After reading the post on "chicken feet" I wondered have any of you Cuties have tried anything as weird as this . I for one could not eat a chickens foot !! or a frog !

The worst thing I ate was octopus in Italy probably because I did not know what I was eating at the time and the fact that I was eating the same octopus that i admired an hour before in its tank !! I was horrified knowing this info !
please share yours ;-) Karma

Sorry friends I am the worst eater in town
I wont even try anything if I dont like the look of it.. this drives my hubby mad :-)
I think my problem is Im sick very easily I can smell milk when its about to turn..and then Im off lol
but the worse for me was when my now 19 year daughter at the age of 1, ate my friends cat food and asked for more.. I was so sick I could not eat anything or change her nappy for days..
even thinking about it now my mouth is starting to water.. I am so mad
big hugs - Mooie xx

Oh this is a good one. I was brought up being offered a wide selection of food. I remember sheeps head broth, pigs heads, pigs trotters (feet), brains, sweetbreads, tongue. The first time I was given straw mushrooms I thought they were eyeballs. I dont like tripe, my mum and her parents LOVED it and I seem to remember them eating gallons of the stuff. Some of you might think my selection is unusual but I am reading about some foods I have never thought of eating.

Well i'm from Canada and yes i have eaten our national animal the beaver and the moose. My grandfather was a trapper and i had no idea until i got older and moved to the city that is was not normal to eat all these wild animals... oooooooo well. They tasted good then and back then we didn't ask " whats for dinner". We just ate what was on our plate and said thank you.

Chocolate covered ants, beef tounge, calamari (squid), eel, porcupine, moose, deer (this Calif. girl now lives in Canada)squirel, rabbit and rattle snake.

Ostrich meat is very common in South Africa, much healther than other red meat, less fat.

I loved Japanese food but didnot enjoy the raw egg with noodles and wasabi. I like raw egg as mayonnaise... I didnot like the texture of the egg white but I ate it

Kangaroo, escargot (snails) and some weird fruit from the tropics that I can't remember the name of.

I think we are the only country in the world that eats our national animals which are on our coat of arms. Eg Kangaroo and Emu!

So is it true about Kangaroo Chris... everything tastes like chicken? ha ha

pennifold by pennifold 27 Apr 2010

Hi Teri,

Kangaroo is actually a very lean red meat. Tastes great, just like steak.

Love Chris - by the way love your new avatar Rose.

I have eaten squirrel, frog legs, chocolate covered ants, and beef tongue is delicious! When I was a kid my Dad loved brains and eggs! I don't think I was ever brave enough to try that though.

joann13100 by joann13100 27 Apr 2010

When I was growing up, for family events we would frequently have bratwurst and beef tongue sandwiches. That was a legacy of my German/Czech ancestry.
