Weird Food

Postby DaGip on Sat Mar 01, 2008 6:27 pm

I have eaten some strange foods. When I was a kid, I used to pick up ants and eat them, they tasted kind of tart and lemony! I am not opposed to eating bugs if I knew how to cook them? I have heard that grubs and grasshoppers in Mexican style dishes is awesome!

I like Sashimi (which is raw fish, especially Ahi Tuna). The difference between Sashimi and Sushi is that Sushi literally means with rice, so anything that is served with rice is technically considered a Sushi.

Now, in Hopi Land (the Hopi Reservation of Northern Arizona) I had many Blue Corn dishes. Samiviki is a blue corn tamale that is traditionally sweetened using the Mother's own saliva (thusly the revelation of the term Samiviki, which is to say bread made with saliva). However, this dish is more than likely to be made with sugar instead of mommy's lugies!

Now, I would say the strangest and weirdest food that I have ever tried was on the island of Kauai, which is a part of the state of Hawaii.

Basically, the Hawaiins gather Ope'e (barnacle mulusks that cling to the sides of the reef). You take a little native sea salt and you pluck the seaweed off the back of the barnacle. You place the seaweed and the salt on the fleshy part of the barnacle (which is still undulating, because it is still alive!) and then you take an empty Ope'e shell and scoop the living organism from its home and pop it in your mouth. The orange stuff that squirts out is the Mulusks reproductive organs, mmmm yummy!

You eat that? Yikes! I would be leery of such a dish as well as the rotten fish heads that the Inuit eat (I would never try that crap, as there have been many Inuit deaths attributed to the eating of that particular dish)

Yep, I eat that, and it's damn good, too. Though I'll admit that it's an acquired taste.

Chrysalis. A friend of mine ordered a bunch of stuff from an oriental store and it was one of the things he ordered just to see what the hell it is. Apparently it's better in stir fry, but a bunch of guys at work were all trying it. It was pretty strong, and had a beany texture. Mildly unpleasant. Great video though.

Yes! A must for every gourmand! If I can gather the ingredients, I will try. :P

I haven't had any of those parts, but I have had tongue and stomach from a cow.

Stingray is nice. But it's not really weird per se.

Octopus, rattlesnake, frog legs, snails, caviar (say what you want but that stuff is nasty), turkey nuts, sweet bread (read that bull nuts), chicken gizzards, beef tongue,

And things not quite common: dove (that was actually good), rabbit (also good, but just not right), bear, buffalo, ostrich, deer.

I would not make it on Fear Factor.

Lutefisk, fish soaked in lye.

Haggis has to be one of the most beutiful dishes there is, strange as the ingredients sound. I wouldn't even call it an aquired taste. Hard to describe though.

Balluts are incubated and fermented duck's eggs...and it is a philipino treat. When I lived in Arizona, I had a Philipino freind who used to talk about the damned things, I said that I would try them with him, if he brought me one. Luckily, he never did (Whew! #-o )

They have sheep heads like that on Iceland, too, I hear. But lutefisk isn't bad, though it's not my favourite food or something, I always used to think of it as something that happens at christmas and doesn't taste of much.

Do not eat fermented Fish Heads! Alaskan natives love this kind of thing, I can safely say that I will never try this dish! Lutefisk is enough for me, and I have yet to acquire a taste for that snot-like manifestation of fish! But FishHeads that lie in the ground rotting for months, they can just stick that one up their asses! (I heard the high is better that way)

Fermented herring is good though, it's never made me sick.
