Yeah, it is chalky. When in Hawaii, do as the Hawaiians do I guess. I also ate wild boar out there. gross!!!

It tasted very bland to me...the poi that is.

[jabumbo]

i have recently moced blueberries from my "dont eat" list to my "will eat when inside a mixture of things" list. i think it joins raisins as theonly one in that list

[dublirie04]

It tasted very bland to me...the poi that is.
yup, bland for sure kind of like tofu...no taste unless you add it. Now Taro chips are another story. They are made from the same root and very sweet. Have you tried those? They are like a purple potatoe chip with a yam taste. One of my favorites!!!!!!!

Blood pudding
Pate
Haggis


Pate's nice... The other stuff on the list is just gross.

Brains and dog meat is on my "Big No No" list.

And sticky...like glue....I needed about three mai tais to get rid of the film :) I also ate Mako shark out there for the first time....yummy!

[CiaoBellaXO]

Guacamole maybe because the word "guac" freaks me out, had it the other night and it was awesome.

[beastiegirrl101]

All those "this beer has pigs blood, deer's blood whatever kind of animal blood in it" is such a myth....post the indgredients and then maybe I'll believe ya. ;)

Still mad at you for not coming to the reunion...j/k

Taro chips are damm fine snacking...along with yam fries.

[Whois]

Dog isn't bad, neither is horse.

Anyone had fried maggots? mmMMmm...crunchy.

[Lindsey_1535]

man some of you have eaten some gross things, the only thing I can think of is that I had a piece of squids tentacle, but it wasn't fried or anything is was straight up tentacle, I almost barffed

[cosmo105]

Taro chips aren't all that exotic.

my favorite restaurant serves fried yams and yucca etc. and it's really good.

hrm. i've tried a lot of different asian foods.

the strangest? super salty bamboo cooked with seaweed...mushrooms with "vegetarian jellyfish" (don't ask how they did that, i don't wanna know)..."glass" noodles...my brother, on the other hand, is not vegan and has tried:

barbecued duck feet
baby octopus
pig's ear (his wife told him, "it's an asian vegetable...i can't remember the English translation for it" to get him to eat it)

[shootme]

Duck feet is nice, especially with black bean sauce. Glass noodles and bamboo are cool too. Jellyfish doesn't taste of much to me, just kinda crunchy and chewy at the same time.

Call me gross but I love deep fried squid, mmmm.

[dublirie04]

Anyone ever had Rocky Mountain Oysters?

(buffalo balls) (n) (n)

[Stupid]

I've had octopus before, it was surprisingly nice.

[Johanna]

goat kidney(n), crocodile tail(n), zebra(y)
nowadays i'm a vegatarian, thank god

[b-grrrlie]

Before I turned vegetarian I tried frogs legs, snails and squid. The first two were good, third too rubbery. As vegetarian, there's still a few exotic fruits that I haven't tasted and I still can't stand aubergine.

[CiaoBellaXO]

eel & eel sauce they put on sushi...

[synch]

Calf brain. Pigs stomach. Various organs mashed into a sausage like thing.

Actually it's more disguisting in writing than it was to actually eat it...

[Tone Capone]

snails (in France)
grasshoppers (Thailand)
octopus (Korea)
cocoons (Korea)
emu (california)

i don't like eggs. :(

[Whois]

Salt & Pepper Squid (y)

[aenema]

Salt & Pepper Squid (y)
YES, indeed that is some good nosh. Especially grilled, hmmm. It's the kind of thing I only have abroad anyway, so it's a real novelty.

I've had grilled/fried octopus too, that's excellent (agrh, when is my next holiday???)

I went to Switzerland last year and my friend and I decided on trying horse brain, but the next day we had moved from the slopes where the restaurant was. I'm going again this year and if I see it on any menu I'll go for it.

Anyone tried that? What's the texture/taste like?

Beckalina: Stop giving us Brits a further bad name in dental health puh-lease!

i used to like eggs, still sorta do i guess...

but unless they are scrambled up, i cant eat egg yolks without getting sick

[happy.ness]

I had snails yesterday :D But I'm in France so that's probably why!
I tasted grilled grasshoppers too in Bangkok, it's like chips, no big deal ;)
But one thing I'll definitely never be able to eat is kidney :eek:
