Found it on Wiki and it does sound nasty. First and only time I had grappa I was somewhat over-served. . . went to the Minneapolis airport the next morning in a blizzard and I swear they were spraying the rest of the grappa on the 747's control surfaces

Balute (not sure on the spelling) it's from the Philippines. If you know it, you know how nasty it is. If you don't, you don't want to know.

Got to taste some Pennsylvania sweet crude oil at Drake's Well in Titusville, PA on Tuesday. Does that count?

Someone at work brought in some little snack boxes of deep-fried brown crickets acquired somewhere in the Middle East, I think. They were in the usual potato chip flavors: salt-and-vinegar, bbq, plain salted, etc. Quite crunchy and tasty!

The strangest things that I've eaten are: llama tongue, and sheep's blood jello.

Cow Stomach, in Paraguay. Tasted like nothing, chewed like rubber, and had the texture of what a dried up water hole in the middle of a desert looks like. Yeah, that's how I remember it.

I don't know what it was...and I still don't want to know...but whatever it was, it was in Singapore. And I hope it doesn't make its way here.

If you could describe it, I can better NOT tell you what it is...

Sitting at a sushi bar in Japan trying to eat this revolting slimy textured goop- with chop sticks. When I asked my friend she claimed she didn't know how to say it... of course, she damn well did! "Cod testicles!" exclaimed my friend's father. It was a delicacy, and very expensive, apparently...

Anyway, once I knew, it didn't really help. But being the polite guest that I am, I did my best to finish it. Getting as much as possible with the chop-sticks :S and firing it as quickly as possible down my throat with the aid of SOME nice Japanese beer. Needless to say, I have never in my life been so drunk at dinner. I was actually sliding off the the bar-stool.

Everything else I ate there was great (I actually love Japanese food), but those slimy bloody testicles!

Cheers,

Michael

Baloot - fermented duck egg embryo

Not my cup of tea either. I prefer Milk Bone dog biscuits with Limberger cheese followed by habenero sauce. Quite tasty.
