Well i guess strangest food we have in Poland are all kinds of fermented vegatables, mainly cucumbers and cabbage.Also fermented milk, and all kinds of fermented and semi fermented stuff. I know some people in less devloped areas are eating shrooms that are considered hamrfull, never tried it myself though.

So realy nothing to talk about considering heavy guns some of You guys are bringing to table.

Crickets, which tasted of teriyaki and were apparently eaten in Japan to get calcium, as they traditionally don't drink cow's milk. Yum. Actually not bad, though the texture was a bit off. And getting those legs stuck between your teeth was a pain.

Worst thing is natto, fermented soy beans. It's like alien eggs wrapped in mucus smelling of athlete's foot. Blech.

Ostrich was kinda nice

Carp fried in a way that its head still moves while the lower body is 100% cooked.

When I was a little kid, I ate the roots of a cactus (not the plant itself), and some earth to go with it. I don't remember how it tasted, but apparently it caused more harm to the poor thing than it did to me...

I made it (I don't think I actually had any problems at all, really), unlike the subject of my appetite

I suppose the most weird thing would be moose tongue with some kind of mustard.
Wouldn't really recommend it

I've had intestines (alright, but I didn't really like the texture.) and Ostrich (in a burger from a farmer's market in England. That was delicious.)

Ostrich is really great meat. The only two times I've had it were in southern China, at an American restaurant surprisingly. Ostrich steaks, it's like white meat and red meat in one dish the taste is exquisite. Other than that I like to eat steamed cow intestines (tripe) as well. My favorite strange food has to be de-boned duck feet that are softened up in some kind of solution and served cold with some green onion. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I don't know the name at all.

I've also had snake, rabbit, sea cucumber, octopus, and pigeon. Half cantonese lol.

Sadly, this is probably true, lol.

I've eaten really really fresh and raw seafood in Jeju, Korea.

The sashimi was excellent. You could tell it'd just been pulled from the tank and that it had been caught very, very recently.

The sea slugs and mussels still moving on the plate, though, not so much. I couldn't handle that and didn't eat it. Our tour guide called me a bitch, rofl.

i have actually heard that sashimi is best eaten 3 days after it is being caught. so the ones you are eating are probably a few days old kept in a special type of freezer.

It's not current to eat rabbits or pigeons in USA (i dont speak about pigeons from cities of course, but about well fed pigeons, born in nature) ??

I start to eat these animals when a very young boy. Very common in France. I thought it was common in other countries.

Btw, i've eaten Ostrich(very good), bison (good too), kangooroo(i realy dont like it...maybe a bad cooking that make me feel like it, or i drunk too much the day i tasted it...), crocodile steak (very tender, i love it)

Of course, i'm french, so...i use to eat some weird things for u, but very common for me : snails, frog's legs, many sorts of mushrooms, tartar steak, salmon's tartar, pig's feets, pig's ear's, cow's tongue, cow's and veal's liver,...

From what I know you aren't supposed to freeze the fish - it ruins the texture and the colour.
When we have sashimi at home it's usually 6-30 hours dead depending on how locally it was caught - living next to a fishing port is good.

The weirdest thing I really enjoy would be grilled eel.

Weirdest things I've tried: fresh-caught rabbit, cow tongue, some kind of blood cake, a "chocolate cheeseburger", baby octopus (cooked until rubber blegh), a few random plants that grew near my first school and had sweet nectar or stems (and were known to be non-poisonous).

I didn't realise ostrich seemed so weird to people. It's a bit like lean steak. Pidgeons are quite like quails iirc, it's been a few years but I had some when we went to visit my grandmother once.
