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

Prairie Oysters...lets see if anyone knows what those are!

TESTICLES!!! My gf has eaten them b4. She enjoys eating lots of gross stuff (chicken hearts, cow tongue, and all sorts of things that make me gag. I love her to death, but when she's eating smelly cow tounge, i sit at the other end of the table. (Aw... i can't find the vomiting smiley.) I guess the grossest think i've eaten is probably my gf's aunts breastmilk. She tricked me into it! That scorpion woman...

I've eaten horsemeat. I ate it when I was in Europe for a summer as a teenager. It's not bad, it tastes like beef, actually.

Some of the other 'weird' stuff on here, like salmon roe, I eat on a regular basis. I love the stuff, I get it every time I go out for sushi if the place carries it. It's also really good if you've got strep, it's cold and it helps soothe your throat when you swallow it. It's good for you too. I also live in Chinatown here, so they sell this and all manner of fresh and live seafood at the Chinese grocery near my house.

We have a grocery store here in town (AJ's Fine Foods) that sells a lot of stuff like rabbit and venison in the meat case. We also have a mom-and-pop shop here in town (I forget exactly where it is, though) that sells nothing but game meat in the butcher cases. The game meat is actually farm-raised, so there's no 'gamey' taste like when you go out and hunt it yourself. Also, since the animals were raised in controlled conditions, there's no threat of heavy metal contamination from environmental toxins or the like. I really wish I could remember where that place was...

Oh yeah, I forgot. I LOVE alligator. There's a Cajun place near my house that serves up fried alligator as an appetizer and in po'boy sandwiches. Good stuff...

Greetings,

Darkmage I would call Aligator a delicacy insteada wierd food. Its yummy with butter. If U dip it like lobster.

Fenix. Whats wrong with breast milk? Just squirt some in your coffee and off U go to work. lol

Rattlesnake is really good. I guess that is the weirdest thing I have eaten since people go ewwwwww when I tell them it taste like lizard.

Also when herding cattle to fly doe them give steroids etc I had a bad experience. The cows get nervous and start to crap when U herd them into the corral. U have to make noise like whoop whoop and wave your arms or they will run over U. Or a Brahma might gore U. Also as they crap they try to swat flies with their tails. Cows dnt seem to mind taking a nice dump on their tails. So as I whoop whooped I had some $hit fly into my mouth. Guess what it tasted like. $hit. I spit it out so maybe that dnt count but now when I say something taste like $hit I have something to compare it to.

Any animal product I've ate in Germany and Canada (or European countries) has been far tastier than American products, steroids and vitamins screw up the taste here.

Well atleast that's the case for milk, eggs, cattle, etc.

When I was a lot younger, like 10-ish I would eat bugs on a dare, provided I could get something out of it. But I remember chewing up a grasshopper once and a cricket another time and fire ants too. They didn't really taste bad just strange and had a strange texture. There's this biker bar out of my town that has Rocky Mountain Oysters (bull balls if you don't know). They don't taste bad at all, at least not fried. Thats probably the strangest thing I've eaten, next to bugs. And cray fish. That was gross. Maybe it just wasn't cooked very well.

Oh yeah and I also ate the worm out of a bottle of tequila

Well one thing I eat which is considered "weird", or taboo in today's society are black beetles. You take the wings and legs off, take the guts out, fry it, add salt to it, and eat it, very crunchy and delicious too.

They're actually very nutritious.

Weird thing is I don't like bugs, I fear them, I also am a picky eater, but I just can't pass fried beetles, good stuff.
