What's the weirdest meal you've ever eaten?

[Jimbo Gomez]

The thread title is simple enough. I'm talking about food, not something you accidentally ingested.

I'm not a very exotic eater, I can't even think of something I had that's weird enough to mention here. But I know there are lots of culinary adventurers out there, so who knows what surprising things we may read here.

Rabbit. It looked like fried chicken, I mistook it for fried chicken. But it tasted different.

When I was younger I sat at dinner tables where squirrel was served but passed on it . Squirrel eating seems to have fallen out of favor over the last 30-40 years.

I ate squirrel, bear, and a few other critters as a kid. More recently, I made a stir fry out of the last appearance of the 17 year cicada.

I guess the weirdest thing would be frog legs

Rabbit wierd? I had to eat that at least once a week for years! I have had squirrel but I think the oddest thing would probably be some of the wild plants and fungi I eat,

Beefsteak fungus is going to win.

Well, in South Africa I ate biltong of various kinds of animal ... including hippopotamus, giraffe and antelope. But I consider these more "normal" than seafood, which I only consumed on very special occasions.

I've eaten bat ray.

For those who don't know what it is, it's related to sharks, and they have urea in their flesh, and it's nasty! You're supposed to soak the meat in either milk, baking soda water, or lemon juice and that is supposed to neutralize the urea, but it doesn't!

I ate durian in Malaysia (the smelly fruit); it had a delicious subtle flavour.

Really, that is all I can think of that could possibly be 'weird'.

I've eaten squirrel, rabbit, bear, moose...but those aren't weird.

I have tried kangaroo jerkey. Is that weird? It tasted like every other jerkey.

I've decline those also. But they are considered a delicacy in some parts of the US. Some people think it is weird to decline frog legs.

Some people keep rabbits as pets. That's what makes it weird.

I thought squirrel eating was something done only in parts of the rural US. People actually eat them in other places? I always thought squirrels were almost-rodents.

I've have had game meat before, deer venison, wild boar & bison (though the bisons are now raised on ranches & are no longer in the wild in the US). I didn't think of it as weird though.
