Strange eats.
 

When i was overseas,i didnt think much of eating mudfish or monkey,or even dog.But stir fried grasshoppers,or deep fried whole little frogs did sorta take me back a bit.I was just wondering if anyone else out there had any old memories of strange food theyve eaten.

fried monkey on a stick, dog, squid jerky, kimchee, but the worst drunken eats I ever tried was Baloot in the PI. For those of you that don't know, Baloot is a rotten, fermented duck egg.

Tried the squid jerky(liked it) and also salted squid(looked like shoestring tater chips). The worst was roast porqupine.....kinda like eating electrical wire and tasting like it too.

It had to be my wife's first attempt at making meatloaf right after we were married. Was a tossup of hamburger tar tar and a meadow muffin.


Does that count?:D

Another vote for balut , that has to be the foulest thing I've ever tried . [:'(]
They aren't actually rotten , they just taste like they are . They start with a fertile duck or chicken egg , incubate it for a few days , and then boil it . The embryo has already begun to form , so it has some "crunch" to it , and the white of the egg is now a thin , watery foul tasting liquid . Vomitting at first taste is common .

Yea Balut is like a boiled egg with pin feathers.

I was wondering around UK some years back and ended up in Scotland last part of January in 1980. Big parties were going on and we stayed in Dunoon (probably spelling it wrong) township and went to a large festival for Burns day. They had Haggis and after severla gallons of brew we began to eat. This is a dish of fat, organs and some type of meal aged and cooked in a sheep stomach (apologies to any Scots out there as I am likely bucthering this specialty). The dish is not bad but once they start going over what is inside some in our party wasted the hard earned brew they had just enjoyed. I thought is was OK and the locals said East Dunoon had the best Haggis in all of Scotland.

Well, i was never too impressed with muktuk or any of the other Inuit food when i was around them...

Interior Alaska natives really like to remove the guts out of a moose/caribou, and depending on where in the stomache and intestines it comes from, (how dijested it is) it ends up being soup or a salid...
