Carlene: FYI The Native Americans used to eat their dogs.

Daily Driver: The Chinese eat Monkey brains as a delicacy. They have tables with little holes in the middle to stick the monkey up through it to hold it tight. They then beat the little guys brains out with little wooden hammers. Use chopsticks to pick out the brains. Barbaric and gross in my opinion.

 

I have had deep fried whole crabs and shrimp heads, yummy. Sea Urchin Sushi(actually the gonads, yuck) but delicious and an acquired taste. Live Conch sushi. Raw oysters is rather pedestrian, who ever thought to eat these sea boogers? Goat is delicious, but I never could get myself to eat the head, a real delicacy I am told. Pickled Jelly Fish(chewy) and birds nest soup and shark fin soup, all delicous. Goat shanks with marrow(kind of like eating fat). Cow tongue, not my favorite, kind of like eating fat and gristle. Pickled pigs feet, yum. Pig ear tamales(delicious). Chorizo, love it but you don't want to know whats in it. Camels milk, it's OK. Menudo con patas, the Mexican "chicken soup", love it, BTW the patas are cow hooves, and menudo is tripe stew. Some kind of tripe with cream sauce in Italy, the waiter tried to talk me out of it(in sign language) since he saw I was a "gringo", one of the best meals of my life. I love whale meat, kind of like dry coarse beef, sure do miss it.

I took a pass on the duckheads and the chicken feet, both delicacies I am told.

Of course there are the accidental meals, like the day granny cooked up a whole mess of lambs quarters(greens). Delicious, including the big green grasshoppers that we missed getting out of the pot. the usual bugs and such while camping. The fly in my hot rum toddy at a bar. All that was left were the feet when I noticed. I did not want another for free, thanks.

My wife always complains that I eat out of the garbage. what does my white bread, meat and potatos wife know.

Many, many years ago I was visiting in Georgia and my buddy shot a deer. They butchered it on the kitchen table of his apartment and I got to carry the head out to the dumpster. While I walked through the parking lot I noticed some nice red meat sticking out the neck and started gnawing it off the head as I walked.

Hey Paul, I can tell you hate to see good food go to waste.

Has anyone here eaten 'Blowfish'?

Dennis: It is my understanding that eating blowfish is very toxic so if anyone claims to have eaten this I think we would be talking to a ghost

 

Sushi (fish, squid, scallops, surf clam, eel...everything except for the blowfish!) Good stuff!

Soft shell crab; never tried that until I lived in North Carolina (I grew up in the mountains of Southwest Virginia), but I love it.

Oysters; raw, steamed, fried...but raw's my favorite, with lots of horseradish.

Vietnamese pancakes...also had a "chicken" dish in the same restaurant....it was good, although I wasn't overly sure it was chicken!

Squirrel, rabbit, deer, frog legs, quail; haven't tried grouse yet but I hear it's really good.

That's pretty much all I can think of; you guys have me beat with the foreign foods!!

I quite often eat rabbit and really enjoy it. While in Europe I tried Turtle in a stew and boy was it delicious mind you this was quite a few years ago and I don't believe you are able to eat them anymore.

 

Over the years I have eaten and enjoyed bullfrog legs, rabbit (cottontail and snowshoe), squirrel, quail, pheasant, grouse (sage and blue), mourning dove, wild duck and goose, deer, elk, antelope, moose, black bear, buffalo, rocky mountain oysters (beef and buffalo), blue crab, crawfish, black tipped shark, turtle soup, and calimari.

I have tried, but not really liked rattlesnake, muskrat, raccoon, armadillo, jack rabbit, and possum. Probably a few things I have forgotten over the years.

The most exotic thing I ever tried was elephant jerky. This was about 20 years ago. Reminded me of using beef pot roast and making jerky out of it, very greasy.

 

All of the Blow fish are not toxic. Only certain parts of it are. You have to have someone prepare it who knows exactly what they are doing or else:+

Spent 2 summers working the Arctic tried caraboo, arctic char,but
by far the most exotic was when I was in Igloolik I had WALRUS
it wasn't half bad. (Well it didn't make me sick). I mainly ate it to be polite. It had a very odd
texture sort of like wet cake. It was just boiled but I often wonder what it would be like on the bbq.
