Strangest thing you have eaten

[Igor]

When I was in the USAF in Taiwan, they had something called a "hundred year egg".  I can't remember the Chinese name for it.  It had a very sulphury taste........I only ate one.  They also had little push carts around town that served dried squid.  They had a gizmo on the cart that looked like a washing machine wringer.  They ran the squid through that, then hung it up to dry.  Very salty and chewy, but with enough beer they were edible.

A slug 

Anddddd I just puked in my mouth a little bit.

Wow.  Slug.

whatever the native slug to the states actually would make your mouth go numb. europeans imported, i think the brown(?) slugs, to combat this. pretty sure they were a delicacy back then

and jackalope, weve cooked beaver 12 different ways and it has always been great. my wife wont let me give any away thats how much she likes it

ive tried rocky mountain oysters, not really much of a taste since it was fried. id eat them again too

My understanding of it, and I could very well be completely wrong, is that our only native slug is the banana slug.  And all those brown garden slugs are introduced.  Caleb didn't die or puke up blood or anything, so I'm probably wrong

Weirdest was some sort of pig snout stir fry in China. It was tasty and I didnt know what it was at first, then I realized the shape and cartilage texture.

In the Philippines, Isaw... which is pig or chicken intestines, typically street food. Definitely good. I tried the balut, but I couldn't stand the smell.

I know I tried some interesting stuff in other foreign travels, but those stand out the most in my memories.

Must be a Darwin award here somewhere, yikes

Probably not since we are all still talking about it....

I think you’re right with the banana slug being native. Would make their mouths go numb though so they imported browns. Thank the initial euros for bringing those monster over here!!

1. Raw Rotten Oysters
Dad grew up in Minnesota, so when he moved our Family out to Western Washington in 1960 he took all us Kids to the Beach.
 "Now I hear you can't be a True Washingtonian until you all have eaten a Raw Oyster".
So down to the High Tide Mark we went and shucking the first Oysters we found, which unknown to us Country Bumpkins were all Milky looking and Dead, (and in a Month that didn't even have an "R" in it).
But down the hatch they went.....now Dad told us all later, we were still good Washingtonians since we had tried them, (even if we couldn't keep them down). 
2. Fresh Picked Head of Broccoli, right out of my own garden.
 I popped the Bright Green Head right in my mouth and munching it up.... realized it was covered on the underside with hundreds of Green Aphid's.
Yummm, Right. Hey Dad would have said, it was "All Free Protein!"

You know those moths that gather around a camp fire at night, those are actually tasty.😉

When I was a kid the ol man decided one day I had to eat any birds I shot with my B.B. gun, I remember robin breasts weren’t bad but woodpecker was very very tough. Then in high school a buddy shot a seagull that I swear was 1/4 mile in the air with 12 gauge trap load. It was such an amazing shot we decided we needed to honor the seagull by eating it. Needless to say none of us were at school the next day

Wow. You guys are some adventurous eaters. Seriously. I can't come close to that, and I thought I was fairly adventurous.

I have eaten balut, but I kind of cheated. I just smashed it against the roof of my mouth until I could chug it down with a pint of beer. I remember thinking it tasted ok though.

Absolute worst thing I have ever eaten has to be sea cucumber. I wouldn't eat another bite for 100 bucks.

How was your prepared? I had one that broiled I think. It had the consistancy of a couple week old jellow shot , tasted kind of like warm beef gristle. I liked the taste but when I swallowed it wouldn't go down.

Bat wing soup, moon snail, deep fried scorpion, dog, lots of different deep fried bugs, monkey brains...

I really like opossum. The key is just the legs off DO NOT GUT THEM! I made that mistake once. Most of the meat is on the legs and the almost look like a chicken thigh and leg, except for the thumbs on each one.  I'd normally leave those on fir the effect especially when I didn't tell folks what were were eating.

Monkey brains may just be the thread winner.
Care to elaborate on that one?
