Probably escargot and I loved it!
ooh, really? I've always been curious...but haven't. what's it like?
Kinda squishy texture wise. It was cooked in garlic and who knows what else. So it had that garlic taste to it also. I had it at a fancy restaurant in Hawaii.

It was covered in garlic so that's all I pretty much tasted. I thought it would have the texture of fat, which I can't stand, but it was more chewy than that. Wasn't bad at all.

Chitlins . .. when I didn't know any better. My Granny used to take me to a Chittlin Festival every year in a little town around here. I miss the festival and the time with her, but not the rest of it!
I forgot to mention mountain oysters. I was 15 and my step dad thought it was funny to give me some at this restaurant and no one would tell me what they were. I didn't care because I liked them. After we left the restaurant I was told but I wasn't grossed out or anything. I had some chitlins once too. Someone took me to a soul food restaurant. I seem to remember liking them but I'm not sure. I've also had calamari (loved it)and bird's nest soup (before I knew what it was). The only thing I think I'd have a problem with is insects and bugs (eeeww!)
My mom and dad are from Trinidad....so I've eaten a few things out there!!! :-)
The idea of eating swallows' saliva just does not make me smile.I tried frog's legs for my 18th birthday. They were in garlic butter so strong, all one could taste was the garlic.
My culture values kishke which I love (chicken fat and seasoned flour stuffed in an intestine).
I also love our culture's chopped chicken livers with onions, chicken fat and griveners (the chicken skin equivalent of pork rinds).
We also eat gefilte fish, which is basically a poached fishburger.
I eat these Jewish traditional foods but they do not seem wierd to me.
Oh, I forgot! I ordered alligator once, it had a beefy flavor an a fish texture (yuk).When I was a Girl Scout, a survival teacher showed us how to eat black ants. It had no flavor.
love gator tail, if it's cooked properly.

lol i ate FRIED ANTS... they were.,.... MMMMM crunchy?? (i was in Brazil and thats what i had to eat on the amazon.. high in protein.. "thats what she said" LOL
Atumn, You are a brave one! I just can't imagine eating bugs. I'm pretty open to eating a lot of different stuff but I draw the line at bugs/insects.
the reality is that we've all probably eaten a bug or two in our lifetime!the thought is disturbing...
Probably the weirdest thing I've ever eaten was black pudding when I went to Ireland. It's part of the traditional Irish breakfast and I found it to taste like it looks...charred.
Ok, I guess my 'strange" isn;tt hat strange compared to this stuff gals. I'm quite boring with grrilled cheese sandwiches soaked in dill pickle juice or fritos dipped in miracle whip....and no, I'm not nor did I eat these combos while pregnangt! I ate them before!

My daughter likes to dip everything in sour cream.

Oh Pamela! i had no choice! we had canned foods.. and we had run out of tuna.. so,we drowned the ants in alcohol and then fried them.. ***shivers** i know!! but it sustained me on my medical yr LOL!
