| I too love chicken feet. Just takes so long to eat such a small amount of food. What are some of your favorites?

| I also love crawfish...also another food that takes a lot of effort for a small amount of food. Love sashimi, balut, tongue tacos, crispy fried intestines, pork feet. That's the strangest foods that I can think of that I've eaten so far.

I grew up eating Balut so I love them, I think it's an acquired taste and a lot of people can't get pass the thought that it's a developing baby chicken/duck that they are eating.

| Hubby reminded me that I've also had: pigeon (tasted like tuna, which was surprising to me!) calamari sting ray wing (so bland, don't bother) oh, and some other things but he's not here to ask now and my mind is so fleeting! |

I've also had rabbit. It is a hugely common dish in Italy and Malta. I find it very oily and then, of course, they add olive oil. I'm not a huge fan of rabbit or duck for that reason. What was bear meat like? Was it steak or ground? I'm not sure I knew that bear was eaten! | |

I have travelled a fair bit but I have not been to Africa and I have no plans on ever going to Africa. As an insurance agent who dealt with insurance claims, most of those involving Africa were ransom related so I'm not willing to go! In the UK (not sure about US - I haven't lived there since 2002), there are websites which allow you to buy "exotic meats". These were brought to our attention during a food fair where a stall had all sorts of things to try. I have wanted to try ostrich burgers but I haven't found another food fair with the particular stand of interest and I'm not brave enough to order it online as I don't really know what to do with it as far as cooking. I didn't know that quail eggs had cholesterol in such a high proportion! Luckily, I have only ever eaten them once. I'm not a huge fan of eggs, anyway, but it was something new to try. My MIL told me that when you cook tripe, it smells your whole house up and that it is often slimy but she loves it with onion. She went into some more detail, which I can't remember off the top of my head, but it has been ingrained somewhere subconsciously as "don't go there"...lol | |

| I would love to try some of the things listed. I like to try new things. You can easily tell I'm not from the coast with my list beef tongue beef/pork brains pig's feet Escargo (snails) Crawdads (crawfish) mountain oysters snapping turtle (never again!) pickled eggs wild mushrooms (lol) cactus And I agree, I think sushi looks like art.

| I've had stingray wing also, well similar, skate wing. I bought it at a Korean market already cooked, and they had it with a lot of chili and it was really good. The texture was almost like crab. I keep forgetting about skate wing when I want my crab fix. Much cheaper.

As for tripe, I've never cooked it yet at my house. Maybe I will try to make homemade menudo, but I guess doesn't everything you cook smell up the whole house? Just if it smells good to everyone it's not a problem. LOL Quote:
What didn't you like about turtle? I love pickled eggs. I should make some more soon. I also love a good nopales salad, never had it fresh though, always from a jar. Can't believe you ate wild mushrooms! OMG scary!

I don't know what it was about the turtle. Not the taste necessarily. I really love turtles and it bothered me to eat it. As for the wild mushrooms, they grow here along sandy creek and river beds and they have "seasons." You definitely want to go mushroom hunting with someone who knows what they're looking for. But, they are very very good!

| One year I found tons of morel mushrooms growing all over the place in my yard. My brother told me he eats them from his yard and they are delicious. If I remember correctly, he told me to soak them in salt water to get the ltitle critters to come out. I was afraid to eat them and let them shrivel up on my counter. I threw them out. I have heard they are wonderful though. I have never seen them again after that year. I am not very adventurous when it comes to food. My mom cooked cows tongue when we were kids. I did like that but can live without it now. Lol

Just thought of another strange food item. It's called nem (vietnamese pork sausage)..its grounded raw pork with pork skin, pickled thai chili and garlic...a powder is added to it for it to "cook" (cured)....My mom used to make this for vietnamese new year...it is so good. It can be made with beef also but I like the pork version.
