    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 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.

    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..

    I've been here for several years now and I didn't know people had sig lines here.

    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.

    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.

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

    Desperate Dan style. Delish

    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.
