Crazy Food You Have Eaten
What mad things have you tried over the years? Did you like it? My husband had alligator in America when he was a teenager, and said he thought it was chicken nuggets. I haven't tried anything mad, my diet is relatively normal lol.

Had a crack at frogs legs.
Basically like tough rubbery chicken. And really quite underwhelming. |

Not all of the ones on my list are especially crazy, but maybe a bit different than everyday food for me.
I've had alligator (tastes like fishy chicken), antelope, armadillo, squirrel, frog legs, snails, cockles, laverbread, deer heart and liver (and all the regular venison cuts), wild boar, goat, bison and cow tongue. That's all I can think of for now but I'm sure there are more. Edited to add: Mexican chorizo, which is made with pigs salivary glands and lymph glands. When I don't think about what it is, I like it. And black pudding, which I didn't really care for much. |

In Malaysia I tried Durian, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian it's disgusting and the smell of it is so horrid and overpowering it's banned in taxi's and most hotels.
I also tried some kind of egg (we weren't told) that had been rotting in ash for 3 weeks, that was okay just a bit salty. |

I've not eaten durian - the smell was so vile I nearly threw up - but my husband loved it! Said it was like mushy mango. I think he had blocked sinuses at the time, lol.
Eaten lots of weird things all over the world - guinea pig (delicious ), fried jelly fish, alligator, squirrel etc etc, and did not mind any of them.But the very, very worst was monkey brains. I feel sick just thinking about it even now, 30 years later. We had been taken out for a chinese feast by a business friend of my parents in Singapore. We sat at a round table which spun round with all sorts of dishes on it. Most were easily identifiable and delicious, but this grey mess tasted a bit odd and luckily I only took a bit. Apparently it is a real delicacy. Well, perhaps, but not for me. |

I adore durian, it's my favourite fruit! Hoping to go to Malaysia next June when it's durian season. Yum yum yum!
I was over there in July, I can't quite remember the taste but i think i thought it was okay at first, the progressed to get awful! The after taste really wasn't nice! We tried it in the cameron highlands- all the locals thought it was hilarious watching us try it. |

I'd admit that when I first tried the combination I was slightly drunk and had the munchies but I tried it again the next day and it was still ok

When I was very young I loved condensed milk sandwiches, or the same between two cream crackers. I preferred mine when the tin was newly opened. I'm very much older now and prefer to live with the childhood memory.

Reindeer burgers in Finland
![]() Didn't know they were reindeer at the time ![]() I was starving though as breakfast was all crispbread type things. I know Finland has a lot of trees but there is only so much wood you can eat

I have had rook and squirrell, pretty tasty actually. Rook was very very gamey, almost bitter. Squirrell was a little like hare, but higher in taste.
I have eaten at the Fat Duck and had some pretty wacky stuff there too, all fantastic though. |

My Dad used to like a meal called pigs fry.
It was basically about 4 different types of pig ofal fried in a pan at the same time. It stank the house out and my Mum was nearly puking while she was cooking it for him. |
