Hey....how could you not like Conch??? I love it! Then again, I love most sea food.

I don't know that I've ever eaten anything that ended up tasting all that weird. Even gator and rattle snake end up tasting like chicken in the end. Maybe a little tougher and gamier.....but for sure a chicken taste.
I'm not very fond of squirrel though.

I really had to force myself to even try Harkal (rotten shark meat ) in Iceland and an even harder time keeping it down. Definitely my least favourite food in the world .

I will try almost anything ( being an arachnophobe roasted spider a bit too much for me however) but this really was absolutely foul. I still shudder when I think about it.

Oh absolutely , a gastronomic treat not to be missed at any cost !

I would be delighted to send you some should you ever find yourself pining for those culinary delights....

I remember an Icelandic guy being grossed out by me eating insects and grubs ( which were actually quite nice). Talk about the Pot calling the Kettle black !


Still to this day the worst thing I have ever eaten. Pickled Ram's Testicles ( also Iceland) and Marmot coming a close second and third and I have eaten some pretty weird stuff ....

I've never had Kimchi, what is it like ? I know it is supposed to smell vile but does the taste go with the smell ?
