what is the weirdest food you have ever eaten?

I ate boiled fresh walrus meat in Alaska.

It was a very dark purple meat and had veins, it was tough and tasted horrible to me.

Uni. Not too weird by sushi standards, but it was disgusting and I have no desire to continue in the weird food adventure.

what the hell... thats disgusting...

I've also had bear meat in sausage form. A little gamey, but not bad.

burger king chicken nugget. i don't know if it really was a food or not.

Quail meat

Quail? How so? Bony I guess, and small game, but... ?

Little baby BBQ chickens on a stick ,in Manila Philippines . The beak was the best part. I was not brave enough to eat Balut . Disgusting food in the phils stay away.

Spanish mackerel eyes. They were sweet. Interesting dish, whole fried mackerel, the bones are like chips.

Walrus gets more exercise than cows in fenced areas and limited movement. Big veins essential.. more like big arteries. Never ate it.

I have eaten Mountain Sheep which is tough too and must be simmered... it tasted a lot like lamb but milder.

I decided one day to eat a few larva from the grain bugs.. it was actually sweet tasting.. but I don't collect and eat them... I put them down for the cat.

Same time, same place.. Mung fish liver. I liked it also.

I live in Louisiana so what many people would consider weird is normal fare here. Alligator,crawfish, shrimp, snails, raccoon, squirrel, duck, nutria, rabbit, deer, quail, wild turkey, etc. If it flies, swims, or walks there is probably a recipe for it in La.

Anyway, the weirdest (unusual) think I have eaten is ostrich meat. Marinated and grilled it was really good. Tender and red meat much like beef.

I have some in the freezer, but haven't tried it yet. (ostrich)

I used to eat meat but not anymore...so I would say, any animal...yuck, I don’t like meat!!!

Fried grasshoppers.

Small Octapus.

I don't either.. because of the tampering originally with it. So many additives in "Market meat" it would not stir fry.. only boil in its own water. I was also becoming more concerned on how it is RAISED as I learned more. I grew up in a small town where cows roamed in the fields etc... Pigs had space too as well as chickens.. so I was not very aware of FACTORY FARMING. But I became aware..

I stopped eating flesh in early 2000. And I got better as to my health not ingesting all the additives.

I have on occasion.. eaten HALAL meat which is raised in a HOLY WAY.. but I find meat hard to digest now anyway... We are an overpopulated world consuming too much flesh.. and its biting this planet and her peoples big time.

I eat eggs... because I need the cholesterol in them to make my body steroids... having suffered total pituitary failure years ago.

In fact since most of mankind but not all do NEED cholesterol for that purpose.. is why CHICKENS WERE GIVEN TO THIS WORLD in the first place.. but they are raised terribly and I do the best I can.. I will not buy eggs from caged chickens. But I have to buy some of the time cage free eggs.. in which chickens still live a bit crowded indoors. That will change. It is gradually changing.

I had read that Mother Pigs were kept in stalls that prevented them being able to lie down while nursing.. they have to stand for weeks on end. I got proof of that a number of years ago when a tornado took the roof off a barn. which was full of pigs with METAL cage pushing on their very flesh so they could not lie down.

Now the reason also for Pigs being "unclean" as food from the bible is they were crossed with human DNA which is why they are smart and which is also why their hide is THIN and soft compared to other animals.

PIG SKIN is loved for its "Leather" which is really not fully leather.

Consider that when you dine on PIG.

1991 in Seoul Korea.
Kaygogi (dog)...Since the 1988 Olympics, most restaurants that served Kagogi had been either shut down or moved off to streets not likely to be visited by westerners. But I wanted to try it and had my hosts take me to a place not far from Itaewon, the area where the US base is.
Entering the restaurant, the first thing you notice is the smell of wet dog....
Which is a change from the smell of garlic and sewer gases everywhere in Seoul, part of the pervasive garlic atmosphere.
During the meal, one of the host party picked out a piece of meat for me and passed it.
After I ate it, he helpfully offered, "That is dog penn-iss, very good for you.

Still just meat..

Every country has some form of barbequed " dead animal on a stick" as a street food.

Always tasty and edible no matter where I've been.

I do know what you’re talking about, I really do!

While I was with a child, I couldn’t eat any meat at all. Then I just stopped eating it. But my family do eat all types of meats.

Maybe it’s because of my OCD that I have to use gloves while preparing all the meals...it’s so sad to have bloody animal’s parts on my hands...it’s so cruel for me... I’m weird!

I would like not to talk about those intensive animal farming. Humans have shown that we’re destroying our own planet.

Blessings to you my dear!

Bowl of bar insects in Vietnam and Thailand, dog in Laos (cooked 3 different ways), bowl of fried worms in China, bat in Laos, rat in India and tons of streetfood that I never really figured out.

Native American Road Kill Stew at these pow wows my wife and I would go to, she was Native American. The cook even wrote a book about harvesting road kill, one thing is taking the rectal temperature of the animal to determine its freshness. So I've eaten all kinds of smushed critters that had a thermometer up its ass before being cooked.

Sweet breads

I had this strange Filipino dish with a sauce made of congealed pig blood. It was cold and nasty. I'll not eat most Filipino food anymore.

Either pickled jellyfish or grilled ostrich

Buttered and fried lamb testicles served on toast points.

Omelette aka lamb brains.

Both were scrumptious!

Auto correct

Should read: Omlette ala lamb brains

Either Possum or Coon.
My Grandfather & Grandmother were both dark skinned blacks. They were from the South so even though they settled in Chicago, they still went hunting and they would tell you that 'everything' tasted like chicken. It. Does. Not. Like do you really want to eat possom(rat) for Thanksgiving? Fk no. It tastes like rubber or meat that shouldn't be eaten.

These have to be soaked overnight in a tub to be edible, according to my Mother's late 1930s Boston Cooking School cookbook, which actually outlined everything you needed to know about cooking a Possum.

Don't recall that brining is an issue, but read up for yourself.
Oily animals for sure.

But think duck, goose or any other animal so oily it never really gets wet.
