    It was interesting, not so much chicken as salmon fishcake, I liked it, didn't love it.

    What strange foods have you had recently?

    I bet that had a bit of bite to it.


    For the holidays, our family makes chitlins which I imagine others may find strange.

    Are they breadcrumbed giblets? If so they are amazing - turkey liver is tasty!!

    I had Elk a few weeks ago. Yum.

    I can just imagine a Faulty Towers sketch where Manuel introduces the main course as rat only for Basil to step in and suggest rattlesnake.

    I had some supermarket beef for dinner, so horse I guess.

    Love Elk. Strangely hard to find here despite Elk all over the place.

    Hmmm. Is it like tripe (Menudo?) or Sweetbreads?

    Where are you based Mad to be eating such cuisine? Arizona somewhere, my US geography isn't good enough to tell by your location, 500 and something miles from Vegas. :D

    Check the licence plate and ask yourself if there might be two towns called Las Vegas.

    Sig is a massive clue too..

    My uncle ate monkey brains. They cut open the skull and ate it. He was on business in Asia and it was a delicacy apparently. Dunno how he did it.

    I was in a Italian/Vietnamese restaurant last week and i ordered this really strange sounding thing

    'Entrees'

    They must have been out of them, I never got it.

    Barbecued scorpions on a stick last week, was fairly bad to be honest. Had some snail's yesterday at a buffet restaurant, they were quite nice.
    Have tried some awfully weird shyte here.

    Madsl is actually George Noory from the coast to coast network in Las Vegas nevada. I thought you all knew this already. Yeah, he has a good radio station network and affiliates, so now you know who he is. ;)

    Chicken feet and donkey meet, both were alright actually.

    I ate a pigs earhole, eye hole and arsehole wrapped in pastry.

    Topaz sell them in Ireland. They call em 'sausage rolls'. Vile So they are. :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    Deep fried tarantulas, legs were crispy, body was a bit dry and powdery. Not very filling, OK as a snack.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,976 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    Cow Pie. Complete with bull horns protruding from the crust.

    Desperate Dan style. Delish


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,213 ✭✭✭was.deevey


    Balut - Basically boiled duck egg complete with 70% formed duck inside, although you can order older ones complete with crunchy bones). Tastes good but only eat it in the dark :p

    Fried Pig Intestines are a pretty regular pub snack along with Sisig - sizzling pigs ears mushed up with egg and chili sauce (pretty darn tasty!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,933 ✭✭✭smurgen


    had horse,that's about it.like beef but slightly tougher. my dad ate rat,snake and dog in China. He said dog was the worst and he was sick as a dog after it. It's meant to be greasy meat kind of like duck.

    Sorry, but I reckon you're uncle is winding you up.

    Urban legend that, no pictures exist of such a dish ever being served up. Brain is eaten is every meat based culture on the planet in various forms (including ours), but eating out of the skull is a scene straight out of Indiana Jones and a couple of other films.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1


    Once ate at a South African style brai party. Some delicious and not so delicious barbequed meat was had.

    @Links, nowt wrong with an occasional spice burger :P

    Had a kangaroo burger in the Belfast Christmas market last week. Quite tasty, but also very chewy and stringy.

    Will have Springbok there sometime this week.

    I think you could be wrong there ( would not bet on it though:pac:) As far as I know , it involves a live monkey, chained beneath a table with a hole for the top of the skull to poke thru, top of skull is sliced off, hot oil poured in which cooks the brain, and is eaten while the monkey is still (barely) alive.

    Dog Soup
    Live octopus
    Countless other seafood that I'd rather forget
    Every disgusting part of a pig. Even thinking of BBQing the pig stomach makes me want to vomit.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭pharmaton


    fúck you AH and your food threads, I had branflakes for breakfast four hours ago and I'm starving now. Going to go and check out the Christmas market and buy lots of foreign food items I can't pronounce and some baklava


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 378 ✭✭ConFurioso


    Raw chicken, horse and octopus. The chicken was seared on the outside and the octopus was in a sushi roll.

    I'm well aware of the scene. He has pictures of it.

    Guinea Ping in Ecuador/Peru.

    'Gator in Florida.

    Snails in France.

    various insects (usually fried or dry roasted) in a few different countries.

    Part cooked chicken? very dodgy, no? Where was this?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,925 ✭✭✭✭anncoates


    Had gator in New Orleans before.

    Didn't like it much.

    Also couldn't get it out of my mind that I was eating gator which didn't help.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,094 ✭✭✭wretcheddomain


    Crocodile burger...

    ...would recommend it too! Pity about the price they sell it for...
