Weirdest food you've ever eaten

Wow you sure ate high on the hog!

Damn straight!

I still occasionally drive 40 minutes or so to the nearest Lee's to pick up some gizzards.

try a lard sandwich sometime. :)

I'm guessing that would be on white?

Damn right! There's nothing that Tobasco Sauce can't make tasty!

I dunno about that....it couldn't help the 1st gen MREs they pulled off the MPS ships.

Separated oil & orange chunks....mmm

How was the intestine served? Does the jellyfish get cooked in some way?

I've had it stewed and fried. BTW, pig guts are tasty, but cow guts not so much. Jellyfish has been served cold when I've had it, but I don't know if it's actually raw or boiled then chilled.

Hm, ok, I wasn't sure if they were served the same way as chitlin's (pig guts) or not. Maybe the cow weren't as tasty because someone didn't clean them as well? That's really important for that particular food.

Jellyfish has been served cold when I've had it, but I don't know if it's actually raw or boiled then chilled.

Ok. I found a bunch of recipes for using reconstituted jellyfish but not too many for it "fresh" so that's still something I don't know much about. It seems like its either a salad course, sort of like a seaweed salad add on, or its a textural addition to something else.

That Insect Club place doesn't exist anymore I don't believe.

Can't say I'm surprised. It felt more like a trendy "let's eat there once because it will be fun" spot. Good, but not something I'd have crossed the Potomac to go back and get again.

Can't really think of anything else. I've had live fish on the back of a lobster boat before the sun has come up that morning -- reminded of that one when I was setting my new avatar and sig. Still on Maine, my great grandmother used to eat what she called the "tomalley" inside lobsters. Forget the meat, go up inside the cephalothorax and look for both green and bright orange. You can't eat the orange, but she'd eat the green, which was probably the macerated remains of the stomach and/or liver. I don't believe I ever tried it, and have no real desire to do so now. Besides, after catching your own in arguably the best waters for it in the world, and eating it within hours of it being pulled from the water -- it's hard to have lobster any other way.

Looking through some of the previous answers, ostrich is (or at least can be) wonderful. Haven't had jellyfish, but I've been stung by them so many times that I sort of want to for the sake of harmonic justice. Haven't had human, but saw a documentary on HBO not too long ago where some guy likened it to "nice pulled pork" which piqued my interest.

Off Topic Alert!

Where in Maine did you grow up C? I spent many summers as a kid visiting my Great Uncle and his lobstermen friends in Tenent's Harbor.

God I love it up there.

I'm familiar with Tenant's!

Didn't grow up in Maine -- well, in some ways I did, I suppose -- I came up outside DC in Mount Vernon, Virginia. I spent every summer in Maine until I put the uniform on though, and got up there a few times even after that. We had a place on Matinicus island (the Wikipedia link is my current .sig), which is about 20-25 miles off the coast near Rockland. Throughout my teens, I spent those summers (at least the mornings) lobstering with a family friend who was (at the time) a full-time resident of the island. Extraordinary times, experience, and place though. The people are as "real" as they get, the lobster and halibut gets no fresher than that, and despite no tv, computers, or other distractions, we always had an absolute blast and were sorry to leave. Sadly, some years after the house passed on from my great-grandmother to my maternal grandfather, it was sold out from underneath us.

As an aside, all my dogs have been from Sukee's kennels right on Rt.1 in Warren which is only a few miles away from Tenant's. We'd pass it both ways every year going to and coming from the island. After 20+ years of pressing my face to the glass every time we'd pass to get a look at german shepherd pups, I bought one within a month of getting out of the Corps.

Having spent time in Tenant's, you may well of heard of Matinicus. Or at least Vinalhaven, which was much much larger, and much closer to the mainland. When we would fly out to the island, we would do so from Owl's Head, which is on the same peninsula as Tenant's as I recall, both just south of Rockland.

Fantastic area, and getting back up there someday is an absolute desire -- even though our place is no longer "our" place, and my surname probably no longer garners the same (and very rare) appreciation and respect amongst the locals as once did. Out on those islands, the difference between being accepted Summer people and complete outsiders is a significant one.

As an aside, my current avatar is actually a picture of Matinicus harbor. Not that there's anything to see there besides a few lobster boats and the 'island' in the middle that only appears in the lower tides, but I've had Maine on the brain for a few weeks now, and decided to run with a new theme for a while here.

This guy eats some weird things!
Examples? FORGET those previous examples, this entry is the best yet!

Breast Milk
Until now, the foods I've sampled for this section have all come from the supermarket. Then one day I realized that a perfectly viable "Steve Don't Eat It" candidate has been sitting right under my nose for months. Right in my very own refrigerator. And it came right out of my wife! No, I'm not talking about that giant cucumber, perv. I'm talking about breast milk.
That's right. And not just a little drop off the odd finger, but a genuine slug of freshly-pumped wife juice. (I'll go ahead and ignore the shiver I just got, and keep typing.)
Thinking about actually drinking breast milk has caused me to ponder the question: Is it not weirder to drink cow's milk which is truly intended for baby cows? The answer: Hell no! The only thing weirder than me drinking breast milk, is the fact that milk is coming out of my wife's chest in the first place. It sure as hell didn't do that when I met her. I'm telling you, the whole thing is lunacy. I love my wife, but does she really have to be such a mammal?
Okay, I have put this off long enough. The time has come. I'm off to The Booby Bar to see what they've got on tap...

*************** Oh, where do I begin?
Well, I did feel the need to find the appropriate glass. Drinking it from a baby bottle seemed too on the nose (not to mention too creepy), and I didn't have enough milk to justify a martini glass. (Although with a splash of Bailey's I suppose you'd have yourself a nice "Nippletini.") Luckily the "Dumbass Website Gods" smiled down upon me. I came across the only shot glass we happened to have in the house, and it was actually from Wisconsin -- The Milk State!
I must admit that my aversion to drinking breast milk is something of a double-standard. Let me try to put this as delicately as I can out of respect to my female readers... but some women have been known to willingly "ingest" a certain dubious "body fluid" made by men, during moments of "intimacy." (These moments are known as "blow jobs." These women are known as "awesome.")
Nevertheless, I couldn't bring myself to just do the whole shot at once, so I started out with a little girly sip. And the truth is it's not that bad at all. It tastes like milk, just slightly more sweet. And mentally, just slightly more making me want to gargle with Clorox and assume the fetal position while I question my life.
Now, while I may have issues with drinking this stuff, I have been a huge fan of its packaging for years. You may be interested to know that breast milk is now available in a variety of convenient sizes:

from the portable, half-pint container...
gallon.jpg

to the more economical one gallon jugs.
To make things more interesting, and a little bit easier on myself, I decided to break out the Hershey's syrup and whip up some chocolate breast milk.
choc2.jpg
This time I just knocked the shot right back, and two words immediately came to mind: Yoo Hoo. It tasted just like good ol' Yoo Hoo. I almost want to say that drinking breast milk isn't so bad, except the other two-word phrases that also came to mind were "stomach pump" and "kill me."
I'm officially leaving all future breast milk drinking in the capable hands of my baby boy -- the one guy who now gets to second base with my wife way more than I do. But, I don't mind. I love that little asshole.



How many of you fathers out there have tried it, or thought about it?

Anyone been, or going to, Guam? :biggrin:

Giant fruit bats (also known as flying foxes) are a delicacy in Guam, and bat hunting became easier after the Americans came and guns were made readily available.
To mark an important event or to celebrate a social gathering, the Chamorro drop an entire bat (wingspan up to 1.2 meters) into a pot of boiling milk. Once the animal is cooked through, it is eaten - all of it, fur, wings, bones and all internal organs, including the intestines.
