    Never had caviar. Had sardines for the first time a few weeks ago, my god they are probably the only thing I would never eat again.

    I've had caviar, not crazy about it.
    I've had sardines, love them, and made pate from them a few days ago.
    I love Fois gras!
    I also love barszcz/borsch/borst which is beetroot soup. Yummy!

    Never had blowfish but I will try it.
    Neverhad deepfried scorpion but would also be keen.

    Never had any house pets and dont plan to.

    I made rabbit stew about 6 weeks ago. It was delicious. Very gamey in taste. Think chicken meets venison.

    No wonder I got bullied so much in primary school.

    I used to have sardine sandwiches every day in primary school. Much to the disgust of my classmates.

    You can get a frozen one in I think aldi. Very nice.

    If you like crab, you will like lobster.

    Oh Jesus, surprising to hear of kids liking them!

    I love rabbit and anything game. Pidgeon is surprisingly delicious. Best thing I've ever eaten is crocodile steak. Must get that again soon.

    I'm a strange man and I was a strange kid.

    May I ask, what were the circumstances in which you had them and they were so awful? For me, i either have them fresh off a BBQ in Spain, Portugal, or on the med, or in olive oil from a tin.

    I shoot and so, am not averse to game in any fashion. Snipe on toast is lovely.

    On a pizza from dominos...

    JUst kidding, my dad eats them from a tin so I tasted them! I eat anything and everything, that's the only thing I've had to actually spit out.

    I'm a huge meat lover, game plate...nothing but meat. Absolutely delicious!

    Armin Meiwes would (at least partially) disagree.

    Personally I'd love to try more game. I've had pheasant (nice enough but a tad dry), rabbit, pigeon, hare & guinea fowl a few times. I've heard squirrel is supposed to be really nice too - apparently there's a good few restaurants in England that serve it, never heard of it over here though, maybe they're not as plentiful. Probably the weirdest thing I've eaten is fried crickets, very popular in some parts of Mexico. A few dozen of the little fellas washed down with a decent mezcal is a surprisingly tasty culinary experience!

    Once you've had it local and fresh you'll never go back to that rubber again

    Oh hell yeah! Same as any fish or meat for that matter. Have caught and cooked lots of different fish and the frozen stuff is no comparison. The flavour and texture is so different!

    Fond memories of catching mackerel, gutting them on the spot and popping them on a disposable barbecue on the pier from years back. It's really hard to find anything half so good as fish that fresh.

    big game lover here too. Do a bit of shooting so there's usually pigeon, rabbit or venison somewhere around. Just took out some loin of venison to thaw for new years this evening.

    While there's a few things I've not had that I'd love to try, I really do like trying different foods and am open to lots of ideas so the list is smaller than it might be. :)
