What is the most odd thing you have ever eaten?

Love squid and that looks fresh Len. Where’d you get it?

Asian food store on park street in Madison

Beef tongue, Rocky mountain oysters, pork rind tacos and goat intestine tacos (mexican taco taxi, they were great btw) Rattlesnake, raccoon, woodchuck, pigeon, squirrel, deer heart, eelpout

my gramma’s tuna casserole

We had eaten at a local Asian restaurant in Racine (back in the 70’s). Good food, but hard to distinguish what kind of meat. They were closed down by the health dept for using cats, dogs,….That may explain where all the neighborhood lost pest ended up

Wondering how the Eelpout was and how it was cooked?? I keep hearing it’s great but I’m not sure that the people telling me that aren’t pulling my leg??? I don’t eat too many weird things but maybe Perch eggs??? They were actually very good but you have to get over the texture….

Eelpout was not horrible but after doing a few of them I can say I wont do any more. You get 2 back straps off them and it is not much meat for the size of the fish. They are about 70% beer belly. I just boiled them and dipped in butter, its ok….

I have heard of ppl soaking the meat in 7up or milk then boiling in water. Also heard of boiling in 7up as well. Give it a try, some really like its but just not for me.

As for perch eggs, I tried that too. Fried in butter. To me it was like bland cream of wheat. Thats another that I wont be trying again.

Yeah those are cuttlefish, squid are longer.

Ever try eating catfish livers and eggs? Used to have them every Friday in the spring of the year when I was first married.

Giant rodents in Colombia. -capybara. Delicious cooked on a spit over an open fire!

Baluts

Crow- the black and feathered kind. I eat it figuratively all the time too!!!

Haven’t been able to get myself to try it. But if I had, it would probably be on the top of my list.

My wife gets REALLY peeved at me if I clean a catfish in the spring and don’t preserve the egg sack. Good stuff!

It was squid for me!

My mother and her brothers eat pig brains. When we butcher hogs for deer prossessing they actually argue over who gets the brains. They fry them like eggs. I wouldn’t even think of trying them but they go nuts.

You will never catch me eating the brains of any animal, no matter how far cooked it is. That is where most of the diseases are concentrated, and not something I want to be eating. Same with marrow.

Cant say its odd but pickled pigs feet used to be a favorite of mine. Needed to be good ones. Not the all fat ones that are in most stores. Dang fine food with a glass of beer.

I lived in extreme Southern Mexico for 2 months… so… yeah…

There’s a kind of bug down there that looks like a rose thorn. We have similar up here, but this particular species grows in huge masses down there on shrubs and trees. They take a really fine-mesh net and wrap the tree, then shake it to dislodge the bugs into the net. Yes, yes… I did.

I ate bugs.

They were pretty good. There were two ways they prepared them. For one, they took a huge cast-iron cauldron (like you might see in a halloween display) and put it on an open fire, empty, till it was rip-roaring hot and then dumped a ton of these bugs in there for just a few seconds, basically toasting them. They eat them like popcorn… really good until you get a bug leg stuck under your gum. Urk.

The other way was just to mash them into a paste and spread them on tortillas like peanut butter… little salt, little lime and boom. Lunch.

All in all, not bad.

Also had bull testicles in Mexico. Odd texture, but not bad.

Another odd dish was “postol”… field corn, ground by hand to a paste, then mixed with water and sugar. It’s like corn starch soup. HYPER FREAKING CARB LOAD!! But they’re complex carbs, so the energy surge lasts a long time.

Yeah, Mexico was fun.

Why would you post a picture like that and not say what it is?

The oddest thing I’ve ever eaten is my wife’s cooking.

Considering the title of this post, I can’t believe there hasn’t been some sort of a sex joke yet…

Don’t think I didn’t consider it, but I used better judgement.

Buddy’s chew spit in a bud light bottle at the bar.. wait,, does chewing on your own puke count as eating?

You have that?? Cool. Maybe you have enough to share? I know a few people who could use some extra.

Lutefisk.
