Uncommon food

[stratego]

What's the weirdest thing you've eaten?

An ostrich burger. It was horrible. While I was frying it up it smelled like I was cooking a 3 day old corpse. Tasted horrible. Took one bite and threw it in the garbage.

The wierdest thing I have ever eaten was probably moose burgers. My uncle went hunting and shot a moose, so he gave us some of the meat. It tasted alot like regular beef.

Tobacco.

I was young.

I'd been drinking too much.

It's not really a food.

Enough said.

 

[Dark Ascendant]

I've eaten snails, octopus and squid. And like all three.

 

[Mrogreturns]

Horse sashimi -yes that's raw horse meat.

 

[Archer 007]

sushi!

 

[taper]

Chapstick.


Hey, I was a little kid, the tube said Tootsie Roll, so I ate some. Terrible.

 

[BorgeoisBuffoon]

I think the weirdest thing I ever ate was anything not chicken. I get enough of that.

Okay, maybe the crayons too.

Scrapple. It's not weird until you know what's in it, but it's freakin delicious!

i ate a deep-fried steer testicle once. it was rubbery, and it tasted horrible. I bit it in half, and the the cross-section revealed a couple little 'tubes'. I spit it out and threw it away. My cousin like it, though.

I tried rattlesnake a few months ago. It was in my mountain cabin's front yard, in the bushes. We flushed it out and bashed it with a rake. My brother-in-law then pinned it down with the rake, and I chopped its head off with an axe. then we skinned it, and my wife gutted it and cleaned it. Then we threw it on the b-b-q.

It was horrible tasting.

I used to eat cigarette butts when I was a kid. Anytime my parents took me to someone's house they had to hide the ashtrays.

defends on your defenition of wierd.
this one "dish" i've always though was common, but lately found out that almost no one knows about it:

Fried Flour.

basicaly fry white flour in a frying pan. needs a good bit of butter so as not to burn, and a good bit of sugar to give it taste.

the more butter, the more it sticks together (becomes almost like a pastry) and the more sugar the sweeter it becomes (duh. but i think you need atleast some sugar for it to cook right).
its done when its golden brown.
you need ot mix it a LOT, and i dont suggest cooking it on high heat the first time or you'll burn it (because you wont mix it enough).

Hand lotion. I was about 8 at the time. The sign near the open cans of lotion said "Try me" so I did.

Needless to say, it ranks among the worst things I've tried.

Toasted snail penis.

 

[Amenhotep7]

Calamari...AND IT WAS DELICIOUS!!![dance]

 

[devilzExcremNt]

jellyfish or chicken feet/claws... or maybe pig hooves... cow tongue? eh, i can't decide... but it's definitely one of them... or coagulated cow blood-- which, by the way, does NOT taste good.

EDIT: don't forget quail eggs... just don't think about it while you're eating it! and sea cucumber-- bleah. tastes like... rubber. and pidgeon is good, too, if not just plain creepy when you see its LIVING form pecking food outside. and i think-- but i can't remember-- that i've had snail. i'm pretty sure i've had it before a long time ago... probably wasn't that bad, but i'll never eat it again.
