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

Muskrat. Not a bad eat, as long as you are ok with an oily red meat with a slighty funny smell. It went down, and stayed there.

Opossum, Raccoon , Canned Rattlesnake, Chitlins, Squirrel Brains and Eggs, American Puffer Fish to name a few.

It doesn't look that bad English bloke

Lots of eyeball tasters here. What are they like? Texture? Flavor? I have always been curious.

I agree somewhat odd to see a strange food post somewhere that only days before I had been reading about haggis cooking recipes. My list though would include haggis, pan fried calf testicles (actually not bad if eaten still warm on a roll with a little butter and slice of onion), possum/raccoon stew, blood sausage, and various "delicacies" prepared by the wife of a good Korean friend that I dared not ask what they included. All I knew was that she talked about how hard it was to find a place in America willing to sell the bits she needed for the meal.

I tell my wife all the time that alot of the weird things i have eat/eat are just a matter of perception. things those of us living in the states think of as gross and disgusting really aren't we just perceive them to be so. Basically i try to be a bit more open minded on things and am willing to try things. surprisingly i like most of it and though some of it wouldn't order at a restaurant i'd eat again if offered to me in someones home.

Dog. Korea. Friend's wedding. Two days of my life were a haze. Enough said.

(For the record, Catholics & Koreans are both groups who know how to party. HARD!!!)

I ate a chocolate covered grasshopper once, but I was almost forced to. It wasn't pleasant, but it wasn't as nasty as I thought it would be. It was a brave action for me. I have a thing about insects, entomophobia. They're fine over there, but don't touch me.

I've also recently had thousand year old egg which isn't that odd for some people, but was certainly outside my realm of experience. It wasn't bad at all. I'd eat that again in a flash.
