Strangest thing you ever ate?

[Xanatos]

This thread was inspired by DragonHeart and her eating a fuzzy caterpillar once

Aside eating my own booger when I was a kid I would say a hedgehog. It tastes pretty darn good, you just have to chew a lot since it's meat tends to be rough. Some consider it strange and somewhat gross, but goat meat is a common delicacy here, it's easy to prepare and goes well with potatoes. I was once offered to eat a snake, it looked lovely and well prepared but goddamn, I couldn't stand the smell.

Glad I'm an inspiration to someone.

That was probably the weirdest thing I've eaten, but not the grossest by a long shot. But I suppose that's a subject for a different thread. So yeah, fuzzy caterpillar. I don't recommend it.

Peanut Butter, Jelly, & Cheez-It sandwich.

An old friend of mine got me to try it once while I was babysitting her son. It's not something I would eat regularly, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be. Runner-up would likely be Salsa Doritos with Marshmallow Fluff as dip. My buddy Marc got a bunch of people to try it once during lunch, and surprisingly it wasn't half bad. That's one I would consider eating again.

My friend and I had turkey and tuna salad sandwiches once. We thought it was chicken salad, which when put on a sliced turkey sandwich is already kinda strange, but we were also slightly high.

We brewed some beer, and it turns out the type of hops we got were quite close to the cannabis family, so we got a wee bit more than just a beer buzz, especially since we made sure to get the bottom of the barrel stuff and bottle it, so it would be extra strong. We were giggling like idiots watching The King of Queens, got hungry and thought the tuna was chicken. It wasn't horrible, not gonna lie!

I've been trying to think of the strangest thing I ate ever since this thread popped up, but honestly the only thing that's coming to mind is cow tongue. It's not even that strange either. For someone who likes food as much as I do, I don't really experiment around lot with it. :/

Honeyed Ants and Honeyed Grasshopers. Crunchy... but delicious.

I made some Bacon brownies last week. I kid you not; it is actually a Nigella Lawson recipe. The bacon is fried with golden syrup, so does not distract from the chocolatey goodness, but when you think on it, it's not so odd. I mean, people eat and order sausage and pancakes every day at Macs.

... I guess it would be the French delicacy of escargots. Like garlic prawns, but more chewy. Not unpleasant, though.

Also, I dunk fries into milkshakes. I tried this out of curiosity (I ordered a discounted adult meal, and a nuggets happy meal with shake and a fruit bag, so I had a small shake to dunk the fries in) when a friend of mine was talking about pregnancy cravings. Not too bad, especially with strawberry shake.

God, I do eat some rubbish... -_-

Maybe cow tripe.



There was something with an odder texture I ate at one point, and it was meat, but I don't remember what it was. It was really, really squishy though... Tough to chew.

Usually it's the texture that grosses me out more than what I'm actually eating. Though bugs... I don't know if I could eat a bug, no matter how well prepared. Yet it's okay to eat something like shrimp... weird.

I ate this strange pickled thing once. It was dark and someone offered me a fork-ful, so I have no idea what it was, but from the tough chewy texture, I would wager some sort of octopus tentacle. The juices it had been floating in were really bitter and I gagged as it went down my throat. The person who handed it to me looked at me like I was nuts. I guess there's no accounting for taste.

I had these wierd shriveled berries that were meant to be one of the superfoods. They looked like giant red raisins and were the most dry, bitter and disgusting things I have ever eaten. Why are the healthier foods more gross than their deep fried kind?
