Most outrageous food you've eaten?

Castiel · 4 Mar 2011 at 12:42

All sorts of bugs, grubs and generally disgusting things.

Interestingly one of the good sources of food in a survival situation are Hedgehogs, bake them in a firepit wrapped in clay and when you remove the hardened clay it removes the bristles.

They taste like, you what I'm going to say...chicken.

Snails are awful, have tried squirrel, pigeon, wildebeest, crocodile, ostrich, kangaroo, swordfish...all ok the tastes are just a variation on meaty really

I draw the line at insects but AFAIK shrimp and prawn are aboout the same as a big insect really..I have heard witchety grubs are nice but have never had the chance

Not sure its classed as food but I once braved a School dinner.

Pure raw sugar cane. My grandad grew them in India. So, so good.

Minke whale by mistake.

Was on a buffet on the ferry to Norway, we all thought it was smoked beef.

Wasn't until we spotted it a week later on the Bergan market we knew what we'd eaten..

Spiders, aligator and some unidentified sea creatures that looked like a testicle with tentacles.

Wild Boar and Kangaroo.

The kangaroo was tough as anything and took an age of chewing!

I've had Crocodile, Ostrich and once I had an actual worm omelette, I tell you that was hard to keep down.

Frogs legs, Alligator - other than that I'm terribly adventurous.

Very fatty. When I had it it was presented like roadkill on a plate, but the meat itself was actually okay. A bit like pork I think.

bulls testicles, frogs, snails, cricket, beetles

Tombo · 4 Mar 2011 at 13:18

Snail, tasted like a garlic elastic band

Pretty most of the above, including wild boar, goose, snake, pigeon, shark, jellyfish, might even have actually ate dog once whey was younger, yes I know! (not in this country), I don't remember it though.

Firestar_3x · 4 Mar 2011 at 13:21

Some unexplanable stuff after a business meeting in Kazakhstan (parts of a sheeps head), not good........

The roo was probably an old one? Roo are wild animals, they are not farmed and the meat are sold by the kilo so the hunters get more profit by killing a older and bigger one. A younger roo is nicer but they don't make as much profit.
