Strange food

[sgluckadoo]

What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten?

I would have to say frog legs.

I have eaten tripe (cow tongue), and I wasn't particularly crazy about it.  I don't eat chitterlings (hog intestines); I take that back; I ate them twice; I was 9 and tasted one; it looked like a piece of wrinkled brain and tasted even worse.  I had a girlfriend in Chicago that cooked 60 pounds of those disgusting things and she invited me to Thanksgiving dinner, so I told her I would eat one.  It took me an hour, and after I got tired of looking at it, I mixed it with some of my dressing and ate it.  I am not fond of them and never will be.  That is why I couldn't bring myself to eat some of the things my late grandmother ate; she ate rabbits and turtles.  Yukky!!

I once ate turtle burgers, on a cruise where we stopped at an island.  When I was small my one grandmother made pig's stomach.

I don't think I've really eaten anything that weird. I know I have tried just about every meat there is since I have traveled all over the world. Guinea pig?

I'm glad the strangest thing I every tried was Star Fruit. It is pretty good.

I didn't know I ate raccoon, until they told me.

I didn't know I ate raccoon, until they told me.

Two questions:
1- what did you do when they told you?
2- what did it taste like?

Probably mine was eating cow stomach.  My mom used to sponsor Hmong immigrants to our area years ago, so our family was frequently invited to parties.  After eating one of the spicy meat dishes we asked what it was and were told it was cow stomach.  Was like eating a rubber band with beef stuck to it.  Wasn't a favorite of mine.

Cow stomach....it was a Hmong dish.  It tasted ok, I guess, because I didn't know what it was until after I was done!

Maybe not a big thing to others, but I would say snake skin was different for me (at least knowing where this came from). One thing that seemed interesting, but something I probably wouldn't want to try is really live sushi. I've seen a Youtube clip once of a live fish being cut in half and the fish is still moving (and supposedly alive) while the person is eating the rest of the fish.

I think I would have to say rattlesnake.  But, I must admit it was delicious!!!!

When I was a kid I had rattlesnake and bear steak at my aunt and uncle's house.  He was a taxidermist so they had some really different things to eat.

I don't remember eating anything strange. I try to stick with the normal food.
