Is a fertilized developing egg embryo that is boiled and eaten from the shell. It is commonly sold as street food in the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries. The length of incubation before the egg is cooked is a matter of local preference, but generally ranges between 14 and 21 days.

I can think of some other weird things, but they are pretty common on sushi menus across the world so I guess they aren't too weird.

It was not supposed to contain ants, but they got in the rice, and that is what we had.
They were teany, and there were thousands and thousands of them in our rice.
They were crunchy.

The first lady said, “You never know what you might be eating! Those Okanagan boys hunt anything their dogs will chase and they eat everything they catch!”
A few years ago at a family breakfast at our house when we lived in Canada, our 11 year old granddaughter mused that we should eat something really unusual and out of the ordinary. Her mother, our DIL, rolled her eyes and said, ”Bre, we are eating lynx chops, whitetail, caribou and moose... most people would think that is unusual.”
No rattlesnake that day, nor frogs, nor the water buffalo hooves I ate in Pakistan...

Sometimes while working up in the woods here, I'll chop open a stump and gather termite or carpenter ant larvae. Fry those up in butter and salt... not bad... a million pileated woodpeckers can't be wrong!

Once cooked up a muskrat braised in lard with onions like rabbit.
Added salt and pepper and it tasted every bit as good as the cottontails we shot.
The best thing was no BBs to spit out.
I regret not trying some of the bobcats I caught.
Dad wanted to cook some up, but we never did.
I looked like veal, real lean.
Bon Appetit!!!

I'd eat absolutely anything raccoon before this.... :puke:
Also, that sloppy joe was slightly burnt.

Also.in the Philippines. Ate sun dried fish dipped in a red sauce.these were finger long fish salted then dried in the sun and eaten whole dipped in a red sauce, kinda like a potato chip dipped in salsa. The whole fish... kinda weird. I've had goats milk. Also in the Philippines pig brain as a delicatessen.
I had a candy bar over on the island of Midway that tasted real tangy. I ate about half of it before I looked closely at it and noticed it was coated with ants. Checked my candy bars closely for the last 52 years.

Corsican Ram Testicles- Sliced and pan-fried; texture was a little weird, sort of spongy, but I would definetly eat them again.
Bobcat- Awesome, not as good as cougar, but very good. Crockpotted it with tomatillos and ate street taco style.
Elk 'Bread Basket' (fat behind the eyes)- ate from a fresh harvested animal after seeing Rinella eating it...tasted just like they say, kind of like uncooked bread or pizza dough.
Beaver Tail- VERY good! Clean off the skin, slice into pieces, and fry with salt and garlic. Kind of like a when you cook bacon and the fat gets crunchy but with more of beef flavor. Beaver meat in general is very good to eat also. Took backstraps and wrapped a pepperocini pepper and cream cheese and cooked- Awesome!
Sea Urchin- Will never eat again, slimy, distinct flavor, more a texture thing for me.
Stink Head (salt-water fermented salmon)- NEVER AGAIN! pungent strong amonia flavor with more a creamy like texture of salmon flesh.....NOPE!

since i started trapping two seasons ago now, weve made it a point to try some of the meat. Highly highly highly recommend beaver meat. its awesome. whole family loves it. we also tried otter...a lot of bites were ok, but if you got a gamey piece, oh good lord. it is the most awful tasting thing i have ever eaten! next year we are gonna save all the legs off the muskrats and cook them up like chicken wings. should be good
Born2late has a bunch of beaver sausage made and gave me a package to grub on. It was great.

100 year old egg - take a raw egg, wrap it in pine needles and bury it until the whites turn translucent brown and the yolk is greenish. It's ok, not bad after a few beers.
Fermented tofu - my co-workers all refer to it as a**-fu. Real bad, smells horrible and tastes worse.
Dog - actually not too bad, I didn't know what it was until a guy said "don't eat that pot there" after I had several pieces. They ensured it wasn't a "pet" dog, just a meat dog.
Horse - real dry, not a great taste not my cup of tea.
Cow stomach soup - real good, strange texture that grew on me.
Insects - bbq, fried, crushed, they are all about the same, crunchy and no reason to go there. Southern China is known for bugs and other stuff the rest of China won't touch. In one province, the local saying is that they eat anything that walks, flies, swims or slithers with it's back to the sun - which only leaves out people.
Raw goat stones - tastes like grass, a dirty barn and iron from the blood. I think it's a gag dish for foreigners as no locals seem to ever partake.
Salmon head soup - tastes like you would think. Interesting fact is the head costs more than the rest of the fish.
Pig face - half a face of a pig cut down the middle and bbq'd. Seems to be a novelty where you get a souvenir hat, bib and plenty of beer.
Maotai - some sort of rice liquor, always served in a tiny shot glass with a stem like a wine glass and routinely turns into a drinking game where the guest gets challenged by people all around the table. My company actually gave us a lesson on it as it's a huge part of doing business with traditional companies and older Chinese. It is absolutely horrible both the smell and taste are repulsive, 99% of people will gag and after enough times you develop enough of a taste to not embarrass yourself. The worst part is the shots are tiny, so you get to do a couple dozen instead of just a few.
Salmon eggs - I accidentally ate some Pautzke's when I was a kid and that turned me off for 40 years. I cured my own last year and they were great. I can't believe how many I have thrown away over the years.

When i was a teenager a friend of mine would get blackout drunk and do weird things. I watched him pick up a garden slug and eat it. I tried yelling at him about them being poisonous, but it was too late. This wasnt a banana slug, it was one of the non native, bright orange ring around the underbelly ones. Watched him eat a big gnarly spider once too.

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

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

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). :puke:
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!" :o

-intestinos cooked by a Mexican friend, wasn’t bad, anything can taste good boiled in sunny delite for hours and then covered in hot sauce an lime juice.
-big hairy moth, bitter and chalky, got to have something to wash it down with or it will get stuck in your throat mid way.

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 monkeyBat wing soup, moon snail, deep fried scorpion, dog, lots of different deep fried bugs, monkey brains...Monkey brains may just be the thread winner.
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.

I did not eat it, so I was not going to mention it, but since you did :o
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. :bash:
I have never seen such disregard or lack of empathy for a living animal.

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. :dunno:

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

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!

Fresh uni was probably the worst tasting thing, even though you didn't ask :chuckle: I imagined someone scuba dived down the pier and came up with a plate of piling muck then neatly arranged it on some seaweed... :puke:

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 :chuckle:

Dog food
When growing up, my sisters and I thought being sent to bed without dinner was the worst punishment EVER! :yike:
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. :o 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"
:DOH:
