You ate WHAT??

Hubby and I went out for dinner last night.. We spotted an interesting seafood restraunt attached to a HUGE outdoor sports store.. So we thought we'd give it a try.. What an interesting place.. the centerpiece of the restrauant was an enourmous 13,000 gallon salt water fish take.. AMAZING.!!! We we lucky enough to be seated right next to it!

ANYWAY... we saw an unusual item on the menu...ALLIGATOR!... Both of us are adventurous diners, so we decided to try it for an appetizer.. It was really delicious! What odd or unual things have you tried and enjoyed? Or tried and really hated...

Well if an Alli is 'less' aggressive than a Croc - try the crocs next time !

Baby camel at an Algerian wedding...thick, wobbly pieces of vivid yellow fat with very little lean..and smelt like the most rancid old mutton x 10..
I had to eat it, I didn't want to offend the newlyweds or their family..
It was disgusting..

Re: You ate WHAT??

Not something I would go out to try, but after your post - I wish I could have had a taste

I don't think I have anything too unusual, perhaps my fermented foods is what people think most unusual

Re: You ate WHAT??

That's interesting..what are ''fermented foods?''...

Kangaroo is nice - a devil to catch but nice to eat
I've eaten Bear, Water buffalo, crocodile, horse and a few other things - all OK.
I tried real (allegedly) turtle soup once - that was a bit disgusting.

Have had ostrich in the past, but can't remember what it was like, so obviously not very memorable.

I went as a guest to a Chinese ambassadors house..the first course was a glutinous soup..birds nests..
I have also eaten sharks fin soup unknowingly..although I disagree with the ethics..it was quite delicious..
