I've done the Rocky Mountain Oysters a number of times - loved em.

Pretty much EVERYTHING from the ocean.

I've eaten "Balut" which is boiled duck inside the egg - fertilized and cooked just before hatching - the skulls crunching in my mouth made me feel bad... :laugh:

I have had what was probably dog and cat at different times.

I've traveled all over for various reasons in my life and always been willing to try whatever the "locals" were having so I've consumed quite a bit of oddness I'm sure.

Beetles, worms, grubs, raw frog legs and even a live horned toad have been down the old gullet. I chewed the horned toad before swallowing. Took almost a whole canteen of water to get it down though cuz the skin kept stickin in my throat... :laugh:

What kinds of things have you eaten that others might find weird?

Goat sheep and cow intestines, that's about it. :whistle:
Oh, and stewed whitefish livers.

Raw squid; as in just butchered, is a amusement park for your mouth.

Not raw and not that strange, but I just had grilled octopus for lunch.

I always LOVED tripe when I was growing up and haven't had it now in years. We owned a grocery store and meat market where I grew up learning to be a butcher. My grandfather always had at least 1 five gallon barrel of pickled tripe in the "walk-in box" and we'd slip in once in a while and cut some off to eat.

I've had it a few different ways cooked but my favorite and actually the only one I remember right now is dipped in eggs and fried...mmmm Tripe is good stuff.

I've eaten pretty much everything from the ocean and one thing that I always looked forward to when I had boats was getting into some tuna or mahi mahi. Once the action would die down, I would break out the soy sauce, cut me off some "can't get ANY fresher than this" sushi and feast myself simple for a little while... It's tough to beat fresh tuna "off the hoof" when you are offshore... :thumbs:

"I've done the Rocky Mountain Oysters a number of times - loved em."

Nothin odd or crazy about nuts, for me anyway. :drool: They are almost in season here!

I've always been a little conservative when it comes to my food but I did make a snack of some bugs one evening. It was during one of those rotations in the ranger bat where they only give you one C-rat a day and don't let you stop moving except for a four hour "personal time". I flopped down on a little high spot in the Georgia swamp for my break and started feeling what I assumed to be ants crawling on me, I never actually saw them. They weren't the biting kind so I pulled up my pant legs and swept them up with my hand when I'd feel a bunch of them, down the hatch they went. They had an almost citrus bite to them. Damn I was hungry......
