Strangest thing you have eaten

[Alchase]

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?

Mine were in Dumplings at a famous dumpling house in Beijing, cant remember the name on one of my dads trips  a resturant walked the monkey out strapped it in a high chair cut the dome and dished it out from the live monkey

I did not eat it, so I was not going to mention it, but since you did 

My first trip to Manilla we took two ladies to a very high end restaurant. I had Tiger prawns and Mushrooms, fantastic.
There was a reserved table in the center on a elevated platform. It was a round table with a box in the middle with a whole in it.
After a few Filipino style Does XX's, we noticed about 8 upper crust individuals  gathering at the table. A few minutes later there was a commotion, a scream that sounded like a kid being torchered. I could not tell what it was making the comotion until the server left. He had place a monkey in the box, in the center of the table with only its head sticking out. Each one of the patrons had a little hammer. While continuing their conversation, they proceeded to hit the monkey in the head with the hammers, while giggling. The server opened the monkey's head, and they proceeded to pick out the monkey's brains with these little dainty forks while it shrieked. It took minutes to die. Meanwhile they just continued like they were munching like it was any other appetizer. 

I got so disgusted and pissed, My Teammate had to talk me down a bit, and we and our lady friends left.
I wanted to take their friggin little hammers and hit each one of them in the head, while they screamed and we carried on casual conversations. Sometimes I think it would have been worth it. 

I have never seen such disregard or lack of empathy for a living animal.

Ate Bobcat and loved it until I found out what it was… Big Game feed, people went back for seconds for #12, then after dinner we found out what the number stood for....

All this talk of Filipino food got me remembering an odd one.

I got this bowl of some kind of chicken and noodle type soup.  The chicken was in these cut and hammered chunks.  I just started shoveling and found out the hard way.  I guess they don't bone it out.  Just hack it up with a cleaver or an axe, then smash it.  The chicken had the sharpest bone fragments all throughout.  Some about an inch long....cutting up gums and tongue.  Supposedly that is the best way to make it.

Ya but, that hand full of (mystery) meat on a stick, I bought from "Fred" the 10 year old kid, who could wash my Nikes with a toothbrush and a small box of Tide, find me a clean women and room for the night, (his words), and barter any deal I needed out of Olongapo, was the best peso I ever spent at 3:00 Am!

Wow...what a great thread  I have nothing to really add other than what I managed to find in my cupboards as a bachelor and what I combined to make a late night meal

Whatever various "guess this meat" items showed up at the ol' hunt-WA BBQs. I eat normal things in strange ways most likely.
Fresh uni was probably the worst tasting thing, even though you didn't ask I imagined someone scuba dived down the pier and came up with a plate of piling muck then neatly arranged it on some seaweed...

[Becky]

The nuts tasted like any other nuts I've eaten, but you'd need a truckload of bucks to make a meal.

I just wanted to quote this, no other reason

Must be a Darwin award here somewhere, yikes

I ate that one too, felt like I needed a trophy.

Dog food

"Tuna" that I later found out was cat food.

Dog food

When growing up, my sisters and I thought being sent to bed without dinner was the worst punishment EVER!
Then my youngest sister (three years older than me) came up with the most brilliant idea. We put Purina dog chow in plastic lunch bags, and hid them between our mattress and boxspring for those nights we got sent to bed without dinner.
Fast forward about 30 years, the whole family was together for dinner and my sister told my Mom and Dad that we use to do this.
My Dad chuckled, my Mom started cracking up hysterically. She then asks:
"did you not think it was weird your bags of dog food never ran out?"
We just stared at each other.  Then She said:
"who do you think made your bed every day? Your father and I thought if you two want to eat dog food for dinner, we were OK with that. It saved me a ton of $$ on food, LOL"

Cape buffalo tripe, I've never been too wild about any of the tripe, intestines, stomach, etc that I've ate. Eland tail, they called it ox tail and it was quite good. Donkey, not really anything that good or bad about it. Rocky Mtn oysters, still doesn't seem right no matter how they're prepped.
