I shouldn't count this because I never actually drank it, but...

a friend of mine once gave me a bottle of seaweed juice.

Since then, I've been told it tastes good. Wish I'd tried it when I had the chance. Now I don't know where to get it! (Do you?)

Oh yea, I had that in the Pearl Tower in Shanghai as well... I heard the ones in France are better.

Seaweed juice?? Yuck. Escargot is about the weirdest I've eaten.

Amy L. Aug 14, 2009, 1:59pm EDT

hehe, Escargot, that is the one they make in France?

dog biscuits (when I was a kid)

Amy L. Aug 14, 2009, 1:59pm EDT

Never tried that one before. My bf told me it's pretty nasty.

De (It takes a pillage to raze a village.) M. Aug 30, 2009, 6:25pm EDT

I'll bet you did that on a dare.

Karen W. Aug 30, 2009, 8:44pm EDT

No. At the time my friend and I wanted to be dogs. We were pretty young and had big imaginations. I tasted worse things...but I wouldn't eat them again.

Amy L. Aug 14, 2009, 1:57pm EDT

There are different types of seaweed, I'm thinking it's something similar to this grass jelly drink?

I've had raw horse meat as sashimi in Japan, cooked giant water bugs and cooked grass hoppers in the US, cooked snake spine soup in China, shark bones in Taiwan, swift spit in Taiwan, the vitamin C containing gut of green ants in Australia, I've also had various parts of chicken, that may not seem normal to the people in the US, but internal organs, chicken feet, pigs' blood are all really common food in China and Taiwan.

Karen W. Aug 14, 2009, 9:01pm EDT

Wow! You are really brave and adventurous when it comes to food.

River Walker Aug 14, 2009, 1:58pm EDT

not THAT weird really, but what comes to mind is how at camp once when some people got back from hiking or whatever, we told them that we found this awesome drink, that you take I think it was two parts purple drink mix, 2 parts red drink mix, and 1 part hot chocolate mix. ... with hot water.
the funny part is that it ended up actually being kinda good.

The weridest thing I ever drank was an Ale 8. What kind of flavor is that supposed to be?

Rabbit Brain

Amy L. Aug 15, 2009, 11:41am EDT

How was that? I had pig's brain in China once, and I didn't like it.

joe r. Aug 16, 2009, 9:42pm EDT

It was ok. A bit like pudding but enjoyable. Hard to find whole rabbit unless you raise them yourself.

De (It takes a pillage to raze a village.) M. Aug 30, 2009, 6:25pm EDT

My dad used to eat both pig and cow brains with scrambled eggs. I would never touch the stuff, especially since the precursor protein for Cruzfeldt-Jakob disease has been identified in both species

Lots of foreigners think we Scots are weird because we eat haggis - which I LOVE!

The weirdest thing I've ever eaten is Durian fruit. The smell is overpowering. One mouthful, that's all I could manage.

Raccoon.

It was even worse than it sounds.

Ishbel R. Aug 14, 2009, 5:59pm EDT

Now, whilst I will try most things... raccoon?

Kris M. Aug 14, 2009, 6:02pm EDT

A relative had cooked it (don't ask) and I tried it because he dared me to. I think that was when I learned it isn't always a bad thing to back down from a dare.

Ishbel R. Aug 14, 2009, 6:09pm EDT

As my sainted Mum would say 'If he asked you to stick your hand in the fire, would you?'.....!!

Kris M. Aug 14, 2009, 6:19pm EDT

Not anymore!

Ishbel R. Aug 14, 2009, 6:22pm EDT

Eventually, one becomes sensible!

Melanie M. Aug 15, 2009, 11:45am EDT

We had a raccoon in our yard that kept getting in our garbage cans, and a friend of DH's gave us a trap for it. So we caught it - and he ate it. He eats squirrels too.

I haven't had anything too weird outside of escargot (love it), eel, and I think that's it.

Angela K .. Sep 2, 2009, 1:55am EDT

I got tricked into tasting Raccoon.....talking about dark meat....whoa, it was black stringy yuck.

Mountain oysters, but I wasn't told what they were until after I took a bite, then I went and threw up.

Dog....I know, I know! It was bad.

I didn't know it at the moment - was in Israel and eating in a certain area where dog meat was pretty common. I, along with quite a few others in my group found out our meatballs weren't cow after all, but were dog after a few bites. We were eating at a buffet and some of the other choices looked pretty scary - but the meatballs looked relatively normal...
I was horrified! It is not tasty at all - very greasy!

Cyndi B. Aug 14, 2009, 7:24pm EDT

Our tour guide let us know as soon as he could. He was out with the bus driver while parking. We had all gone in to start eating....

EWW! seaweed drink sound awful and super salty! I have eaten baby food over the years, plus all different kinds of meat-horse, crocodile, etc. the weirdest though no doubt is my moms raspberry limeade cake-no lie

I went to a pot-luck dinner on base.When my first husband was in the Navy. one of the other wifes was from Japan. She ask me to try what she had brought. It was squid. It wasn't that bad. Was a little bit rubbery.So Squid is your answer

Balut. I think. I don't know - I've eaten some strange things over the years. I'll try just about anything, just for the experience of it - PROVIDED I'm reasonably sure it won't kill or incapacitate me.
