I'm pretty adventurous when trying new foods. If I don't like it, I won't have it again. :shrug:
I've tried escargot, chitlins, eel, pigs feet, calamari, octopus, gator, possum, elk, squirrel, sweetbreads, tripe, bird's nest soup, kim chee, and a host of other things. The only thing I've refused to try (so far) are insects.

When I was a kid I hated cow tongue. When I smelt it cookin in Momma Rugg’s kitchen I used to hide in the barn and when she called us for supper I would act like I didn’t hear her. A course when I did come in after supper was done I got a whoopin but that that whoopin was well worth it for not havin to eat tongue. It creeped me out with the taste buds on it an all. But now I don’t mind it much. I like it best pickled but I am fond of stewed tongue too and cow tongue sandwich. I gotta say Cow tongue is good as long as I don’t know what cow it come from. I don’t reccon I would like to eat a tongue what has licked me before.MMDad said:

I'm munching on dried seaweed right now, and popping wasabi covered peas. I left the kimchee in SoMD, but will buy another jar locally.
I'll try ANYTHING. If I don't like it, I won't eat it again.
Pretty much everything that has been mentioned (including the grasshoppers) I have tried, and liked.
I had monkey on a stick in the Phillippines
, and God knows what else.
I'm still convinced it was the water that made me sick (brushing my teeth with tap water...UGH)
It was a bummer in 2004, when we didn't have the Cicada invasion here on the Eastern Shore like we were supposed to.
I grew up in the deep South. I never had the opportunity to try chitlins. I have some in my freezer now. I'm reading all the recipes online, and will be trying that soon.
Life is an adventure.
Rose? I have an oyster here for you.

Deep-fried bumblebees. They're kinda semi-tasteless.
Rattle snake, cow's tongue, didn't care for either, but I tried them.
We get (4 years now) insect lollipops for our students each year. We teach a unit on fossils and the lollipops resemble "amber"...one kid ate the head off the grasshopper in her lollipop and quickly spit it out!
I'll eat the candy, then throw it away when I get close to the bug. Go to www.hotlix.com, they have a lot of other "interesting" food.

I went to a buffet in Sasebo last year. Some dishes were obvious - no doubt what your eating when it's smoked mackeral - but some of it was impossible to tell. Who knows what I may have eaten. One of the guys I was working with was married to a Japanese woman, and he couldn't identify some of the stuff.onebdzee said:Lived in Okinawa for 2 and a half years so I'm not exactly sure of what I ate while I was there(language barrier)
