I spent 20 years in the military and made it to a lot of places around the world. I ate a lot of things. Why? I don't know. I've had:
Camel, horse, peacock, lizard, snail, monkey, dog, rat,snake, "ranger stew" (anything you can find under a rock or crawling on the ground and stick in a pot), haggis, squid, octopus and balut... look it up... google an image. No, I won't eat balut again.

on the note of balut... well,i remember seeing it on the tv.
they said it was a pretty much day to day thing in some countries, what did it taste of?
also, has anyone come across the documentary were they eat tarantulas?
After seeing that i was a bit shocked, but thats down to having a bunch as pets

Hahaha I havent thought of Fear Factor in forever! I used to watch it every monday night when it was on. My dad and I actually sent in an application for the family episode, but we missed the deadline. I don't think i've ever eaten anything too weird though...the most exotic food ive ever eaten though was a fruit i ate in guatemala called a leecha...at least i think thats the spelling. it looks llike a multi colored nurf ball on the outside with all the tentacles and stuff, but on the inside its a fruit that has the consistincey of a thin jello...its like candy over there. its my favorite fruit now though!

I'd make sure the hens are vaccinated against Salmonella before doing that.
Food poisoning is a bitch.
Also, don't forget where the eggs come from.
Hens don't have a special hole for eggs and another for shit...

How about "Menudo" - and not the Mexican boy band...
My wife and I were Jones'n for some of this delectible treat one hungover Saturday morning - okay Late Saturday morning, and I stumbled upon this restaurant that looked like a house... okay, it was a house, that looked like a restaraunt... anyway.
I go in an order two large servings of this delicious soup/stew/traditional Mexican hangover cure from this lady that looks like my wife's grandmother. I do this in my best Spanish, and I pat myself on the back for talking coherently in any sort of language at that point...
She says something about a "pata", and I wasn't really listening, so I did my best improv and inferred "sure, go ahead, whatever, weird old lady". She ladles this shit into these ultra-large styrofoam vessels, and I am so pleased with having procured our necessary "medicine", I give my "muchas gracias", paid, and away I went.
So, "Menudo" is a sort of stew made with cow stomach as the main ingredient, combining this with hot red chili, garlic, cumin, and onion to season, and corn hominy added at the last who knows when of cooking - but it's fucking good, and it's a regular in "these here parts...".
What I wasn't listening to, was that "pata" is actually "foot", like "animal foot", and more specifically in this instance (and in all Menudo instances) "pig's foot"... which mine happened to have a healthy heaping of. Now, I know this, but it was a difficult morning, and I'm not great at "fast" Spanish, and I was really just trying to get out of that place. So I dig in to my wonderfully brilliant, liquidy red/brown experience only to notice a huge lump of flesh, which I continued to attempt to consume... when I arrived at... what I can only describe as... a knuckle.
My Spanish improved 1000%, right then and there.
But it was delicious...
