What is the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten?

Good Day! - posted on 12/11/2010

Thought of another one...squirrel stew...but if any of your husband's are hunters, I'm sure you've had it too.

My dad doesn't hunt, but Jason does. I'll never forget, the first fall we were married I came home to a skinned, headless squirrel soaking in a tupperware bowl on my counter. I thought I was going to throw up. I refused to cook it or do anything with it, so HE makes the squirrel stews. As long as I don't see another squirrel in that condition, I'll eat the stew without asking.

I've had alligator although not so out there really most of you have eaten it.

I've eaten cracklin too eurgh I hate it, which makes my family happy because it means there is more for them to eat. Scratchings as well which is very similar to cracklin. Yuk!

I have eaten pigeon and rabbit but can't remember them, I was too young.

@Cathy..nope...my FIL probably still has the same batch pickling over his house from the last time we were there, he feeds me one everytime i come..that and the moonshine he has in a mason jar behind the couch, im sure he started fermentating that in 1960 it's so strong.lol

if ya'll think chitlins looks wrong, wait til you smell it when you cook it...AAARRGGGHHH...we weren't raised on pork..my mom's father was actually jewish and it wasn't any pork to be had, so when we try to eat pork we break out or get sick...if im starving i'll rip the pepperoni off a slice of pizza and deal with the consequences later, but i used ot go to my ex-fiancee's family's house for holidays and when they started spooning the chitlins out the dish i almost ran all the way home....it was horrid..but they loved it...

I've pickled eggs for Christmas ... is that just a British thing?

I've heard Cow Tongue is pretty good but HELL-TO-THE-NO. Cracklins and chitlins are a southern thing. GROSS but I have tried them.

I would never in a million years eat a slug or a worm or brains.



Alligator wasn't very good. it was kinda tough and tasted like salt water.



My Grandmother used to eat Pickled Pig Feet all the time. BARF



You ladies have me beat by far.

Pork cracklin' yummy, can't have roast pork without the cracklin'!

When I was 18 I was a camp counsellor. I lost a game where the campers all try to "capture the counsellor". As a result, I had to eat a banana slug. I called him Bobby and I'm not sure who was traumatized worse. Luckily, despite the fact that I was underage, another older counselor snuck me some whiskey right afterwards. I think he saved my life.

I can't ever recall eating chitlins, but I have eaten cracklins...deep fried pig skin and fat. That will clog your arteries and break your teeth. They are very crunchy and salty, like a bad thick potato chip. It's not something I'll go out of my way to eat. I think chitlins have a chewier texture.

oh I love frog legs! don't get them too often though. :( but the strangest thing I've ever eaten would probably chitterlings and cow brains. The chitterlings were voluntary, the cow brains were a sneaky prank from my dad, who loves cow brains and eggs!

Cathy - posted on 12/08/2010

I had deep fried bone marrow once. Weird, kind of like calamari.

Charlie - posted on 12/08/2010

Oh god *gag* haha I always wondered what chitlins were , have you had them ? are they good ?

Shannen - posted on 12/08/2010

My dad used to eat tripe in white sauce and sometimes he would share with me. I vaguely remember it being nice when cooked right.
Tah, my hubby wants me to try cow tongue.
I'll try anything once but i just googled chitlins and that just looks wrong!

Good Day! - posted on 12/07/2010

chitlins are deep fried pig intestines...

Charlie - posted on 12/07/2010

don't do it shannen!! brains are horrible. they have the worst texture ever, and the taste...*shivers*

Shannen - posted on 12/07/2010

I know i do want to try deep fried lambs brain. Poach it in milk crumb it and then fry very quick and it's supposed to be a very soft sort of meat. I like to try new and dofferent things sometimes!

Nikki - posted on 12/07/2010

Well there you go, my Dad is a liar! Still gross but!

Lambs brains in white sauce at a friends house *puke*
I love marinated baby octopus !!!
Crocodile is so delish , best meat ever .

Jodi - posted on 12/06/2010

I've done the crocodile, emu and kangaroo too. I think it's getting to a point where most Aussie either have, or probably will in the near future. Pigeon. Water buffalo.

Worms :( It was a dare when I was a kid, and it was disgusting......

I'm not very adventurous, so i'd have to say horse... that's pretty far out there for me..

Nikki lambs fry is lambs liver not brain! I LOVE lambs fry & Bacon best winter food ever that of course i couldn't eat due to being pregnant all winter!

I've had frog legs but the strangest (most disquting) thing I've ever had is pickled octopus. Ick. It still had the suction cup thingys on it and everything.

Rosie - posted on 12/06/2010

cow brains. my grandmother lied and told us it was fish patties. i took a bite thought it was disgusting, and wouldn't eat the rest of my "fish". they told us afterwards, i was mortified. i think i was like 12.

Lambs fry and bacon, I only ate it because i didn't know what it was *dry reaches* Lambs brains.

Shannen - posted on 12/06/2010

Kangaroo was good. I want to try Croc.
But i'm boring and it would have to be ox tail.

Charlie - posted on 12/06/2010

Squid is really popular here as calamari rings you can get it at every take away shop .

Hmm Ive eaten crocodile , emu , Kangaroo ( this is getting popular too )

When I was 17 I had a 'slumber party' with lots of weed and we played truth or dare... a couple of us were dared to eat a mixture of whatever the others put in a cup... so whatever condiments and food that could be blended in the fridge and cupboard was in there. Ketchup, bread, mustard, jam, honey, milk, strawberries, raman noodles, peanut butter, weed, vodka, yogurt, chocolate, and god only knows what else... it was the most disgusting thing I've ever ate

Amber - posted on 12/06/2010

I'm not a really strange eater...I'm incredibly picky.
I have tried squid, escargot, and sushi....I'm sure other things too, but not very many.

Hog's pudding sounds kind of like boudin.

♏*PHOENIX*♏ - posted on 12/06/2010

Squid, Alligator…use to be strange, but I eat Squid often, and Alligator every year at the Bite of Seattle…we go there just to get the Gator.



The oddest combo of food I eat are apples, oranges, lemons, pickles, and kiwi all cut up and put in pickle juice, with sour Kool Aid over it…very sour and very yummy.



That was a normal treat for me and my sisters growing up, I thought many people ate it, but soon found out that they don’t, and most people look disgusted out by it.

Jackie - posted on 12/06/2010

alligator, for sure

Cathy - posted on 12/06/2010

I guess Hog's pudding would seem really strange and gross to most of you, but it's pretty common here.

I ate a ranch flavored cricket once to win a prize at a party, lol. And my first pregnancy I ate cauliflower dipped in butterscotch pudding, and chocolate chip cookies dipped in applesauce.
