Default Most unusual food you have eaten?

What's the most unusual, 'extreme' food you have eaten and what did it taste like? I just watched a TV program that was basically all about cooking/eating alligators and just the thought of it is pretty scary to me.I will not eat frogs legs or snails either .What about everyone else? (I can not watch those Survivor episodes when they have to eat live bugs or cow brains )

I'm not into unusual food consumption but I do really enjoy escargot (snails) in a nice wine sauce. That is all I've ever eaten which might be considered "unusual". Friends were trying to goad me into sampling squid a few weeks ago, but that was not happening. How about you?

Hmm, I guess the most unusual food I've eaten is dog meat. But I didn't know at that time what it was, they were laughing at me coz I thought it was chicken. And they only told me after I was done eating.

I have eaten alligator; it's quite tasty. (At Pappadeaux).

I've also eaten escargot several times and liked it.

This was extreme for me.. I do not like seafood, but was in Mexico with my at the time fiances parents and fiance--first time meeting them by the way--they were footing the bill in this nice seafood restaurant.

I can tolerate shrimp..but not the kind I ordered. It didn't even taste like it was cooked all of the way and was soaking in some kind of red sauce...it tasted SOOO bad.. I went to the bathroom and threw up...

twice.

We go to Greece every few years and eat goat and lamb... that in itself is not too wierd. I love both of them. But the last time we were there our neighbors were making a soup out of the heads of two goats...eyes..ears..toungue, brain...it was all in there. We tried it. Didn't like it.

Geez - I guess I am not "adventurous" in that department. But after high school I was working for a large bank downtown and Woolworth's (who remembers that place???) was right across the street and every morning we would get off the bus behind Woolworth's, run in the back door and buy a fresh hot glazed fry cake and a couple packages of ketchup to put on it - and run out the front door and across the street to work. That's my "unusual" food.
