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.

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.

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.

Mmm you should try them, crunchy shell with a soft gooey center.....

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

Actualy even if you eat them rigling you wont have any problems.....

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:

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.

I have always wanted to taste sharks, does it have a different taste like salmon or just taste like fish?

Why are you worried about animal lovers? You did what you had to, period.

well duh :rolleyes: Not too bright your cousin eh? :D
I've only had squid. Takes like chicken, but softer/rubbery with a slighly fishy taste to it. Whilst I was eating it just tasted different to chicken. Dad told me what is was afterwards.

In a game of dare (when i was young), there aint no rules and no common sense. lol

I have tried squid before, courtsey of my local chinese shop, menu number 132 (mixed sea food). The thing is i wanna try a fresh one instead as the ones i tasted was kinda like a rubber band.

Ive allways wanted to try the deep fried mars bar , Ill get round to it one day

I think i heard something similar on the radio -how some dude fried, oven baked mars bar and added other junk to it. iirc Health authorithies decleared that food the most unhealthiest food recipe ever or something like that.

squids tasteless though, and the texture makes me feel like im eating lubricated rubber

**edit- not that i regularly eat lubricated rubber :p

I agree but when you add spices to it and seasoning it becomes something exquiste. If you can tonight, try and order a "sea food mix" of some sort from your local chinese.

Do you know what im thinking of when you said lubricated rubber.....a condom! :p
