What's the weirdest/strangest thing you've ever eaten?

I ordered by mistake at a dim sum restaurant in Hong Kong. The taste isn't so bad it's just the texture, like meat flavoured chewing gum.

I’ll try most things once but I don’t think I’ve eaten anything particularly exotic (especially after reading Funky & MOMB’s foods!).

Crocodile

Kangaroo

Sweetbreads / Liver / Kidney / Tripe / Tongue etc

Frogs legs

Snails

The only things I draw the line at are seafood things, I’ll try them but I’m not a huge seafood fan.

My brother in law came across squirrel once, but didn’t try it.

Nothing - I'm one of those terrible eaters that if I don't like the look of it, smell, texture - I just won't try it. Stark contrast to my H who'll try anything once. Even in Paris, my colleagues couldn't convince me to try snails.

Agree with Helenia that eating horse on the continent isn't anything to be ashamed of.

I've tried lots of the more regular 'unusual' things - ostrich, crocodile, frogs legs etc.

I wouldn't class tongue as weird - that was a staple food in our house growing up!

I took my eldest daughter for dim sum in London recently and among other things we ordered ducks tongues in szechuan sauce. Unexpectedly they were served chilled, which actually proved useful when she took a sip of too hot tea. Thereby coining the new family phrase: 'Oh, have you burnt your mouth? Stick a ducks tonue in it, that'll sort it out!' followed by gales of laughter every time.

Duck tongues have a bone in, which was also unexpected.

I've eaten ostrich, snails, kangaroo etc but the oddest thing I've probably eaten is Jewish food like gefilte fish.

ahh how could I forget gelfiltre fish balls??? haha I still quite enjoy them

Century eggs.... Yuck!!!!

I thought it was just who was fed tongue as a child!

I haven't eaten anything that odd that l am aware of...

I have eaten guinea pig whilst on holiday in peru... It was different but not bad.

My Dad used to buy tripe from the butchers to feed the dog...

And century egg = vom

I have eaten a fried grasshopper. The only animal I have voluntarily eaten in my twenty five years of vegetarianism. It was too good an opportunity to pass up.

It was disgusting though. I had to run to a sink to spit it out.

ETA: Oh no, I have also voluntarily eaten the larva out of the bottom of a bottle of mezcal. Again, disgusting.

I have eaten alligator. It tasted like chicken-cod. It wasn't as hideous as I was expecting but I wouldn't choose it again out of choice.

Is that a real animal?

I've never eaten anything even remotely bizarre.

No but maybe it should be? - The chickod?

ETA - basically it tasted like chicken.
