I tried oysters for the first time the other day.

Reminded me of the sea it did

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

When I was in france on a 'well done for staying at college for two years' trip I tryed snails and oysters.

I was nearly sick with the snails

The oysters wernt alot better! Reminded me of flem!

I wont soil nsc with what a lady friend of mine said they reminded her off!

Have had snails in Belgium, with a mustard sauce, however you dress them up it is still like eating elastic bands.

Perhaps we could have a competition to see who has eaten the strangest things. I will start you off with guinea pig, a bit like chicken but greasier and with very little meat on it.

 

[Drumstick]

not that strange but when I was in africa we had roasted goat over an open fire.

 

[Gully]

I like the sound of goat, unless you were just kidding!

 

[Drumstick]

no honest to god, its actully very nice!!

That must've been painfull!

Crocodile is surprisingly nice, I had that in Malawi and Cuba.

Cuy was an unusual choice, but tasted a lot like chicken.

It is Guinea Pig to you and I.

 

[Gully]

That is pretty much what I had, cuy al horno, or roasted guinea pig. Apparently they flatten it between two stones and roast it that way.

Quite tasty if you can get past the 'I had one of these when I was a kid'. I watched them pluck one of the kitchen floor and break its neck.

ive had Llama in Bolivia

 

[Gully]

Haven't knowingly eaten Llama, had the guinea pig in a place called Arequipa in Peru, never kept one as a pet though.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Thrushes.

Delicious.

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

Japanese resturant in Lyon - Never, ever again.

8 courses of f*** knows what? Didn't even give me a spoon for the rice? :thud:

 

[Woodchip]

I never used to like Salmon, but tried it again about 3 years ago and liked it (a lot), to find out last year that I'm allergic.

Isn't life full of funny little quirks!!!

 

[Easy 10]

I've just had a Cheeky Chicken. Christ knows what the meat actually was, but it was quite nice. Plenty of mayo.

Did a similar sort of thing at a Japanese Tea restaurant in Tokyo.

When I asked what we were eating, the advice was to not ask, especially the white jelly stuff which exploded in my mouth when swallowing.

Turned out to be a sac of fish sperm.

 

[Robot Chicken]

Cuy was an unusual choice, but tasted a lot like chicken.

I read that human flesh tastes like chicken too.

I only tried Marmite for the first time last year. Now I love the stuff.
