Chicken's blood, meat, feet
Duck's tongue, feet, gizzard
Frog (I've skinned them before)
Pig's lung, intestines, snout, ears
Monkey (part of an arm my mum got back when I was 10)
Sea cucumber
Abalone
Shark's fin
Snake
Bird's spit (bird's nest)
Fish maw (fish air bladder, dried and toasted in sand or salt, it puffs up to a crisp spongey thing).
Preserved eggs - the black ones with the green yolks
Salted duck yolks
Seahorse soup - smelt like the sea, or like seaweed soup and tastes like cod liver oil
Antelope horn
Dried musk deer tail - revolting stuff, its cut into thin slivers and then steamed in brandy.
Real ginseng root - not that bad, but raises the blood pressure though.
Crocodile meat, albeit dried and then soaked before cooking. Very tough.

Thanks guys for reminding me of some other strange things I forgot to mention...

Goat is a little out-of-the-way, I only know one restaurant here that serves it

I've had buffalo, squab, shark, quail, crayfish, and I've of course eaten snails, and frogs-legs and caviar

Once I ate a chicken's foot, but I didn't think it tasted good enough to bother getting over the revulsive shock of putting a chicken's foot in my mouth.

I think the only thing I ever encountered in a restaurant that really and truly grossed me out was a Chinese place that served pig stomach with blood cubes...

GOAT? Oh, hell, YEAH!!! Actually it's probably my favorite kind of "land" meat, but as you mention, it's hard to find. It sometimes turns up on south or west Asian, or African, menus. There is (or was?) a Trinidadian restaurant in the University district of Seattle that had WONDERFUL goat roti, about two years ago. I wonder if it's still there?

Yes, I had buffalo at a town festival in the Ozarks (Greenfield MO) back in the 70s - yum!!! And snails, which are usually "over-saturated" with butter...frog legs many times! (Frog legs seemed to be the most prevalent and popular in the 1980's - rarely saw them around in the Seventies - but I never see them on menus anymore. For one thing, frog populations have crashed in recent years, I think. It's at least 7 years since I've seen a frog rolling around in one of those tiny wheelchairs, LOL.)

Your Chinese restaurant experience reminded me of the duck's blood soup at a Polish restaurant in Hamtramck MI - a delicacy in Poland but I didn't care much for it. Now awful, either, though. I think that WOULD have to be the strangest thing I've eaten, if not the chocolate-covered bees that some good liquor-and-party stores used to carry years ago.

I did once enjoy some spectacular smoked eel from a street vendor in Amsterdam. -T.

No doubt I'll need to travel seriously to find and try durian, but I'm not in any hurry to try it either. I had eel in September in Honolulu at a big Japanese supermarket, and I knew that I'd really like it (and did) - I am generally VERY fond of fish.

Monkey (part of an arm my mum got back when I was 10)
Abalone
Bird's spit (bird's nest)
Fish maw (fish air bladder, dried and toasted in sand or salt, it puffs up to a crisp spongey thing).

But I'm not in any hurry to scoop the brains out of an opened-up monkey skull while the monkey is still alive, which I've heard they do somewhere in Asia (Viet Nam?)...

Abalone soup with seaweed..YUM!!!!!!!! I haven't had that since the Eighties. An uncle (a Filipino) used to make it, and it was wonderful...I haven't even seen canned abalone for sale anymore, even in Asian stores in California. Is the species extinct?

I often include seaweed as one of my ingredients when I make turkey or chicken soup.

I had bird's nest soup in Toronto in the 70s and I'm sure it was authentic - and good!

The fish maw actually sounds delicious, as long as it's not too-too salty...

Here's a picture of my plate. A smoked and salted sheep's head. My family eats it once a year – it's one of those odd Norwegian traditions. Parts of it is a bit nasty, but the jaw muscle is some of the best meat I know of.

As for other weird things, I guess frog, rabbit and sea urchin counts.

My friend's cock - hey I was in High School at the time and it was weird at the time. More of a delacacasy today though!!!

 

[neruda]

Ratsnake meat for me
Though I must admit it was soft and quite delicious...

 

[geloge]

I'm spanish, half of our food is strange.
salt cured meat, I love that.
And casquería (entrails), sometimes i would like to live anywhere but Spain; cayos (pig small intestines), sesos (brains) criadillas (bull nuts)
tongue, careta (pig face), manitas (pig feet), kidneys, liver. I supposse that for more of you this is strange food, at least for me it is.

Pickled pigs feet
Pork brains in scrambled eggs
Baked racoon

I ate some weeds out of a sewage pond once as a bet - got 100 bucks and in those days it was a lot. It's post treatment so I only got a little sick from it...it did taste like crap tho..

I think I'M gonna be sick!

I tried raccoon last night... it was less than appetizing, but I had to try it nonetheless. This guy also had smoked squirrel... aren't they simply rats with a fuzzy tail? *gag* I think that's the end of my adventurous eating...

Mountain oysters with cum sauce.
