What is the strangest, most exotic thing you have ever eaten?


Mine is probably alligator. Having said that, I have also accidentally eaten bird feces when I was a child because I mistakenly believed it was Chicken Kiev sauce: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_Kiev

Moose.

Pretty tame food experiences here.

I guess squid, goat, frog's legs, snails. Had to kill a rabbit and eat it during basic training in the military. They put this fluffy, happy little thing in your lap and let you pet it for about 20 minutes. Then when you've bonded they hit you with the news you've got to kill it with your bare hands, cook it and eat it. And you have to kill your own rabbit - no swapping. Every single guy balked, almost pleaded not to. But you had to.

reply

Damn, that's some cold shit regarding the rabbit. How were you expected to kill it? Strangulation?

What was snail like?

reply

Snails are like butter and garlic flavored skateboard bushings.

reply

I once ate snails in garlic butter. The taste was delicious but I was not a fan of the texture which was a little rubbery and slimy.

Nothing exotic, ever! I am truly squeamish about food. I'd have to be literally starving to death to go outside my comfort zone and eat something odd.

The bunny story would have ruined me! I mean, they would have given me a discharge, dishonorable or whatever, because I would not have been able to do it.

reply

It was really hard. Not many dry eyes. To make it even worse they made sure that we'd already eaten well. It's one thing to kill a random animal when you're hungry; it's another to kill one you've bonded with when you're not hungry at all.

reply

Oh that makes me want to cry just thinking about it. I am a true hypocrite in that I eat hamburger and chicken, but I could never kill my own food.

I've often said, only half joking, that if I was a pioneer, I'd be a vegetarian. I'm squeamish. I don't even like overcooked noodles or spaghetti. Too mushy.

Lucille Ball used to raise chickens on her ranch when she was married to Desi Arnaz. When the chickens get old and stop laying, you sell them for poultry. But Lucy couldn't bring herself to do it. It was like she ran a retirement home for hens. They said she had the oldest chickens!

reply

Break its neck. Funny, every single guy there could have killed someone else's rabbit no problem, but killing your own was hard. The snails were in garlic butter. Very nice but as someone else has said, the texture was very rubbery.

reply

How was the alligator cooked, and did you like it?

reply

Rattlesnake. I caught a four foot long rattlesnake when I was a young teen. I gutted it, skinned it then grilled it on a gas grill. It was tasty. It tasted just like chicken but was very chewy.

Youโ€™re braver than me man, Iโ€™d only try the horse, Croc and โ€˜Roo.

Was the horse tough or was it in a stew?

reply

The horse was served as a steak and was unmemorable.
