What is the strangest food you have tried?

I think mine is hasma tong sui, which is a Chinese soup dessert made out of dried frogs fallopian tubes cooked with rock sugar

When I was in Spain on a language course, I stayed with a local family, and on the first day they sent me out with a packed lunch - a big thick pack which I assumed was several sandwiches. It was one sandwich, with doorstep bread, and a filling of cold boiled potatoes.

Sounds delicious! Was it?
The strangest thing I have eaten is probably ox tongue, so….I haven't really eaten anything strange.

What's strange about that? It's a variation on a chip butty.

It was okay, not awful by any means. It's pretty popular in Singapore though.

Duck Hearts and Calves Brains are fairly unusual I guess. Liked both of them.

Probably duck's tongues. Quite tasty but my brain couldn't get over the fact that a duck's tongue has a bone in it. Seems wrong, somehow.

Fried grasshopper in Uganda.

Porcupine stew (can't remember which African country). We only found out when we came to the little 'feet' at the bottom of the pan.

Cat in Madagascar. Again - we didn't know at first. It was only when we realised that some of the 'chicken' skin had fur on it..

Does that mean you avoid all foreign food on the off chance you don't know what's in it?

A guinea pig.
Gutted and spatchcocked but all intact - teeth, claws etc.
Looked like a road kill.
I was on a shared table and the person next to me moved table.

Chicken claws - not sure what they're about unless you love rolling knuckles around your mouth and spitting them out.
This is true:
I asked the waiter "What are chicken claws like?"
He paused, held his hand up in a claw shape and said "Dey like dis".

Bear and reindeer burger

Absolutely amazing.
(The bear was only shot because it wondered into town btw!)
