Well the tittle says it all. For me the things i have eaten are listed below...Get yourself ready

Dog - I had this as my clan believe in the God of iron (Ogun), a male canine is use for the sacrifice and offering to appease the god.

Bat - We literaly shot them down the sky (with stone catapaults) in the evening when they storm out of the caves and tree for hunting.

Snakes - Mostly all sorts that live in the tropics, My ganddad use to bring huge looking snake home from the farm.

African giant rat - we get this a lot during the maize/corn harvest time and man they taste nice. http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?i...s?q=african+giant+rat&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&sa=N

Winged termites and Queen termite - The winged are slightly roasted and it is a good source of proteins, as for the queen termite, you have to break the termite castle to get to her and be prepare for loads of hostility to from the workers in the nest.

African giant snails - a natural source of afrodisiac, i ate plenty of this and yes they are natural afrodisiac. Just look at the size of them http://www.agri.state.id.us/Categories/PlantsInsects/PlantDiseasesAndOtherPests/Images/GALS.jpeg

Antelopes/deers - This i tried couple of times, my uncle shot them down with his home made rifle.

Monkeys- The first time i saw it been roasted, it looked like a human baby with a tail and i felt like a cannibal but once the serving was done man i forgot all about my guilt.

Other include eating raw crabs, fish, squireil and the giant ant eater. That's all i can remember from the top of my head.

I bet some of you think i am crazy or i am an animal! Well i am not crazy, if you live in that part of the world, you will understand why and for the animal bit, maybe i am but a human version :D

Now who can beat my record. Go on let hear/see the weirdst thing you've eaten apart from your lamb, beef, pork and salmon!! Remember one man's meat is another man's poison.
 
Nothing I can really think of that's really weird.

I guess snails and shark are about the only two non English conventional things I've eaten.
 
I'd try all that. I think as a nation we are quite ignorant to such things. We are the only culture that doesn't eat insects, for instance.

I've never heard of the french eating insects, or the japanese (though they may for all I know) definitely not the americans, the swiss eat insects do they?

Intresting, any idea as to why?

Now that you mentioned it, In woolich (london) there is a green park around there with a big pond, i have heard stories of people of eastern european origin coming there at night/dawn to knock the swans unconsious and take them home....Perhaps it is a urban myth though.

That goey centre is Organic and rich in proteins, provided it is well prepared you wont have any problems.

UK, Europe and North America as the generally accepted "Western Culture".

Africa, Middle East, South America, Asia, Far East, Australasia so yes everyone else eats insects.

Lovely sweeping generalisation of cultures there :)
The word culture becomes fairly meaningless when you group them by continents like that.
 
many many fish including


marlin, shark, dorado, conch, barracuda, bonefish, can't think of any more atm, but it all happened over the course of a 2 week holiday in bahamas fishing for those above fish and what ever else we could catch, but before the animal lovers flame me i never neither did the others kill what we caught ALWAYS released.
 
to the OP, where do you live, or, where are you from.

it sounds an Awful lot like southern america or central africa...

Erm no thanks, my cousin one eat two scorpions while they are still alive as a dare, the second one stung hin on the roof of his mouth! Man the site was ugly. He couldnt eat for 3days or so and his head looks like that of Gordon brown for weeks.

From what i know, they taste better when dead. :cool:

You display total ignorance to my original post. I then clarify it for you and now you say I'm generalising :confused:

The overwhelming majority of the worlds population eats insects, so grouping into continents makes perfect sense.
