Weird foods ?

So what is a weird food to you ? I had for the first time in my life yesterday a Blood Orange. Seriously, these are real. It had red on the outside, and i thought it was a joke. Thought someone had colored it. When i opened it, it had a blood like color inside ! It freaked me out, but i ate it. I've had my fair share of weird foods in my life, but lately i have not. So your turn. Share a weird food you've had. Pictures if possible. Here is pictures of the blood orange, in case you think i was joking.

@hummer700: ahh. It's too bad ya missed the "high cholesterol" part,as an Indonesian myself,I do enjoy this..............whereas in Singapore,you are prohibited to consume/carry durian in a public transport/hotel, another prohibition is that you are not to drink wine,otherwise you disintegrate your stomach.

...for a weird culinary...I don't think anything is weird,except pig's organ soup..it was surreal at first,but it'll come by (I've eaten this for lunch and dinner) damn tasty,anyone want a sample?

Oh yeah, had it, really good. Especially after a party hardy time. All boozed up, have some of this and you'll be back to norm. The one i tried the soup was red, and dam delicious pig organs.

• Noni fruit drink - very healthy but it smells and tastes like old cheese
• Grasshopper - deep fried in chocolate
• Octopus tentacle - it was raw and the suction cups were chewy, I didn't like it
• Raw horse sashimi - Delicious!
• Raw chicken sashimi - also delicious
• Zult - it's the insides of a boiled pigs head, mashed into a blok of meat. Kind of tasty though
• Fugu - blowfish, highly toxic when not prepared right
• Haggis - different kinds of meat and unrecognisable things boiled in a stomach. It was okayish.
• Whale nuggets - tasted like chicken. I didn't know it was whale when I ate it.

These were the weirdest things I've eaten.

If a orange is weird to you i'd hate to see what you'd think of drunken shrimp or fried tarantulas.

Dude ! Are you for real ? Come on now. You can't be serious. are you ? Lol ..

Define "strange"

There's a bunch of things you eat regularily in Mexico that you can consider "strange"

Deep fried crispy gut tacos are one of my favorite; montalayo: blood, heart, onion, tomato, coreander all packed in a goat's stomach ---> heavenly; menudo: bovine stomachs, excellent to cure hangovers, of course, you need a beer to increase the healing; agave worms, ant larvae ( escamoles ), brains and spinal chord, cow and pig feet; meat from the head, tongues, deep fried crispy bubbled up pig skin ( pork rind) pickled pig skin, odd fruits ? We have plenty ( I hate guayabas ).

@LexLas: let him be,his stomach is on examination, and should I suggest another,it would be blodpudding,and a Filipino balut (I recall a moderator told of this..Korvus)

^that must be sannakji,a Korean daredevil.still no worse than ikizukuri,which is a literally live dish in Japan,another treat is that it got a very devilish glare,one mishandle..

BOOM! goes the eye...really didn't SEE that coming,and for the last..I come up with a more indecent dish(anyone remember haggling with an Icelander here,well I now realize what it is..it's called Hakarl)

I've tried the tentacle. It was rather chewy. Didn't like it.
Haggis - I remember trying it. It pretty much tasted like it smelled.
Chocolate covered ants - tasted like Raisinets. Not bad.

Chicken fried rattlesnake - it was very tasty.

You haven't seen a blood orange? Are you from phucking North Korea or something?

Anyway:

Chicken: heart, throat, spleen and kidney

Pig: Fried gastrointestinal tract

Snails

I ate one of those Doritos Locos tacos at Taco Bell. Not only weird but pretty gross as well.

Years ago on Christmas Eve we had some weird fruit that kind of numbs the mouth for a a few minutes.

Balut. It's basically a developing duck embryo egg cooked by boiling, but I like eating it except for the duckling bit.

people eat cats lizards bats and many more weird stuff in the philippines

That stuff looks like shit.

A blood orange constitutes weird food in your world TC? Aren't you the adventurous one.

As for me I love all kinds of variety meats which to my understanding aren't eaten in many parts of the world. If its chicken then its only the liver and heart/kidney/stomach that are considered edible here. As for cattle in general, its pretty much all edible from liver, kidney and stomach/intestines to lungs, brains, spleen and testicles. Spleen is quite the delicacy to me I absolutely love it.

Me adventurous ? Lol .. If you call speeding down the highway in a 68 Camaro, at 120mph adventurous, then ok. I don't really do much other then that these days, i'm kinda older now. When i was younger i ate stuff like Deer head, or Lizzard soup, or intestines, and such. These days, it's more like pizza and burgers, spaghetti. I think the most adventurous stuff i eat these days are like Oysters man. Lol ..

I was clearly being snide :3

I'm beginning to understand how growing older can indeed affect one's uninhibited drive and audacity in general but I don't see that affecting how adventurous one is willing to be when it comes to food. Personally I don't have many options to satisfy my sense of culinary adventurousness but I still get excited whenever I stumble upon a new brand of instant noodles and jump on the chance to try it, too excited I might add..

I watched Rhett & Link eat that on the Good Mythical Morning Show.

God, I nearly barfed.

Milk from a cow. If we were to drink milk from a female stranger in our own species, we definitely think that would be far more weird. But drinking it from another species. . . . perfectly normal.
