Weirdest food you've ever eaten

OOOOOOOO! Just remembered the weirdest thing I ever ate!

A pizza in France. It was a Mexican Pizzaria in Lyon France (I think it was Lyon...if not, very close to that vicinity). The toppings were beef (from this white wooly mammoth looking cow we would see in the pastures there), little sweet pickles (that I thought were mushrooms at first), and then a semi-raw egg in the middle (which started to cook a little from being cracked on a very hot pizza pulled right from the oven).

My older brother (who's French wasn't so good back then) wanted to try the wooly mammoth cow, but didn't know the other toppings would be pickles and a raw egg. The whole thing was pretty unappetising, but neither of my brothers would eat any part of the pizza that had the egg touching it, so I ended up sucking it down, chased by a swig of a watery mexican beer...big mistake...very nasty...felt sick most of the rest of the day. :sick1:


EDIT:

And the gross memory of a raw egg-white wooly mammoth beef-pickle pizza at a Mexican Pizza joint in France is what I spend my 1,000 post on...dammit! :lol:

This sounds awful, but that's primarily because I do not like eggs. :( Or sweet pickles for that matter! yargbleh at the combo!

I am positive I would ask for it's head to be removed before serving as well, I'm not a huge fan of my food looking back at me!

Rodent is a pretty popular type of protein outside of the US.
The Louisiana state board has been trying for years to get people to accept Nutria as a meat alternative. It's been a fur animal forever.

Had Gator meat in FL and loved it. Got Gator meat around here before the NC game and it was vile. I have had Octopus sushi like others have mentioned, also when I got sweet shrimp sushi they brought out the fucking heads of the shrimp that they had like deep fried or something, me and another guy at the table at the Japanese Steakhouse decided to try it, not surprisingly, it was shitty.

Dried and cured horse served in thin slices like prosciutto in Toro, Spain.

Deep fried pigs ears in Rioja, Spain.

Before I die, I plan on going to Vietnam and eating the still beating heart of a cobra. I'm serious. Anthony Bourdain did it in one of his books.

Did you know it was dog, or was it just one of those Korean/Chinese Buffets where you found out later on it was sweet and sour dog instead of chicken?
I was told before it was served that it was dog, and it did taste different than beef.

I've had "basashi", which is raw horse meat thinly sliced and served like sashimi. Pretty good, actually...

They do this in Thailand too I think, and you can get a still beating frog heart, along with the rest of the frog, prepared for you in Japan. (Andrew Zimmern shows!)
