Did you really eat that ???

My Weirdest?

Well, I'd have to break it down into two categories: Weirdest food at a restaurant, and Weirdest food on my own.

In a restaurant. About 10 years ago, I went to some horribly trendy/pretentious place in Chicago. There, I ordered the grilled sting ray. It was light and very flaky and surprisingly little taste to it. Given the choice, I'd much rather eat shark (one of my faves). That was the only time I saw sting ray on a menu, but I don't eat out a lot. I've eaten other stuff like conch, shark, turtle, alligator, frog's legs, squid, etc. But you can find those on a lot of restaurant menus.

On my own? Definitely a live cicada. Every 17 years they come out. Back in 1990, after my freshman year in college, I was dared by a bunch of friends to eat one live. After $100 was thrown in, I did it. Please note, that there was a significant amount of alcohol involved, plus the money. Because I didn't want a cicada flying around in my mouth, I quickly bit off the head and then tossed the rest in my mouth. It was crunchy, bland, then kind of gooey. It wasn't awful, but I wouldn't do it again unless I had too. This all came up because I told them about the time in high school that I ate a huge live moth for $20. The moth was nothing. It practically went to dust right away, although I was picking moth bits out of my mouth for the rest of the day.

I regularly eat blood Kishka...
At least once every few months-- mostly on the Holidays.
I guess you had to be brought up on it to like it.

The worst rabbit I ever ate still had lead shot in it.

I'm not too partial to the really `out there` stuff, but have eaten shark in Australia.
Squid (prefer rings over the small `one bite` whole squid).
Black pudding (dried pigs blood).
Haggis.
A small stone.
Roll mop herring (horrible).
Swordfish steak.
Foie gras (ducks liver pate)(horrible).

Don't you guys eat fish n' chips all the time over there?

I know curry seems to be the norm there as well thanks to your Indian immigrants.

What's the strangest thing that you have (knowingly) eaten ?
(I know that we supposedly eat approx 8 spiders a year when we sleep)
But of the Strange food that you know you ate how did it taste ?

I once had some Shark...It was nice
I also had some Octopus & Squid...not that good
I once swallowed a piece of chewing gum...I thought I was going to DIE.
Well I was only 8years old at the time.
