I think sparkplug has the market cornered on weird food, I'm not a big fan of experimenting too much though.

I guess I am just a weirdo. I would think that others on MUD would have eaten some weird stuff. Maybe they are just not fans of Noah and don't come into this section. I really don't blame them, just Noah.

The guy I ate the python with said it didn't taste like rattlesnake. I asked him, thinking they would have tasted the same.

Goat can be hit or miss. In the Caribean, I had some great goat curry. In the US, I had some Indian goat cuisine, and man, I had to hit the can pronto. It felt like I was blowing out the goat horns, too!

Now, I just pass on the goat.

Goat is some good stuff. In Mexico it is more expensive than tenderloin. I love goat milk too(no one get any funny ideas).

I am telling you it was awesome. Granted I was heavily intoxicated at the time, I was licking my fingers it was so good.

Nothing as exotic as Sparkplug, the common unusual N.American hunting fare like squirrel, coon, possum.. Have yet to have any wild game I didn't like...

Oddest would probably be a jar of pickled deer heart given to us by a old farmer's wife... Like anything else pickled it taste like it, a very sweet pickling, very odd consistency tho compared to other meat....

I'd say that is pretty exotic. I have seen cow hearts for sale in grocery stores but never bought one because I didn't know how to cook it. What did that marsupial taste like?

I honestly don't remember, just another meat really, been to a couple of wild game feeds with those less common items among all the other game. Gotta try it imo..
 
I ate at Taco Bell last week. That was strange as all hell.

I agree. I'll try anything more or less. Eating the same thing day in and day out is boring. Why eat the same thing all the time when there are tons of critters out there?

Guinea Pig (cuy) rocks. Its usally roasted or baked stuffed with herbs or basted in a peanut-type sauce. The ones I ate while in Peru were never fried like that, and generally had the head removed. But you could always tell when you got the one you had stepped on a few weeks previous and broken it's leg as it was crooked when on your plate (raised running around on the floor). A full one is a delicacy as they take ~8-9 months to get big enough to eat. They are usually split between two people. The bones are halfway between fish and chicken. Some people crunch them down. Just paws and a spine left over. I didn't. Meat was pretty tasty. :cheers:

That sounds pretty good. I do have a pet shop about 2 miles from my house.:hhmm:

LOL

You said before that a bat should taste like sh*t. Think about a dove or a quail, they taste awesome and not much different in design. Like my title says "taboo", it is all in your mind (and your stomach for about 14 hours).:D

I know Crazy has eaten some weird stuff. Why don't you post up?

Edit: Food stamps can't buy you weird food.:flipoff2:
 
About the only thing on the list I've tried was turtle egg.. I was in Nicaragua, and met some locals who served it in a shot glass with lime and hotsauce, and several other ingredients I can't remember.. It was GREAT!

Don't get me wrong I would certainly try the different things like you have tried. I simply am usually not in that predictament where they serve such weirdness.

Turtle eggs are great and don't feel bad like you are killing off the species. Most $$ for paying for the eggs are going towards the park ranges salary to protect them. The Pacific coast in that area has so many eggs that the black sand that the eggs incubate in are solid white because of the number of turtles laying eggs are digging holes that uncover previously laid eggs. So, the black (lava) sand beaches are turned white because of so many egg laying turtles using the same beach. It is either you, buzzards, sea birds, iguanas, etc.......and you are the only paying costumer. Bottoms up.

Only thing I can add is horse meat, which is not that exotic and tastes a lot like beef.

Did not McDonalds get busted back in the 80's for selling horse meat used for quarter pounders with cheese? I remember some food chain getting busted but can't remember which one.

it was Jack in the Box and it was Kangaroo meat...

You are correct. Now I remember........long time ago. I can still remember being on Kangaroo Island back in 96' and trying to exterminate those bastards. I rode around in a 70 series pickup with an old farmer shooting them with a 22. I had a hard on at the time but not for the kangaroos, that 70 series was sweet. We would catch lobster at the end of the day and enjoy them at the ranch with about 12 Australian ranch hands. When they first saw this coon ass sucking the heads of the lobsters they thought I was crazy. By the end of the week the Australians and I were all fighting for the fat/guts in the heads. Ground up kangaroo meat taste just like beef to me after a few XXXX beers.
 
I had crocodile in Hong Kong. It was very white meat. It reminded me a bit of abalone. Yummy, for sure.

I've had abalone alive with Tabasco. It kinda fights back when you chew it.

While abalone diving, I've had fresh live uni, sea urchin roe. It's about like any caviar.
