I too have had dog. Didn't want to say that one its very greasy. :puke:

Along with the typical US exotics (alligator, sushi, elk, venison, bear, rattle snake, etc.) I spent a lot of time in China so I basically tried everything just to say I had . Some really good some gross.


Dog is a common (used to be sold at Wally World there)
Shark Fin (delicious)
Monkey (gross due to the thought but tastes like any game meat)
Live Squid and Octopus - very different
Jelly Fish and Jelly Fish soup (gross you have to slurp it)
Abalony (awesome...but very expensive for fresh)
Conch
wax worms, roaches, scorpions (appetizers)
BBQ tarantulas (very hard to eat an oh so nasty)

If you want greasy you try possum. My uncle was a trapper by trade. If he trapped it you ate it. There was no wasting food. Raccoon, squirrel, rabbit, possum. My aunt could do miracles with food. Also ate alligator, snake, turtle, etc. If you were squimish you didn't want to ask what she was serving,:)
I've also eaten dog , cat and rabbit food, mealworms. Usually to annoy someone or just out of curiosity. Fish food is the worst by far.:puke2:

I'm vegetarian hahaha this thread makes me glad I am :puke:

Nothing like coon in my opinion. Aunt Ida made great coon meatloaf. Just don't tell your cousins' new "city slicker" boyfriend what he just ate. WHAT A MESS!!:giggle: :giggle: :giggle:

On a cruise I tried the typical stuff, calamari and escargot(sp?)

I have eaten deer, elk, alligator, snow crabs, tons of fish and lots of other stuff

Nice thread. :)


crickets (while working for the freakshow - as a stage hand not an exhibit)
mealworms (^^^^^^)
waxworms (to gross out annoying customers in the pet shop and make them leave - they are actually really tasty by the way :D )

I also used to eat a sannich while counting out frozen mice/rats then answer the phone and inadvertantly switch hands - on the plus side I now appear to be immune to salmonella.

Oh and haggis - which I love but for some reason other people don't. I can only assume it's beacuse the recipie reads more like a parts list than a tasty treat.


I would also like to state for the record that I have never NEVER eaten a deep fried mars bar.

Though I will admit to eating a "pizzafishchickenkebab" - basically donner kebab meat,deep fried chicken peices and deep fried battered fish and french fries all pilled on top of (and subsequently rolled up in) a pizza of indeterminate gender and age (for the gourmand pakora may be added at a small surcharge). For best effect both ketchup and lashings of chilli sauce should be applied -n.b. put toilet paper in the freezer before retiring.

hares blood soup was also probably little unusual now I look back on it but was amazingly rich and tasty.

BLOOD SAUSAGE !

Is a sausage made by cooking animal blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. Blood sausage is a more recent North American term for the same as well as a useful term for similar blood-based solid foods around the world.

Pig or cattle blood is most often used; sheep and goat blood are used to a lesser extent. Blood from poultry, horses and other animals are used more rarely. Typical fillers include meat, fat, suet, bread, barley and oatmeal.

Its freaking gross is like soaking bread in hamburger meat and the toasting it. :puke:
But we had to eat it in we were in Romania and thats what the host was serving.
