eating exotic/wild stuff?

so what's the exotic stuff you've eaten. i'm pretty boring when it comes to exotic things... i've had sushi.... *pause and wipe drool from my chin* but i've never tried anything really exotic or wild.

anyone eaten cockroaches or snake or kangaroo etc?

i've had turtle, locusts and mealworms.

pheasant, venison, elk jerky, trout, bass, crappie, which really aren't all that exotic, but (and inadvertantly) calf fries. Bleck. :bleh:

alligator, mealworms :eek:

*clears throat* :oops:


All the obvious... Gator, Rattle Snake, ( I know, I was young) Rabbit, Deer, Wild Hog, etc... all the things Texans have deemed edible.... & that's an almost endless list! :P
I'll try anything once....... true! :D And I love to eat. Got the build to prove it too! ;)


BUT!!!! When I was 21 I visited my father that was working in Korea.
We went to a sushi bar?... but it was a Korean sushi bar. *hint* You not only ate raw fish, you picked out what fish, etc. you wanted to eat. So me being who I am, I pointed to a very large fish and a squid that were swimming bye in the holding tank. I'm expecting like, fried calamari?
No. Out comes the live fish that they put into a boiling pot on the table, (best soup I've EVER had BTW).... then the Squid. Alive.
The guy proceeds to chop it up into several squirmy pieces on my plate, and gives me a dish of dipping sauce and chop sticks............
So, I take a very LONNNG drink of my Sojuk? (sp)? Korean Beer= Potato Vodka... and I eat these wiggling, sucking, ALIVE parts of the squid....

WHY you ask? Because... I am able to tell this story. I went on a tour to China alone for the same reason.... I was never going to get the opportunity to do it again....
So there... I'm a live squid eater..... :D :) :D It could be worse! ;)

When i stayed in australia with some indigenous people i ate sea turtle which was AMAZING!!!!!! I have had gator and frog legs, i have eaten wax worms too like for feeding lizards. I can't eat sushi, i can't stand fish, ACK!!!!!!! But i have also eaten venison, and elk.

Laura....I wanna go on a trip with you!!! :D

The most exotic things I've eaten.... cow's tongue, conch, and "rattlesnake eggs" which were actually fried calf testicles. (Actually quite good...but only if you could block out the knowledge of what it really was... :P )

Buffalo, gator, emu, meal worms, red worms, grasshoppers, pine beetle grubs, pig brains (yes the brains) they really reminded me of eggs, cotton mouth, frog legs.

When I was stationed in Korea I ate dog from one of the street vendors, which isn't exactly exotic...and not exactly something I'm proud of...and I'll actually probably delete this later on when I think about what I just typed here...

I have ate, Alligator, Rattle snake, Shark, Mealworms and yes even Rocky Mountian oysters :O Also tried cat food ( poor cats have to eat stuff).
