For me - nothing. Embarassed

Unless you want to include alligator, which isn't all that weird.
I forgot - I tried pig brains once. Never again...

Probably cactus. It was way back when as a young Marine I had been out in the field for a week or two on the island of Vieques (near Puerto Rico). I was tired, filthy, very hot, and hungry. And I didn't want to eat the huge centipedes so the next thing that was in abundance was cactus. So, me and a couple others hacked up a nearby cactus with our kabars and chowed. I'm sure there is a cactus variety somewhere that is very tasty....this wasn't it...It sucked but was easy pickins...so we ate....then tried to find a place to get out of the sun. Ah, to be young again!

Thanks for the heads up I hope my BIL gets a tag this year, if he does, I should be on for a haunch if he can pack it out for me, I'll tell him to make sure it's skinned asap, it probably will be, as his friends like the skins and other trophies! Wink

Armadillo and possum. The armadillo wasn't much tot alk about, but the fried possum wasn't too bad!

Both were during group cooks where we all tried to have the most "exotic" meat... Kinda sad in comparison to what some have mentioned so far; Baluot and scorpion, Hmm, I'll just have water. Laughing

Bear isn't bad, I had that in NM a few years ago and loved it.

Yogerman... now I better understand the expression "load of tripe", that picture really brings things into focus. Gi'e me a presentation Haggis any day over that lot!!

The weirdest thing.... BBQ Chicken Feet's. {BBQ in the sense that a lot of BBQ sauce was involved} This was in Korea. I thought I was eating some weird exotic fare. Turns out the local Chicken farm exports chicken feet's to Korea. And yes.. while I was in Korea I did sample a certain 'exotic' meat that tastes like skank nasty, musky, stringy, less than prime Mutton.

What one person considers weird, May be daily table fare for others.

The egg that is let to develop partially into a chicken and buried in the sand to ferment, I belive the correct spelling is "Balut" almost any Asian mart should have these in the cooler They are typically marked with "B" on the shell in marker.

I have helped prepare chicken feet, Sweetbreads, tripe, and a host of other items people may consider odd.

As a child my grandfather would always be preparing squid and octopus, I did not know it was a delicacy until I was of school age. It is just what we ate for Sunday dinner along with huge amounts of Pasta, fresh and cured sausages, excellent crusty breads, Fava beans, and wonderful hard and soft Italian cheeses.

Walleye cheeks?? really Roxy?? what is weird about that? in this area it is considered the best part of the fish! And so many people are not aware of them.
How about sturgeon roe right out of the fish with a little seasoning, I am talking eating it on the shore right after the fish is caught.

I have a few pounds of bear meat in the freezer right now, I will probably do a bear/beef pepperoni with it.

In Europe, there is a poultry dish that is a whole cooked baby bird just hatched, Can anyone think of the name of that? Beak, guts, feet, and all, your supposed to stuff the whole thing in your mouth and feel the bones crunching while you chew and it's guts squirt out into your mouth. Seen it, never tried it!

Stink fruit?? Bitter melon? Limburger cheese? Flying fish Roe (Tobiko, it is like a party in your mouth!)

Wasn�t really weird but I sure didn�t like them! When I was in Far East Russia, I had some dried up, flat and horribly salty fish. I ate it because it was offered from a very poor bunch of people but it didn�t taste very good.

Harry love the roe with some crackers.
