Candied grasshopper. Raw horse meat. A fish that was still alive while we tore bits of its body off with chopsticks. Ths was all in Japan.
That's not sashimi. That's Mister Ed.
This video will give you nightmares. If you love animals...don't click this. In fact, if you can't handle seeing some serious fish cruelty, don't click this. This is pretty much exactly how ours looked like. You pick a fish from a tank, and a few minutes later, you're eating it ..... while it's still moving.
The Japanese girls is saying "Chotto Kowai" which means, "I'm a little scared."
Armadillo. Tricked into taking a bit of a barbecued armadillo sandwich in Texas years ago. I thought it was beef or pork--once I tasted it, I knew something was very, very wrong.
Just in case you ever change your mind Mooseketeer I found the recipe for you.
Peach & Mayonnaise Salad
No. 2 can peach halves
¼ cup chopped nuts
½ cup sliced Pascal celery
½ cup chopped dates
â…“ cup mayonnaise
Crisp lettuce
Chill peaches in can. When preparing salad, drain peaches. (Juice may be used in a fruit juice beverage or as part of the liquid in a fruit gelatin dessert.) Mix chopped nuts, celry and dates with mayonnaise. Place a spoonful of this mixture in center of each peach half. Serve on crisp lettuce. 5 servings.

Darling I am touched but you shouldn't have !! Really.... What did those peaches ever do to anyone to deserve such callous treatment ?!?!
That "Gravy" photo made me feel a little queasy ! Gravy ? I think not.
Too many weird foods have passed my lips to list them all, most of them actually pretty tasty though.
Hakarl- Rotten Shark Absolutely vile. Never again until I really do need it to stave off starvation
Rotten Ram's testicles - Same as above - I don't drink Booze but both of the two last ones could turn me to drink. I think I would need some pretty strong spirits to try these again. In fact I would have to be so pickled I did not care anymore....
Tree rat, monkey, insects, snakes, armadillo, anteater, snakes, grubs, ostrich, kangaroo, zebra, springbok, hippo, crocodile, antelope, turtle,moose,elk, reindeer, name it and if it was offered to me I ate it...
Fresh Cow's blood in Kenya , A little Clotty but actually quite nice once you got used to it.
Seal Blubber - Horrid
Seal Liver - Quite nice
Seal Intestines - Horrid
Cow's foot served still with the hair on it - Horrid
Marmot in Mongolia. Tough, chewy and really not my cup of tea. Almost impossible to swallow, the gag reflex stopping you from ingesting what tastes like sinews and string and tastes like sweaty feet. Would certainly give it a miss next time
Horse meat which I know is considered odd by many people but still common in many countries. A good Horse fillet tastes like the most tender beef you have ever had.
Common to me but odd to other people I would say Wild Boar , Hare, Rabbit,and Venison which I simply adore and Game Birds like Pheasant, Partridge. etc.....
And finally very odd to me but not perhaps to others :
Peach and Mayonnaise salad in the US - Really weird and not very nice at all
Marshmallows - Why would anyone want to eat rubbery over sweet little pillows of foam?
Treacle - Yuk, Yuk and Yuk again
Jellies of any kind
Starfruit, Chinese Gooseberries and Kiwi- The most pointless fruits in the Universe IMO -
Rhubarb - Stringy and Bitter. Not my favourite combination
Super sweet desserts and candy- Horrid, makes my face pucker just thinking about it
"Brown Sauce" a devilish concoction in the UK which is about as appealing as it sounds
Marmite/Vegimite - Why would any human being with tastebuds like those ?
String cheese - "Plastic" cheese - Why not have real cheese instead ?
"Plastic" white sliced bread
Step aside Jim9251, I'm pretty sure that Moosketeer [who very well may be Anthony Bourdain's Daddy] has you beat!
As for me:
Uni (Sea Urchin in a Sushi bar) was probably the nastiest.
Menudo (with Pig intestines/chitterlings) runs a close second.
other than that, toungue, cheek, head, and other "parts" are all good. In fact, I will go out of my way to order them. I'll try anything once, and have found very few foods that I really would not eat.
Puffer fish. And, obviously it didn't kill me, but I had to try it once (and never again).
It really isn't any food to write home about.
Also, raw fish eyes.
I'm still wondering why anyone would eat green things out of a cow's intestine...
of course I guess that's better than eating the BROWN things in a cow's intestine!!
In equatorial Africa, at a village wing-ding, I was served, and ate, barbequed Monkey. It wasn't bad at all. Yup....I did go back for seconds. Even though the "Barbeque" sauce was palm oil based.
