octopians
dried cuttlefish (tho i loathe squid/calamari)
tatar beefsteak (raw beef)
blood of various animals, cooked and uncooked

oh and its recently come to light that rubio's chain of restaurants were selling lobster burritos that were actually hermit crab, so ive had a bite of hermit crab as well, not particularly good, btw... hahah. i would still like to try scorpion and various snake.

also, once at a sushi place inm southerna california i saw someone order what looked like a small lobster, still living with the tail deskelatonized/detatched in pieces so that he can "see you eat him" it was rather disturbing...

the one type of wierd food that i would rather die than be forced to eat is that wretched balut (duck embryo while still in egg) or the ever more filthy jungle food "1000 year eggs". oh dear ghods... that craps as vile as it gets. ***heebie-jeebie shivers***
