    I have eaten asshole of a pig, but still.. somehow the idea of haggis just feels weird.

    That must've tasted like shit?

    no.....like chicken! Duh! :p

    I was at my old diving club's Burns Night supper in Edinburgh last weekend eating haggis too, though I have to admit I'm not really a fan of the stuff
  • wiseguywiseguy Playa
    i really liked it the one time i had it at the "halfway house" in edinburgh (though their black boar sausage won the award for best pub-food during my week there). took me some time before i talked myself into trying it though :p

    Wierdest thing Ive ever eaten was pigsbrain, they saved it for the blacksmith.. Oh and surströmming (rotted fish), but that was actually good.

    Haggis cant be all bad, i youve eaten asshole of pig, how can anything be worse than that? :p

    I decided against eating the head (internal bits and all) of the duck when we had peking duck in Beijing.
  • Lord RefaLord Refa Creepy, but in a good way
    I had the asshole of a pig in Taiwan, in hot pot.. and it was delicious.

    That haggis was pretty good too.. a bit similar taste to a kind of sausage we have in finland, called black sausage... musta makkara.

    Weirdest thing I've eaten would be electric eel (tasted like chicken crossed with tuna) or roast chicken heart (which tasted more like a nice steak)

    Its reputation is preceding its smell... haven't tried it though. I'm not that desperate. :D

    depending on where you are from these might be weird...

    Cat Patties
    Sauteed Dog
    Smoked Lambs Fat.
    Pizza with Marshmallows.

    I think those top my list of odd things I've eaten.

    YOU ATE A CAT!

    And you call yourself a christian lol
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    He hates cats. What amazes me is that he claims to have eaten dog. :)
  • A2597A2597 Fanboy
    Whats wrong with eating cats? Should get some of our Russian friends in here and see what they say. :)

    Anyhoo, the Dog was a stray served to us at a Restaurant in Kyrgyzstan, as was the smoked lambs fat. Cat was served in Ukraine. :)

    (All of the above on a mission trip. ;), you can't refuse food from those that are serving their best. But ultimately, cat tasted pretty darn good. (Especially as meat patties with catchup, though not bad in soup) Still on the menu should I make my way there again. :) The dog, hard to say, seeing as ours was a stray and not in the best of health, it probably isn't the best judge. However it gave us all horrible gas. 7 guys in a small room all with bad gas. Not a fun night, but highly memorable. LMAO)

    I missed the China trip this summer past. Such delicacies as cooked Bull Testicals, and brains...yum yum.
  • JohnnyOnTheSpotJohnnyOnTheSpot Banned by request
    ewwww


    sounds like you had fun though can't get any better than laughing with gas.

    Aside from the emotional attachment to the particular species, it's still just another form of meat. I don't quite understand [I]why[/I] the idea of eating the heart, brain, or gastrointestinal tract of something seems to be disgusting, but it just does. At the same time, I have no doubt that these same items have a high probability of tasting good due to the complex musculature or the high number of nutrients that are needed to sustain the tissue. That's some deeelicious thinkin' there, Mr. Chicken!

    For the same reason why we dislike everything we don't know. And we also eat with our eyes, so if it doesn't look good, we assume that it must taste bad.

    That's why we also have food coloring. When we eat something we have certain expectations and when we see something we don't know, we feel more or less appealed by its presentation.

    I saw an experiment once where they fed school children the same soup twice, once it was colored orange and once it was colored blue. You can guess which one they liked better even though both had the same basic ingredients.

    Are they still selling green ketchup in the US?

    Thats where youre wrong. Cats are our masters, and you dont eat your masters, now do you?
  • A2597A2597 Fanboy
    Well, guess they aren't MY masters. :)
    Don't get me wrong, I mean, I LOVE cats.

    Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Good. :)

    I think the only meats I'm particularly opposed to eating would be
    A: Anything human. While it might be tastey, it was a person, can't get past that one.

    B: Anything from the intestinal tract, and, just don't want something thats had fecal matter on it, no matter how well cooked.

    C: Animal Penises/testicals. I'm sorry, it's just wrong.


    Brains might be good, but I'm always reminded of this one...

    A2597, I'm betting you've had hot dogs before, in which case your points are all invalidated ;)

    My gf. But she said she stopped laying them now.
  • ChaosedChaosed Ranger
    Sea cucumber. It was just a small bit in the rice.
    I'm not a fan of slimey food.
  • A2597A2597 Fanboy
    Sanfam:

    Yes, but hot dogs are really just a blend of pork, beef, and chicken, in a sausage wrapping. They don't use intestines unless you get the really expensive kind. :)
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    I was more referring to the 'people' part of things ;)
  • A2597A2597 Fanboy
    Lmao!
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    Oh, also. A real casing on a hot dog or sausage is the best thing out there. Nothing else can adequately substitute it.

    I have had smoked lamb head, called "smalahove" in Norwegian
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment

    If you want weird a couple of delicacies from North Eastern México are not too be missed:

    [b]Machitos[/b]
    These are the inner organs (minus the kidneys) of a kid goat, wrapped in the intestines forming a short cylinder, cooked over coals.
    Serve with salsa and corn tortillas, together with some onions, lettuce and tomato.
    Even if it's all innards the taste is not that strong, since it has to be a suckling goat (which is usually sacrificed the old-school way, by bleeding them, the blood is used in a soup).
    The kidneys are no included since they are left attached to the body, to be served in a cut of the kid goat ("riñonada").

    [b]Cabecita[/b]
    The head of the kid goat, slowly cooked in a pit. You get to eat the eyes if you want, and you just have to open the skull to get at the brains, the tongue and cheeks might be the most normal.

    Just go to any "Cabrito" (kid goat) restaurant in the city of Monterrey (my birthtown) and other cities on North East Mexico and you can enjoy them.
    Both are actually good stuff.
    You could also skip the above and just eat the kid goat, slowly roasted over charcoal. Cabrito is actually very tasty.


    Beef brains ("sesos"), guts ("tripas"), are common taco fillings in México. Chicken hearts are not that unusual. I've had bull's testicles too (charcoal grilled, they are called "criadillas" in Spanish)

    In Houston, in a chinese restaurant, I ate beef lungs, and also jellyfish. In New Orleans I ate alligator legs and tail.

    I have yet to try a Haggis, but I sure want to.
