Strangest food you ever ate?

[MKJ]

heh, this made me all the more realize that is all relative
both steak tartare and escargot are pretty common here in euroland.
i guess the turks are saying the same about sheep brain

[Ryoki]

I ate some pretty weird shit in Asia... shark-head, snake, bugs... and a lot of stuff i didn't recognize. Some of it was good, some of it unremarkable, some i would never try again.

Like that goddamn shark-head

Why does everything taste like chicken?

Everyone knows the machines couldn't figure out what to make chicken taste like, which is why chicken tastes like everything.

hello Mouse

[busetibi]

sweetbreads are pretty creepy. was good though.

fkn
you do know that sweetbreads is either the thymus gland or pancreas of a young animal, usually a lamb or calf.

[menkent]

that was my point. tasted good though.
edit: and really, it's no weirder than foie gras or tripe or anything else.

[bork[e]]

snails are a weird thing to be saying is a weird thing to be eating, all you fancy fags should come down to texas for a couple days.

Went to a Japanese restaurant last night and tried a bit of banana tempura

[bork[e]]

When I was living in waco my neighbor was from a small town near the coast. Almost daily they would have frog legs, dove, hog etc... but the best thing I tried while I was there was alligator. Tasted almost like wild hog just a bit rarer I guess.

As for eating brains and balls, kybe.

edit: what is so weird about eating a fried banana?

[Captain]

Because it's a fried banana.

[Dark Metal]

Yes, because that's not a staple of a Caribbean diet. Also, I'm sure there some much more interesting things to try at a Sushi restaurant.

[Captain]

Not a fan of raw food, so I tried some rolls (california, ginger, chicken), shrimp tempura, as well as beef and chicken teriyaki topped off with green tea ice cream.

Delicious

[Dark Metal]

So, the strangest food you've ever eaten is fried banana. For being such a mutt, you're pretty uncultured.

[Captain]

I've tried squid and eel as well, both of which are absolutely disgusting

[bork[e]]

now your catching on, yayz

[seremtan]

also, fried stingray wing, and whitebait fritters and paua (native NZ shellfish) fritters

black pudding is probably pretty strange to most of the world. fucking disgusting shit

[Tsakali]

In Ireland (if I remember correctly) they have a tradition where they cook the placenta and serve it to guests...think of it as a baby shower after the fact.

[seremtan]

an excuse for cannibalism when the potatoes run out

[Ryoki]

I've tried squid and eel as well, both of which are absolutely disgusting

What the hell is wrong with you? Between your comments in the movie thread, your 'art' and now this i think it's safe to say that you're utterly devoid of taste.

Don't you think that taste would be a useful asset in life, so that when something tasteful comes your way you're able to say 'hey this is nice'? How will you ever achieve happiness this way, being unable to appreciate the finer things in life?

I know you can't argue about taste, but you can goddamn well argue about a complete lack of it. Moron.

[MKJ]

shit son, you mad

[Ryoki]

Nothing pisses me off more than unkultur.

[plained]

i really dont think any foods are strange so to speak

my concern wouldbe what it ate b4 i ate it

[Captain]

GRRR I'D BETTER LET EVERYONE KNOW HOW MUCH I DISAGREE ON THE INTERNET

fucking agreed, I was certain most of the shit that comes out of his mouth is trolling, but after over 2 years of retarded opinions I'm starting to worry.

[Doombrain]

Some Swedish shit which was just meat in potato. i was served it at some gala event, they all seemed so proud of it. Plain as dish water.

[werldhed]

I recall a similar thread quite some years back.

If I remember correctly, Saturn won that contest, by quite a disgusting margin..

Anyway, strangest "food" was probably grubs that live in the burls of tall grasses. They tasted like walnuts.
I also was talking with a park naturalist once about organic matter that makes up swamp and lake muck. They explained that it was actually edible and you could eat it if you were starving in the woods. So naturally I tried a bit. It tasted like you might expect.

Also, lutefisk. It's just wrong.

As for bananas... wut? I grill bananas on a regular basis. They're fantastic. And any decent sushi bar will serve eel.


EDIT: Some food that's not gross, but just weird, is snot fruit, which I first had in Mexico. I had never heard of it before. Slimy, but delicious.


And I had kalua pig while in Hawai'i. Again, delicious, but the concept is a bit archaic.
