Eating kudu & springbok in South Africa (neither of which tasted like chicken.) Stranger still: the “mystery curries.” God only knows what was in them, but they were GOOD.

Hmmm, after living in Mexico, which one should I choose? Fried crickets with lime and chile, sucking the marrow out of stewed goat knees? I didn’t like being tricked into trying (and HATING) cow brain tacos. I saved my friend from a meal by inviting her over to eat when she found a complete monkey head in her fridge—her family had monkey brain tacos and monkey blood soup for dinner. No wonder I turned veggie!

My in-laws (back when hubby and I were just dating) took us to an authentic Chinese New Year dinner. Also at the dinner, three couples from their Synagogue. Needless to say, I was the only one who could rightly try the pig’s ear, but I really didn’t want to, but I didn’t want to be rude either!

I can’t believe I just read the phrase “sucking the marrow out of stewed goat knees”. I actually grabbed my stomach in horror.

My weirdest food experience was my teenage years, we always visited a place called, “The Via Bass” I was more or less vegetarian at the time and just coming around to meat. My father had ordered something that looked interesting, knowing I wouldn’t eat it if he told me what it was he said it was roast beef. I took a small bite and went back for more, this beef was good. Except it wasn’t beef, my dad tried consealing a laugh but I saw him. I knew it wasn’t just roast beef. What is it dad? He finally, after I had swallowed my bigger bite he told me….I’d just ate a cow’s tongue. Needless to say I ran to the bathroom. That would be my weirdest experience with food.

chocolate covered worms and birch beer :)

I feel sick now…
July 30th, 2007 - 13:25
Ugh, me too.

Monkey brain tacos and monkey blood soup had me blanching over lunch. I’m fairly adventurous with food, except when it comes to eating minds.

I had this Polish sausage once.
I know that sounds tame, but you weren’t there.
July 30th, 2007 - 14:19
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
July 30th, 2007 - 14:30
And to taste.

Not to mention to feel—the texture is somewhere between a jelly fish and the inside of a Three Musketeers. Your teeth pop through after a slight bit of tension—awful!

mmm …. brains. Is Mexico filled with zombies?
July 30th, 2007 - 14:53
No, that’s Canada.

My weirdest food experienc was accidental. Scooped up a spoonful of the macaroni salad, popped it in my mouth… Then something moved on my tongue! I spit out the macaroni and the, still living, cocroach :)

GAH!

Gross!

Ah! Is it too late? I love no reservations. In regards to the beef tongue comment…I’ve had it at a Persian restaraunt and it is sooo good. Like the most tender, flavorfull roast beef. Not at all the texture you thing a big slimy tongue would be. I guess my strangest food experience…hmmmI can’t choose. There were chicken feet at a local oriental buffet. The sauce was good but the feet were…well bony, skin-y feet. Someone at work brought in a Durian, which we tried. Man that smell!! but I kinda liked it. I just tried to forget that it was a fruit, because it’s hardly fruit-like. it’s more like a creamy stinky cheese.

Oh, my God. Can Shannon win? I mean, really. Monkey brain tacos and monkey blood soup?
August 1st, 2007 - 12:18
I know, right? Unfortunately, it’s a random drawing, so it’s anyone’s game.
Although for pure gross-out, Shannon sure takes the prize.

I was pretty freaked out when my mother-in-law made a whole holiday meal using animals that she personally raised, slaughtered, and cooked only a few days beforehand. Although it was of the best meals I have ever had.
