I’m not the slightest bit adventurous when it comes to food. Sad, but the strangest thing I’ve eaten is probably fried pickles.
I’m not very adventurous either. I don’t want to eat calf brains or any kind of organ meat (I never eat/fix liver). I am sure I ate squirrel as I child. Not on purpose and not by my mother, but I had uncles who hunted. Which is why I had elk one time. It’s not common around here, it was good. The weirdest thing I think I’ve eaten, is squid and it was just a taste. I know that’s not weird for a lot of people. But, blech.
Samantha, how were the fried pickles?
Mine isn’t hugely unusual, but considering I am pretty selective about what passes my lips, it was not typical for me — menudo — not the boy band, but the Mexican soup made with tripe (aka stomach intestines). It wasn’t bad – the texture of the meat was interesting.
I don’t feel the need to have it again. Actually, now that I think about it, I may have already had tripe in some form if what they say about hot dogs is true. I prefer not to think about it!
The cornmeal was a smidge overpowering. I love the idea of them though!
Frog’s legs and haggis. Not at the same time.
My parents live next to the Mississippi. I was home one summer and we went to a buffet at a nice place next to the river. We had at there many times before. I saw the chicken and dressing and had not had that dish for so long that I quickly put it on my plate. As I was eating it, I noticed the taste and texture was somewhat different than normal. I asked the waitress and she informed me that I was eating Turtle and Dressing. I don’t know why but I lost my appetite and did not eat the rest of my meal. I had rabbit, squirrel and venison growing up but for some reason turtle just turned my stomach. The funny thing was…it didn’t really taste that bad.

What is haggis?
Here’s haggis-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haggis
My mother-in-law is Scottish, and we go with her to the annual Burns supper, in honor of Robert Burns. They don’t make us eat haggis as a main course, just a taste if you want it. It’s not bad, just sausage after all.
I am the furthest thing in the world from adventurous in eating, particularly when it comes to weird animals and weird parts of animals. I’ll just have some white-meat chicken, thanks.
I did try some sort of bug one time…we were at Universal Studios and there was a candy store in the outside mall/shopping area (CityWalk?) and it had free samples of…some sort of beastie. Mealworms, maybe? I really don’t remember. They were small and crunchy. I felt quite brave trying them.
Well Kiki, that was very interesting, LOL. I think I can probably pass on that.
Peanut butter, honey and pickle sandwiches (no, I wasn’t pregnant). Tuna fish sandwiches heavily dipped in Heinz tomato soup-for breakfast.
But I think this is truly the weirdest…my sister and I would take a bite of a peanut butter sandwich, chew it up till it became mush, took it out of our mouths and rolled it into a ball and placed it on a tray. This would be repeated till our sandwich was gone. Voila, an after school snack. Gross isn’t it. No, don’t say anything…it’s really disgusting when you really digest (no pun) what I discribed.
I grew up where Lobster is in our back door and I didn’t try it until I was 16 years old but my sister loved peanut butter, cheese wiz, dill pickle sandwiches. I had to make one for her when she was pregnant and I thought I was going to hurl. She made me try it and the taste was just as bad as it looked. That was my weirdest food I tasted. Not someone for adventure when it comes to food.
Darlene,
Not quite the same but I love the little sandwiches with cheese spread and olives.
Kimberly,
I am not sure of what to say. LOL
