I have eaten both pigs blood and balut. I am filipino what do you expect?

as far as the pig's blood goes, it tasted alright but I don't know if it was that or something else in the soup I was eating but I had major diarrhea afterwards.

No way, ostrich is red meat. It doesn't taste like chicken at all...

I tried snake, duck blood (similar to the pork blood OP described), jellyfish, sea cucumber.

Weirdest stuff I tried was caterpillar fungus (冬虫草). It's kind of fungus that lives in the ground. It can infect big caterpillars, germinate in them, kill and mummify them. Then it grows out of the body of the mummified caterpillar.


Sea cucumbers are a bitch to cook and fairly expensive.

edit: IIRC, its flavorless too.

Caterpillar fungus costs like 10 times as expensive as sea cucumber. I never had to cook sea cucumbers, I only force my self to eat them because they're expensive and wasting them would be an offense to the person who offered it to me. You're right, it's tasteless, but the texture is awful.

Weirdest food I've eaten is either...Sea Urchin, Jellyfish(you eat the tentacles, they're boiled generally), or...maybe goat I guess? Also, woo first post and it has nothing to do with Starcraft..!

That's quite a resume right there! How are scorpions prepared? Fried?

I've eaten frog (which I hear isn't so uncommon in certain countries). I've eaten pickled pigs feet on a dare. I've also eaten rattlesnake (caught, killed, and cleaned on the spot), and I suppose crawdads are kind of a rarity depending on where you live. I actually remember eating a lot of crawdads on camp-outs—boiled over a fire in a Coke can with the top cut off. But they're much tastier when they're done up right in of those huge-ass pots with potatoes and corn and spices and whatnot.

If it were not so, I would have told you.

The weirdest I've ever eaten is probably horse and cuttlefish sashimi. The cuttlefish was so fresh it's skin was still shimmering and changing colour.

Anyone want to tell me what is the flavor and texture of sea urchin similar to? Never tried it myself, since I dont really fancy raw seafood and such. I dont even like sashimi or most sushi. :/

If it's fresh is very rich and creamy. I can't think of anything that tastes similar to it though...

I love sashimi and just about everything. I really don't like Sea Urchin and it's about the only food I don't like. It's like eating a cold wet sponge that is incredibly soft. You can almost drink it.

Blood dishes shouldnt be all that weird for people. I mean black pudding is pretty much a worldwide dish in a couple different forms. Haggis is probably something most people would consider weird as well though.

When I had it it was like that but it's got a very sweet taste to it. Almost like..maple syrup mixed with oyster..sort of? I love almost all foods too and I have to say I was kind of surprised by how much I disliked it considering what a delicacy it's considered to be. Kinda dissapointing. =/

A peep. Even at the molecular level, doesn't resemble the chemical make-up of food.

Raw herring, which is custom in Denmark. Cow tongue as well, but otherwise I'm really kind of a pussy when it comes to strange foods. I had plenty of chances in Bali, but I always pussied out.

I really couldn't eat that fish thing like that.

No way. I mean, if I'm dying of hunger, that's a different story but I'd rather walk down the street and buy some chicken McNuggets. (Even if the nuggets are unhealthier with chemicals... at least there's no twitching head)

Sea cucumbers,pig blood,chicken blood,pig intestine,pig stomach,pig liver,chicken liver,chicken gizzard,Pig ear,Pig crispy skin,Chicken feet

Proud to be chinese :D All tasted good to me tbh,if cooked right.

That doesnt even scratch the list of "wierd" stuff that is somewhat normal cuisine in Chinese food.
My Mum remembered eating snakes,armadillos,weasels,monkey brains,lizards etc lol.My mum said her father would just catch these creatures at the road side.Not that I will EVER eat them

disgusting ewww

My experience is fairly tame compared to most other responses in this thread, but I've eaten and enjoyed caramelized and chocolate covered grasshoppers. Absolutely delicious with the strangest texture that goes along really well with the candied exterior.

Basically it's kind of similar to the crunch you get with those Reese's sticks...
