I quite like to try unusual food. What's the weirdest item of food you've ever placed in your laughing tackle?

Steamed eagles chins, perhaps.

Loin of peacock?

Casserole of Tram driver's glove?

Tell me.

battered mars bar. disgusting, closely followed by macdonalds

Quite where on a peacock is its loin?

Snails in garlic butter sauce is delicious.

Moules and fries, flemmish style.

Sushi ummmmm

Once ordered calamaras in Lisbon expecting the usual fried squid legs and was surprised when presented with a plate of baby squid all about 3/4 inch in length. Tasty though.

Ostrich meat, tried it twice once in a burger (only tasted of onions) and the other was a steak....nothing special. The missis wont buy me a leg to try or an egg for my soldiers in the morning...lol

Ostrich is nice.

Also I like sweetbreads. :o

Nomme

Love it.

Stuff Like -

Had roast termites (winged variety) in Ghana - nice - crunchy texture and pleasant nutty taste.

Indonesian "mystery meat" jerky which certainly contained dog - chewy, salty and dull.

Smoked Horse Meat from a Belgian Charcuterie. Delicious.

Moose, boiled for hours with spring onions and string beans. My national dish, and quite 'gamey'.

Carpaccio(sp?) finely sliced (raw) beef in a rocket and parmesan salad. Yum.

Octopus is quite tasty,sort of chewy ang rubbery if you know what I mean.

I've had in the past:
Crocodile
Octipus
Squid
Frogs Legs
Snails
Nice & tasty - try them!

I had Croc and Snails last weekend.

I have also tried...

Squid, battered mars, Peanut butter and mustard sarnies... good they tatse good!

Cray fish, looking like erm... cray fish! eww!

The most unusual foodstuff I have tried has got to be Ostrich Biltong - has the look and consistancy of a piece of old boot and the taste of ermmmm a piece of old boot! (Well assuming old boots taste of leather and salt!)

Curried goat, Hillsborough Fair this summer!
V. nice!

hmmmm off the top of my head....

Fried grasshoppers - Cambodia

Horsemeat in pasta - Kyrgyzstan

Kumys (fermented mare's milk) - Kyrgyzstan

Baby pigeon soup - Uzbekistan

Goat's head stew (lungs, stomach, rice intestine and broth from boiled goat's head) - Xinjiang (China)

Whale meat - Norway

Bison/Venison/Moose/ etc. - Canada

And various things like eel, frog's legs, sweetbreads, croc, ostrich, etc. in times and places I don't remember.

I think you are all very disturbed :o :loopy: I can't even stomach seafood never mind Squid and roast termintes :loopy:

Wow deep fried mars bars are one of my favourite foods! I can't have them often though. Just sniffing one makes you gain ten pounds! :D

I once ordered a seafood pizza from a proper italian place, thinking it would just have prawns and tuna on it. Anyway the pizza was lovely - apart from the baby octopus stuck on top.

They looked like spiders with big rubber heads! Yech!! Not suprising that I had nightmares that night.

I also boiled some Periwinkles from a beach once. They were gross too but of course I was made to eat them becasue I'd killed them.

I'll never kill anything again!

I remember in Cafe Rouge one day when someone I knew ordered 'Fruits of the Sea' thinking it was fruit that fell in the sea and was pulled back out - very exotic sounding.... of course it was a huge plate of seafood with octopus etc with head on, eyes staring at her ! She had her Tuna Steak but I got the rest as she kept feeling stared at. Yum :P
