Thread: What is the strangest thing you have eaten?

DANG.....Ya'll given them sippi boys some ammo!!!!!!! Don't be surprised...Doh

When I was in the Air Force, I got stationed in Turkey for a couple years. My friends and I would eat at the local restaurants several times a week. As you could imagine, after a few months of this, I had tried everything they had to offer, and I liked it all.
Well, me and some friends decided to rent a car and go on a road trip one time, I think we were castle hunting. There's a lot of castle ruins in Turkey and they're fun to investigate. We ended up at a restaurant far from home, and they had some different things on the menu, but no one there spoke a lick of english, so I just ordered something. When I got my dish, I didn't recognize what it was at all, it just looked like a big slab of meat. So, I ate almost all of it before I realized that I was eating lambs tongue, and was enjoying it. It's not the first time I've had lambs tongue, just the first time I liked it. My parents or grand parents use to get pickled lambs tongue and pigs feet when I was a young kid. I never really cared for either one.

One of our local churches sponsored a wild game cook out got to sample racoon, beaver, armadillo, possum, gator, emeu, coyote. I quit after the beaver.

Puff Fish in Japan. Very good, very dangerous, and Whale Meat which is excellent.
