What weird food do you enjoy?

I myself put away sick amounts of cottage cheese.:stuck_out_tongue:

i have eaten an entire can of cranberry sauce in one night i think

no, i had all but two spoonfulls, which i ate the next morning

i enjoy dry ramen noodles

POW

Iā€™m a fan of just about everything. The weirdest might have been an oyster I ate at a local restaurantā€™s oyster festival. Local growers brought in their samples. These were giant Puget Sound oysters, about as big as a liver. I ate one raw with no coctail sauce or lemon. That particular grower was having a contest. Someone ate seven of these things and won a coat. This oyster, when shucked, hung out of both sides of my hand. I have big hands, too.

Chicken feet at dim-sum is pretty odd. Theyā€™re pretty good, too. Iā€™ve had an Ethiopian stew that was entirely sheep entrails that was excellent. Numerous other things. Rock cod eyes, whole tempura herring (the whole fish, as is), spiced jellyfish, the list goes on and on.

I donā€™t eat very weird thingsā€¦ I do like pizza with ranch dressing. And carrots with ketchup. And everything ā€“ everything ā€“ with peanut butter.

I once had alligator soupā€¦it wasnā€™t all that bad. Shark is alright as well.

The one thing I cannot stand is squid sushiā€¦other sushi is fine (like fish sushi), just the texture of squid makes me sick.

Was it cooked at all? (although I canā€™t think of how to cook a jellyfishā€¦ermā€¦correctly)

edit- Mahi-Mahi is also very good (it is a form of dolphinā€¦I think it means ā€œstrong-strongā€ in hawiian). It tastes very sweet.

ooooo mahi mahi heavenā€¦

POW

man i need to quit posting today i have posted 16 timesā€¦

POW

Hah, talk to Obie about high numbers of posts per dayā€¦

I donā€™t think writing a new post stating that is really going to help your efforts :stuck_out_tongue:

Mahi mahi is NOT a type of dolphin. It is sometimes called the dolphin fish, though. Itā€™s also one of my personal favorite fish to eat.

Back on subject, I really like poi. Have any of you tried it?

I grew up eating poi(with 2 fingers), and spam (musibiā€™s). I also eat alot of Li Hing Mui, a powder that is made from dehydrated prunes and then salted. Its ridiculously good. I also eat tons of rice, and in every from, Riceballs, ricecakes, rice pudding, ricebuttered, rice, mochi(sweet rice paste cakes), buddamochi, and basically anything else to do with rice. Pickles are good too, I especially enjoy the juice. One time I ate an entire 1 gallon jar of Dill pickles, juice and all. Mmmmmmmm butter pickles are good too.

Jellyfish is usually blanched like octopus. Itā€™s boiled very quickly; a few seconds.

Turtle soup is good as well as frogā€™s legs. Iā€™ve had a turtle stew that was some of the nastiest stuff Iā€™ve ever eaten, though. Moon snails are bad, too, as well as cockels.

Iā€™ve eaten a live rock crab before by swallowing it whole on a dare. Donā€™t do it. They try to crawl back up your throat as you swallow.

I have to disagree with Daino and Catboy on poi. I think itā€™s pretty bland stuff.

PICKLES!!! Awesome I do that all the time. The hot pepper rings are good too and the juice but not as good at pickles. I also enjoy ketchup.

Frogs legs fried in batter at a chinese restaurant in Paris. very nice indeed! Unfortunately Iā€™ve never seen it on the menu anywhere since.

chocolate worms are quite nice, but bland - not as bland as poi thoughā€¦

iā€™ve been to a restaurant in Muldersdrift that specialises in a variety of game dishes
the restaurant is called Carnivours (this was not during any one of my vegetarian periods)
there we ate Gemsbok, Kudu and Crocodile meat
iā€™ve eaten a Mopani worm, many years ago
the very thought of it REALLY freaks me out at the moment
and it was dead and deep fried, not even like it was crawling or anything
bbllleeeaaauuugghh!
i donā€™t know what i was thinking

iā€™ve also eaten the worm in the bottom of a tequila bottle
i canā€™t remember what i was thinking

:wink:

Thanks for clearing that one up. I wanted to make sure nobody thought we were eating fish with big brains! Yes I know theyā€™re not fish, but they live in the water. And they sometimes protect humans in trouble, such as from sharks. Donā€™t eat them, and avoid doing business with companies that allow dolphins to be killed in production of their products.

Once. (Old Lahaina Luau). We went there again this year. I skipped the poi.

But otherwise-normal people in different parts of the world eat lots of gross things. In this country, oatmeal and coffee. Yuck.

Donā€™t like squid sushi? That must be why the Japanese name for it is ā€œIka.ā€ Close enough to ā€œIcky.ā€ Iā€™m also not much of a fan of Taco (octopus), but Beau Hoover loves it. or especially Uni (sea urchin), even though I had to go for some ā€œuni on the half-shellā€ at a nice sushi place I went to with Jack Hughes in Japan. Oops, I thought I had the pictures online but apparently I donā€™t! Only the Unicon ones.

Stuff Iā€™ve eaten:
Bear, alligator, ants, ostrich, buffalo
Singapore:
Durain, star fruit
China:
Snake, snake blood, snake bile, jellyfish, dog
Japan:
Hundred-year-old egg, a baked potato with nothing but chopsticks, and ??? (meat parts of an unknown nature) at a yakitori place during Unicon. That goes with some other pictures I need to uploadā€¦

Thatā€™s what I can think of at the moment.

I could probably eat a pound of chicken hearts in one sittingā€¦!!! :smiley:

Devourer of souls! GASP

Has anyone ever tried a Twinkie Wiener Sandwich? Watch UHF, and youā€™ll know what Iā€™m talking about.
Canā€™t say that I actually enjoy them, except in the same way I enjoy really bad 1950ā€™s films.
