What are some of the strangest foods you've encountered in your travels?

Question

I love to travel and I love food, who doesn't?! I've traveled to different places and seen the different foods, and sometimes really odd foods other cultures have, but surprisingly some of them are very tasty. Here are a couple I've encountered;

Balut; a Filipino food which is a partially incubated duck egg, the bones and feathers give a crunchiness to the food.

Ant Eggs; in Mexico, no thanx!

Cow's Udders; in El Salvador, again, no thanx!

Fire Ant Soup; from Laos, a freinds grandmother made some for a a bbq, again, no thanx!

Haggis; from Scotland, it's a sheep's stomach filled with a mixture of the animal's own minced heart, liver, and lungs and then boiled in onions, oatmeal, and Scotch. Surprisingly this was actually pretty good, but then again maybe the Scotch altered my sense of taste.

Vegemite; from Australia, no thanx, tried it once, prefer a tall keg of Foster's beer. It's like a jam, a salty yeast spread, yuck!

Spotted d**k; from England, pudding shaped in a roll, great!

Answer 1

wow... makes blood sausage made with reindeer blood in finland and roast beaver in northern ontario seem absolutely tame!

Answer 2

Elephant lip stew

Answer 3

Fricassee of unborn camel in Morocco and a raw sea urchin in Chile---can't remember the name, but it tastes similar to Philippine bagarong.

In Thailand I went along the street vendors cart and sampled whole frogs, grass hoppers, large cockroaches, and grubs all fried with spice and salt. Great finger snacks with a beer.

Answer 4

dog meat at an open air butcher stand. the dog was skinned and upside down on a meat hook. it was full of flies.  this was in mexico during the 1960's

Answer 5

OI! whats wrong with vegemite? Did you do the mistake of using it like peanut butter? You're only meant to put a scraping, and put some butter too.. Then you can add some cheese, and throw it under the griller until it melts.. Even a piece of tomato. . or even pineapple.. Its soo good.

Answer 6

I once ate goat genitals..uh! It was supposed to be a delicacy of that area...it tasted weired and my mental block made me feel sick...hehe...

Answer 7

Dry rotten shark meat
