Fried bull nuts, cooked whole with batter. Are these the same thing as mountain oysters?

Chicken gizzards aren't that bad actually if also fried.

Chickens' feet. Chewy.
Bondeggi. Not bad. Not great.
Those freshly chopped, still-wriggling, octopus tentacles. A delicate flavour. They tend to stick to your tongue or teeth. I was assured they never stick to the inside of your throat and choke you.

Failed to eat: a deep-fried locust. It kept looking at me.

I've had a frogs leg curry when I went to Bali, edible but not particularly nice.

I've had snails which were pretty disgusting, they tasted of mud.

I've tried Soondae and that was vile. I didn't know the horrible stuff they put in it otherwise now way I'd have eaten it.

I've eaten kangaroo, not bad but a bit tough.

I've been offered the live octopus thing but declined as the wriggling was just too much.

They eat horsemeat on Jeju but I didn't bother as it was expensive.

Weirdest fruit I've had was durian it tastes ok but smells really bad.

I had mock "fish with red sauce" and mock "ribs" at the "Gardern Cafe" restaurant near downtown Orlando. (Although the restaurant is strictly vegetarian - and run by a Chinese family - the "vegetarian" sign on the door is very tiny, and some people that wander in there really don't know they're not eating meat...) The most interesting food I had in India was "fried jackfruit" - which I thought tasted just like sword-fish steak (back in 1976 I still remembered what meat and fish tasted like...)

As Merlot says, "When in Rome, do the Romans as."

My wife's Buddhist friends really chewed her out for eating dog though saying that they are ancestor spirits. I thought the experience was funny (a story to tell, you know), but I do think that I will not partake of that particular meat variety again though. Disease, not sanitary, not inspected and such. I figure, try any meat once though (Spice Girl or otherwise!).

Yeah, I kind of regret not eating the live shrimp. My wife ate hers, but didn't
look happy about it. When mine went ballistic across the table, I just couldn't do it.

First time I ate dog, it was marinated and bulgogi-style. The Koreans told me
it was 'duck.' I ate a lot of it. Then someone whose English was better arrived
and told me, "It's not duck, it's dog."
I've had it several times since then, but never so good. The soup is kinda gross.

Frog legs are awesome! DuctTape a flashlight on your BB gun and roam around
the local pond at night. http://www.airgunsbbguns.com/Daisy_BB_Gun_Pellet_880_Pump_Rifle_p/day880.htm
Saute with soy sauce.

I've had guinea pigs as pets several times in my life.. You guys really ate them??
How do they taste? How are they prepared?

Wrench, eating brain is really dangerous. Biologically, there is no white blood cells in the cerebro-spinal fluid, so many virus, worms hang out on the brain. You should take one of those worm-killing pills, but that might not be enough. Ask a doctor friend, and he/she will tell you too.

Plus, if like beef had high cholesterol, brain has a factor of a hundred times that (not exaggerating with the numbers). You probably don't eat brain everyday though, but the viruses are good enough to get you once alone.
