Yea black pudding was the local name. I'm not adventurous enough to try it twice. But I'll take your word for it

Does anyone eat cecadas?" I've had a couple, but I heard the 17 year cecadas are coming out this year. I have a Ciceda recipe book on hand. I'm also planning on trying most of my Chameleon feeders. I'll post recipes if any of them come out ok. Other than that I've had rabbit and deer, I eat escargot, clams, oysters, hearing, alligator and chicken livers on a regular basis. The grossest thing I've ever eaten was a hot dog that fell on the floor, closely followed by a hot dog that hadn't fallen on the floor :eek:

Goat, venison, goat fries, etc. Tongue is a great delicacy in my family...poached gently until tender then cooled and sliced into sandwhich meat. Also, kidneys are just delicious...slice thin, marinate in olive oil and fresh basil, sautee just a few minutes until tender and serve over pasta with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Used to totally gross my vegetarian bf out.

I also had a deep interest in wild foods, so:
Snapping turtle (gross, tasted like rotting meat)
Softshelled turtle (fried, awesome...like rabbit)
Copperhead (stringy, tough)
Opossum (greasy and gamy)
Woodchuck (good when young, but adults have a strong and unpleasant odor)
Raccoon (tasty)
Muskrat (like mud-flavoured raccoon)
Squirrel (fabulous fried)
Chipmunks/mice (More bones than meat)
Wild freshwater mussels (like mud-flavoured seafood)
Wild crayfish (heavenly, if you could only catch enough of them)
Wild turkey (out of this world, like nothing a store turkey could ever dream of)
Grasshoppers (crunchy, odd-flavoured)

Daylilly buds (lovely tender things)
Daylilly roots (starchy)
Groundnuts (tasty)
Spring beauty tubers (Yummy, but tiny and takes forever to gather a bunch)
Wild wintergreen berries (same as Spring beauty tubers)
Acorns (too much work to process)
Assorted wild mushrooms (delicious)

Not much here. Cricket, mealworm, a live fish, deer, sushi

Escargot, venison, frog legs, squirrel pot pie, BBQ racoon, gator, calamari (is that really exotic any more?). I think that's it.

Soju is Korean alcohol. It's not beer, just a weak alcohol. though it's only 25% by volume, it'll really mess you up. You'll feel like you never felt before. Especially the day after.

In Korea beer is pronounced. Mek-ju.

Well in my adventures to Korea I ate all the sushi stuff mentioned before. No dog but I would have it was available. I tried silkworms there though. I'll tell you when you wake up hung over in a strange house and some strange person is trying to feed you something that's spicy with vegetables and clams in it you feel kind of awkward. There's too many different foods I've had in Korea that many people here would consider to be exotic so I'll just post a link to a site. I've had everything there but the actual royal meals (probably eaten the individual dishes though) http://english.tour2korea.com/05food...m=m5_1&konum=1

I was in Korea for 4 years so I ate a lot of different things there.

I've eaten real Iraqi Kabob amongst other native foods that I couldn't even begin to remember what they were called as well.

Oh and I could live off of venison, It's a regular part of life for me so I don't think of it as exotic.

Agh! Well, that explains ALOT! :D I guess you'd haft to know my dad.... Proud Irish that we are... 30 min. after getting there he says "wanna beer"? I think sure, I just hiked up a partial mountain to get here! He gives me Soju.... :carouse: I still get the willies thinking about that first sip!!!

Did you frequent (I'm gonna butcher this)......Eta-won? I only spent 3 weeks there, but to this day... the sight of (gonna kill this too) Kim chi? :oops: BLAH.

I had some of the most amazing photos from my trip. The markets were CRAZY! I'll never forget seeing a bucket of Octopus! Awesome stuff... And yes... I yelled at the lady selling cats and dogs. I completely promised myself that I wouldn't, but .... yea. I did.
