I am therefore very much into eating snake and tarantula as soon as I can.

I'm an arachnaphobe and have this weird irrational fear of accidentally eating a spider. I actually feel nauseous typing that. I'm afraid of you.

It was the white asparagus that piqued my interest more so than more exotic items, I think I had it once or twice but not here. Does it have the wonderful side effect of it's green cousin?

Oh that is disappointing to hear. What was wrong with it? Would you generally be an adventerous eater?

KevRossi

Chimpanzee (didn't know what it was at the time)

Baby chicks - deep fried and marinated in lemon juice. You just pick them up and eat them off the bone.

BeerWolf

Raw sea cucumber.

Never again.

Redneck Reject71

And Gila Monster once, but took a lot of Tequila to knock the stink off that lizard,heh.

I do like spicy foods but this was for youtube. We'd (3 of us) eaten a ghost pepper a few weeks prior and I found that to be not that bad so I went into the Reaper a bit too cocky. Lol.

Ghost pepper Scoville rating - 1041427 SHU
Carolina Reaper - 1569300 SHU

According to Google.

Live octopus

Cow tongue is unusual? Growing up in the Continent is very different so.

I had Dog last time I was in China.

Have to say it was really disappointing meat.

Cow tongue definitely not unusual in Ireland, my mother would often prepare it.... Tongue sandwiches were a staple of picnics in my childhood. I recall a butcher off Smithfield square with tongues and oxtails hanging in the window.

Unusual? Possibly whichitty grub (probably not how it's spelt!)

davedonie

Cow tongue, just from local butcher.
Birds nest soup in KL
Pigeon burger in KL

Birds nest soup is fab but pigeon is vile and I wouldn't of eaten it if they told me it was pigeon.

garbanzo

Dried African worms. Awful.

Russian lard. 100% fat. A delicacy apparently.....me balix ,

I wholeheartedly do not recommend either.

I had sea urchin soup in Vietnam. It was actually pretty tasty. Supposed to be an aphrodisiac too.

Agreed. Not very enjoyable. Wrong texture to the meat regardless of the spices thrown on it.

It is considered unusual and a delicatessen where I grew up in Mexico.

padd b1975

Ccarrageen moss pudding.

It looks like a panna cotta, not so much with the taste
