demonfairy: When i was young i spent the night with a friend.Her mother fixed us brains&eggs scrambled...I liked it,but she didn't tell me that i was eating pig brains and eggs till after wards.... What is the strangest food you have eaten?






If you asked my daughter, she would probably say I grossed her out the most by eating a live, raw crab, with the shell and all.
I eat raw fish, and sea urchins.
Those are all delicacies in Hawaii.

I also eat ants.

Mary Poppins.

The grossest thing I think I ever ate, was chitterlings; pig's intestines.

chitterlings have to be washed with salt and vinegar then boiled with anions and black paper ... finally barbecue ... and nothing can compare to that delicacy

I would like to try grubs.

I wish I knew somebody who could teach me how to cook them.

Quite often in survival situations, people won't eat food that's available, until they are too weak for it to matter.

I try to develop a taste for things that seem gross; but, could save my life in an emergency.

Most people on here would probably pass on Filipino delicacies such as Balut (Chicken egg, but with a partially formed embryo inside). I tried it - it wasn't too bad. I think some of the best Durian comes from the Philippines too.

Not sure what's the strangest thing I've eaten is. I've become a bit blasé about eating insects, grubs, ant eggs, snake, sea cucumber, or whatever else I find in Asia. But some people on here probably even consider sushami (raw tuna) a strange food.

It was in New Zealand that I ate "braun". Which contains brains, and all the other bits from the head of the animal we don't normally eat.

ladyfingers: not brains, that's for sure. i thought squid was pretty awful, like chewing on a rubber eraser.


Squid is hardly exotic or strange, but it has to be cooked right. First time I tried it was from an English chip shop, and I thought you could probably make car tires out of it. But when tried it next in former Yugoslavia, cooked in a Mediterranean way - it was wonderful.

What I've always wanted to try is the Korean octopus that is sliced and eaten while alive.
