Post by: sgluckadoo on June 20, 2013, 07:10:15 pm
What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten?

I would have to say frog legs.

I have eaten tripe (cow tongue), and I wasn't particularly crazy about it.  I don't eat chitterlings (hog intestines); I take that back; I ate them twice; I was 9 and tasted one; it looked like a piece of wrinkled brain and tasted even worse.  I had a girlfriend in Chicago that cooked 60 pounds of those disgusting things and she invited me to Thanksgiving dinner, so I told her I would eat one.  It took me an hour, and after I got tired of looking at it, I mixed it with some of my dressing and ate it.  I am not fond of them and never will be.  That is why I couldn't bring myself to eat some of the things my late grandmother ate; she ate rabbits and turtles.  Yukky!! :wave: :wave: :thumbsup:

I once ate turtle burgers, on a cruise where we stopped at an island.  When I was small my one grandmother made pig's stomach.  ???

I don't think I've really eaten anything that weird. I know I have tried just about every meat there is since I have traveled all over the world. Guinea pig?

I didn't know I ate raccoon, until they told me.

I didn't know I ate raccoon, until they told me.

Two questions:
1- what did you do when they told you?
2- what did it taste like?

Probably mine was eating cow stomach.  My mom used to sponsor Hmong immigrants to our area years ago, so our family was frequently invited to parties.  After eating one of the spicy meat dishes we asked what it was and were told it was cow stomach.  Was like eating a rubber band with beef stuck to it.  Wasn't a favorite of mine.

Cow stomach....it was a Hmong dish.  It tasted ok, I guess, because I didn't know what it was until after I was done!

Maybe not a big thing to others, but I would say snake skin was different for me (at least knowing where this came from). One thing that seemed interesting, but something I probably wouldn't want to try is really live sushi. I've seen a Youtube clip once of a live fish being cut in half and the fish is still moving (and supposedly alive) while the person is eating the rest of the fish.

When I was a kid I had rattlesnake and bear steak at my aunt and uncle's house.  He was a taxidermist so they had some really different things to eat.

sorry, but tripe is not cow tongue, cow tongue is cow tongue, tripe is made from the first three chambers of a ruminants (cow, deer, goat, sheep, etc.) stomach. not trying to be an *bleep* , just pointing it out

I had alligator once-- They have it at a local BBQ joint in the Northeast, believe it or not! It does taste a bit like chicken, just chewier. It wasn't awful, but it's probably not something I'd try again.
