What is the most exotic or strange food you've eaten? I ate jellyfish at a Vietnamese wedding. It was marinaded in something sweet because I can't imagine it having flavor (like tofu) on it's own
Growing up in Haiti, we had often scrambled cow brains for breakfast, and boiled cow tongue was my favorite sandwich meat for school lunches..tastes like squid-or ostrich.
Canned rattlesnake. Maybe fresh and grilled, it would have been palatable. Sea cucumber isn’t exotic but was strange to me. Served whole on a plate, it was like eating semi-firm slime.
Pickled Devil's Claws. My aunt made them and they were seriously good. The oddest thing I've ever cooked is probably the cactus apple jelly. It was really good but it was a serious pain to make. I've cooked lots of different birds and fish. My first husband hunted and fished. I had a rule, if it looks like it could have come from a grocery store, I'll cook it. What ever he killed appeared in my kitchen ready to cook.
In case you're wondering what the hell a Devil's Claw is. This is what they look like in the fall. To make pickles you pick them in the spring while they're still green and cut the claw off.
I have eaten Dulse. This is a type of seaweed that grows on the north coast of Northern Ireland. It is dried and sold in some of the shops around Ballycastle and the Giant’s Causeway. It tastes a bit like pork scratchings (an English snack food made from roasted pork fat).
Probably a toss up between guinea pig (Cuey), Agouti (a swamp rat), Iguana and Python.
