I had fried aligator tail when I was in Orlando. Served with honey mustard dipping sauce. Tasted like chicken...

I had quail once (at a Minneapolis restaurant). Good, but not much meat... Served with an orange glaze.

This should be quite an interesting thread.

I have a few. Maybe they are not strange to everyone though.
Probably the strangest one was this food called Kimchee Wink

On the lighter side of things, I ate Reindeer and Moose in Norway.

In Bali I ate frogs legs (tasted like chicken). My friend yelled at me and left the table gagging when he saw it. All these little legs in some sauce over the plate. Not the most appetizing of scenes, but quite nice. (Big risk eating stuff like that in Bali, but that was fine.)

In Australia I drove over a Racehorse Goanna in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. For those not in the know, a Racehorse Goanna is long, maybe over a metre long and runs very fast, hence the name. Like a giant lizard.
So my friends thought it was a good idea to stop, make a fire and cook it on the coals. Again, white meat, something like chicken.
BTW, didn't mean to run it over.

Anyway, its lunch time. Must go now Laughing

a big meaty chunk of a bear's rear end.

Tough and smelly.

No kidding.

toad / frog meat in China, not bad but it had a lot of bones. Live fish in Chuncheon, the juice of a tuna eye (lots of times) in a sushi restaurant, san nakji (the octopus that's still moving) and bundaeggi.
Only bundaeggi tasted bad, it actually made me dry heave.

C'mon- it's boring if you just list what you ate~ circumstances, people! Like the bear rump roast. I mean, did you hunt it, eat it in a restaurant, or what?

Where I'm from (WI), deer hunting is big, so lots of people eating venison jerky. I heard it's gamey, so I won't touch it.

My dad said the worst thing he ever ate was wild boar. Had it in Nicaragua when he was living in a small village doing tropical medicine.

Dog soup
Frogs' legs

The latter is a filthy practise and it doesn't even taste great.

I wanted the live octopus thingie on Saturday night but sadly obsoyoh apparently. I wanted to try horse when I was in Italy in summer '04 but couldn't find it despite being told it's rather common there.
