I really like Gator on a Stick from New Orleans!
I wonder what that would taste like.
In the game Fallout, Iguanna on a stick was really people. (Different topic, but thats what comes to mind any time somebody mentions a reptile on a stick)
Weirdest food...A Cantonese place I was taken to one year where we ate assorted snakes, lizards, and other odd creatures I didn't know was edible.
Oddest part of the night...Shots of snake blood said to be not only an aphrodesiac but quite good.
I'm not a blood junkie so I stuck to my coke...or at least to god I hope that's what it was at the time.

not to adventerous
when I watched Indiana Jones when I was younger the food scene scared me so much I knew I would never be very daring with food.
I would probably more along the type to combine normal foods into something odd, instead of the type to make odd foods into something normal
I've become like that these days...being adventerous got me REALLY sick a few times. That's never fun. Plus some stuff you really have to of been raised eating to like it...and stomach it.Originally Posted by ForrestBlack
I had aligator bbq once, but you know people in the south will make anything into bbq.
Well I tried to edit my non-message up there, but it won't let me. Oh well, it *was* a post, I swear. *pout* Don't have the energy to re-write it.
Let's just summarize it to say - anything interesting I've ever tried food-wise )or any other-wise) was in New Orleans!
chicken feet: tried, very good, now I love them
blood pudding: haven't tried yet, don't know if I will
duck head: tried, was crunchy and burnt; was worried about brains tasting weird so I spat the head out
escargot: tasted like rubber bands dipped in sauce
shark's fin soup: tasted like chicken soup
frogs, lizards, etc.: haven't come across really
ostrich burger: too chicken to taste it
Sauteed bugs: had my chance in Thailand but was too chicken
Pickle & peanut butter sandwich: at burning man, I was starving, and it was actually good-- but I wasn't sober at the time so who knows
Ox tail: my mom tricked me, but it tasted like chicken soup. However I kept thinking an ox tail was right next to an ox a-hole and that made me reluctant to eat any more.
I LOVE -- I mean REALLY LOVE -- food adventures. I will try almost any sort of weird food at least once. Maybe again incase it wasn't done right the first time.
Alligator on a stick tastes good, is convenient to eat while walking, and make ya really feel at the top of the food chain.
I love Gator! Next time you are in Louisiana, head over to Grosse Tete. There is a little place called Tiger Truckstop. Ya ya, it sounds strange, but the place rocks. Order up some red beans and rice with gator sausage.Originally Posted by ForrestBlack
I love trying new and weird foods. I have had:
Gator
Escargot (love it, Captain Jacks in Sunset Beach has the best)
Ostrich
Buffalo
Frog Legs
Rattlesnake
Iguana (God Bless El Salvador)
Tongue (Stinks like crap while cooking, but sure tastes good)
Brain
Blood Sausage
Fry it, boil it, saute it, whatever, and feed it to me.

Off topic: If I went to Louisinna, I would be sure to bring tons of beads =)

I'll admit I'm not adventurous at all when it comes to food. My luck I'd end up getting sick.
A more interesting combo resulting from not wanting the blood of ground lamb going to waste was actually pretty good:
Cooked Lamb Blood, Salt, and Bread
It probably says something about me that the only ones of those I've never tried are Rattlesnake or Iguana, but I'm totally impressed that you've eaten some bizarro foods I've never had the opp too. I want details on those two! Taste, texture, occasion to eat 'em, everything?Originally Posted by junction
sea urchin
yuck
That probably tasted like a crushed shell, mixed with sand dollarsOriginally Posted by Zoe_Zoebaboe
Sea urchin is without a doubt the grossest weird food I ever tried. Like a giant ball of slightly crusty snot wrapped in seaweed. No amount of soy sauce and wasabi is enough to make that edible.Originally Posted by Zoe_Zoebaboe
I think in the right hands it can be good...but you'd have to like the texture of it to begin with. I'm a sucker for sea food though...the weirder the better.Originally Posted by AmeliaG
I am totally a seafood person. Lobster, crab, eel, raw fish, cooked fish, bring it on! But sea urchin was just over my comfort zone line.Originally Posted by Tequila Zaire
You fry it, I'll eat it. I've eaten a lot of "interesting" things...Alligator, snakes, frogs, rabbits, sharks, thumb tacks, "strippers", pills, bugs, dirt...lots of stuff.

How does fried stripper taste?Originally Posted by Vaughn
Just a bit "gamey". Careful you wash it first or it will numb your lips.Originally Posted by AmeliaG
Goes best with a fine imported beer or some sort of rum.Originally Posted by Vaughn
I find it best to pair with a cool, refreshing P.B.R.Originally Posted by Tequila Zaire
I had a "stew of rat" once... well not so bad!
%-}
In Demolition Man, they had Rat Burgers, although Im not so sure I would want to try that unless needed...
I once had 'english breakfast' ice cream- vanilla with bacon, sausages and eggs in it. it is alway srange to suck of little frozen bits of meat...
Ya know, I would try rat stew so long as I was sure it was cooked in a germ-killing environment, but I think I would have to draw the line at english breakfast ice cream. Had to read your post like four times to be sure that I actually had understood it the first timeOriginally Posted by vixta
lol
Chocolate Chip Mint Ice Cream& Spaghetti - Pasta & Ice Cream is probably an interesting combo. I dont know how to put into words how that combo tasted
gato burritos (cat burritos) Juarez,Mexico
I think there's not that much left, that i haven't gotten a bite of...
I had cow, horse, pig, chicken, turkey, wild boar, calamari, whale and seal (very common in Norway), in China I had cat and dog, eels and snakes, in France frogs and some grapevine snails, in Africa various types of insects and antilope, in Australia a kangaroo's tail and something that seemed to be a Koala (but to be honest, i didn't even dare to ask) as well as Ostrich and Shark, and in Argentina (I think it was Argentina) I had Guinea Pig on a stick...
But that's nothing compared to Haggis...
