I won't eat raw oyster anymore as I once had a bout of food poisoning from them; which was a shame, as I love the texture. I now have them baked or fried which isn't the same.

Basically, I'll try anything once. I've had and enjoyed

Raw horse
Raw goat
Pig's ear
Frog's legs
Sea cucumber
Sea urchin
Squid guts
Fugu (poisonous if not cooked right)
Eel
Haggis
Whale (in burger, salted and fillet)
Wood pigeon
Jellyfish
Octopus
Seaweed (various sorts)
Cow's knees
Shark's lips
Rabbit curry
Duck hearts
Chicken legs
Duck tongues

and so many others... not enough time in the world to try all...

Raw horse or you mean the deli braesola that's made from horsemeat in Northern Italy - pork elsewhere in the world it seems - that is divine - lovely spicy dark meat. Cooked horsemeat is lovely too - with a nice bit of pasta. I always make a point of finding a nice horsemeat dish when I'm over there. A couple of things on that list I want to try! Particularly whale - I'd love to try that. Shark too.
Frog's legs are lovely - I've eaten that and snails in Dublin.

I thought I'd eat anything until I went to China. Beef spinal cord was the worst thing I saw in a Hong Kong supermarket, rural chinese markets were pretty foul, any animal "with it's back to the sun" is considered edible.

There is a dish called Hainanese Chicken where a chicken breast is cooked VERY rare, it's quite nice but the almost raw chicken goes against everything we're taught over here and I found it impossible to finish. I am assured however that there is no salmonella risk because the chicken is butchered just before it is used, so unlike here (where a chicken can be sold as fit to eat up to 21 days after slaughter) there is insufficient time for the salmonella to grow to a dangerous level.

Any fish besides Donegal catch...

That's actually horrific.

Perhaps - But I reckon its no more horrific than the ingredients found in most processed foods.

I'd have the ortolan before I'd have a chicken nugget from a fast food restaurant.

Lobster. Now you cant tell me there's enough meat in dem claws to constitute a decent meal..Am I right?

Is that metabolically (or whatever) possible? If it is you have settled a debate going back a few years regarding Ouzo and Black.

Durian, once you've tasted it you will wish you hadn't! Imagine rotten socks and burnt onions rolled into one! Not Nice!

I've never had peanut butter. It just doesn't sound right

You know there's no butter in it? Just crushed peanuts which create their own oil?

Butternut Squash
Pumpkin
Passion Fruit
Monkfish

Four of the yummiest foods! Especially monkfish, one of the nicest fish of all.

I haven't had oysters, or caviar, or snails. I'll eat most things though.

thalia_13

Never eaten, ( nor would want to) : frogs legs, snails, any domestic pet, or insects...
No interest in foie gras or caviar,

Have yet to try crab, shark and lobster, only ate prawns for first time this year and really wonder why I had such a bad impression of them? They are tasty!

Have eaten most game birds and animals, goat, tongue and nearly all cuts of offal, thanks to my Granny... She nearly beat me out of the kitchen when I turned vegetarian in my teens!

I've never had scollops. What do they taste like ?

Firm meaty flesh, but a delicate taste. Good with creamy sauces. Delicious!

It was horse sashimi, had it in Tokyo. Not spectacular but not offensive, either. Whale I had in Norway, the nicest was 2 fillets - it was so tasty and for someone who can't eat cow - it was a marvellous substitute. However, I did feel guilty - had spent years arguing with the missus about whaling and here I was, chowing down on a mammal

Had snails in garlic and butter, that was melt in your mouth. MMm.

That's one of the things that I love about it, the way it looks - the bright, fresh colours. And when you taste it - oh, the texture, the melty, mushy, gently meaty mastications. Mmmm.

One of the few foods I can orgasm about

Try a fish pie, all mixed up with pastry & sauce. Even if you don't like the look of fried/poached fish on its own you might enjoy that.

When I was a kid, having watched way too much American television I tried making my own version of this US sandwich delicacy with strawberry jam & crunchy peanut butter. Probably one of the worst things I've ever made, managed about two bites & gave up, just tastes wrong for some reason. Americans, like many countries have foods that you really have to be brought up in their culture to enjoy eating (Vegemite would be the Australian equivalent). Note the mass outpouring of grief across the pond in recent months at the passing of the Hostess company who sold horribly sweet little balls of toxic waste masquerading as snacks of various kinds. Tried a few of them when in the States a few years ago & found them disgusting but plenty of people there adored them.
