    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!)

    Where was this?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Oh yeah, I also had snails

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Yeah, pretty dodgy. Was is Japan (all three were).

    It was a staff party and they were specifically bought for me and a friend. I ate all the horse and octopus (strong taste, and tyre-like consistence, respectively).

    We both ate one slice of the chicken out of courtesy, but heavily coated on soy sauce and wasabi. Slightly crunchy texture, but no I'll effects. It was a classy joint so I imagine a lot of care was put into making it, but we were still very wary about it.

    Eggs boiled in the urine of young boys.
