Tried crocodile, zebra and hippo when I was in Kenya.

Crocodile was nice, zebra was delicious, hippo tasted like sh*t.

Had a bit of a crisis of conscience about eating the zebra...............was a bit too close to horse in my mind................but it WAS yummy!

Pigeon at a posh resutrant in London (quite close to trafalga square...)

a green billed duck like animal of some sort whist in Japan, and well pretty much anything else I ate while I was in Japan was slightly strange/suspsious. :sick:

The zip that I pulled off of my coat. Aged 5.
Parents didn't quite believe me until the hospital X-ray showed it up nice and clear.
I think it came out, eventually.

Rattlesnake in butter & tabasco sauce - very tasty :D

Alligator steak - not bad at all :D

My fave has to be a raw liver sandwich - used to eat these regularly when I raced sailboats for a living (lots & lots of protein) - ok not terribly strange or obscure - but probably quite unusual !! :D :D

OK, you have to understand that I was three or four at the time. The world, and the front garden was a strange place with lots to discover. Like what does a slug taste of? You know the big shiney, slimey black ones with the opaque centres. :sick:

Isn't Castrol-R castor bean oil? Castor beans are highly toxic (they contain ricin).

Castor oil
Castor beans are pressed to extract castor oil which is used for medicinal purposes. Ricin does not partition into the oil because it is water-soluble, therefore, castor oil does not contain ricin, provided that no cross-contamination occurred during its production.

Fish head curry in Malaysia.
A giant fish head on a banana leaf with curry sauce oveer the top.
Terrible waste of the rest of the fish I thought.

Drew the line at eating the eye, I left that to one of the locals who were with us.
He just calmly stuck his fork in this eye which was about the size of a £1.00 coin. :shock:

When in Japan I had a plate of mixed sushi placed in front of me. My Japanese host recommended an orange looking thing about an inch cubed. Popped it in my mouth and it tasted like a mouldy old sponge soaked in salt water (not that I've ever eaten a mouldy old sponge, even after a skinful).

Then he told me what it was........raw sea urchin. Quite a delicacy in those parts he said. They've got a bloody wierd taste in seafood is all I can say.

Once upon a time I could eat just about anything and did, not so anymore though.

the oddest I can remember is probably bird eating spider, big hairy thing, pack in mud, put in the ground, build a fire on top, brush the fire out the way, and the mud goes hard, crack it open and it takes all the hair and bits off.

onlt a couple of mouthfuls mine, but if not exactly nice a good source of protien :shock:

Suger ant ain't bad either.

Worm Omelet, yes they were alive. - Military Survival Exercise.

Chappie Dog Food, I was 2 years old and watched the dog eat it from the bowl.
So I thought I'd give a try.

Soap aswell, again very young.

Anyone for a soggy biscuit :?:

I would guess that those with an services background would know about this one. I lost the game which means you get to eat the "soggy" biscuit.

Also a pint of bodily fluids.

What do you mean, I often dip the old Ginger snaps into a nice cup of scaldy tea, I mean, I prefer when they arent, you know, soggy all the way through and things. But certainly not that bad.



And eh..

I recently found out what that was, I gotta say you must be "comfortable" to undertake such a game! I haven't really eaten anything wierd, probably the most unsual thing I have (for this country) is peanut butter and jam sandwiches, although I picked it up in America when I lived there, and it wasn't out of the ordinary there! Every one at my work thinks I'm wierd though.

About a year ago - mud.

I thought it was a piece of chocolate I'd dropped on the sofa.

It was actually a piece of Hampstead Heath that had fallen off my flatmate's jeans.

I was rather taken aback by the 'melt in the mouth' sensation and ran to the sink to spit it out. :?
