Wierd Meats and Eats

We ate there last year too. A bit pricey I thought. Hubs had the sausage and the kids had the venison burgers. I didn't see the scorpions? Are those new this year?

yeah they added bugs this year. talk about pricey - $5 for two teeny, tiny scorpions!

Well that's dumb lol

ok i thought i would only have the opportunity to eat alligator once a year. but we went to this Vietnamese restaurant on Saturday and what do i find? a page of exotics on the menu including alligator:https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...om/4GqifUJ.jpg


i ordered the CA Sau Xuc banh Trang (Cay) which is alligator w/ lemon grass, mints, onions and chili peppers w/ sesame rice chips!

i must try the python next time!


Edit: oh i forgot to mention, this was at Rainier Restaurant/Rainier BBQ in south Seattle BTW. it has been featured on Anthony Bourdain's show!

Most unusual: Zebra, Cape buffalo tongue, impala liver, garlic butter snail.

Less unusual: Eland, kudu, springbok venison, Cape buffalo tail soup.

My freezer is currently full of elk, which, depending on who you are, may or may not be weird. :P

Wild Calling makes (or used to make, they're going bankrupt so I don't know what they have anymore) an alligator canned cat food. He enjoyed their other flavors, but did not seem impressed by that one. :rofl:

The most unusual things I've tried? Duck's tongue, bat soup (big ones, not those tiny fruit bats), dog stew, grilled python chunks on a stick, grilled porcupine chunks on a stick, monitor lizard, entire grilled squids, and turtle soup. To be fair though, where I'm from, most of these are popular foods, so not sure if these count [emoji14]

If we're talking weird ... One of my favourite butties / sandwiches is one where you place your bread and butter down on the plate ... then spread a thin layer of apple sauce over the bread , then add a tablespoon full of garden peas which sink slightly into the apple sauce and stay in place and finally add a slice of spam ( cold or warm - depends if your at home or out and about ... fold the bread over and BITE .

I got the idea from a restaurant where we had gammon and apple sauce and freshly baked bread rolls ...


Tastes absolutely amazing providing you like spam/ peas / apple sauce of course .

i don't know how to describe Iguana but i was trying to keep an open mind but it just wasn't very pleasant to the palate. i had to have a few drinks to wash away that taste.

How are they able to get hold of iguanas for food anyway let alone afford to use them as a food source?
