Everything served by my Khmer GFs amazing sister in Phnom Penh especially the tiny thumbnail size crabs in lime and pepper sauce (one direction only)Originally Posted by draco888
Some indeterminate sort of curry stuff at central market Phnom Penh (both directions)
I've got to say balut look pretty vile as well, are you a fan Davis?

I was in a forest in England and saw one of these Alice In Wonderland mushrooms called Fly Agaric
they are as big as your hand
Now this fella is highly hallucinogenic but comes with a risk of poisoning and death
anyway i had a nibble and it was real strong tasting [ nothing like chicken ]
but not enough to disappear down a rabbit hole or drop dead .
you have to know how to prepare these things properly if you want to go on a trip. you don't just nibble on them unless you feel like dying.
For me the most exotic food is probably the live fire ant eggs which are a delicacy up in Issan. Pretty good actually. You feel them wriggle and if they are just out of the egg you get a nice acid kick from their developing nastiness.

How was that?Originally Posted by draco888
Just you wait until withnall gets involved with this thread. I mean. The things he's done with workaday livestock just don't bear thinking about.
Unless you also have a penchant for tearing the live flesh off of an unsuspecting herd of charging wilderbeast.
Tis but a delicacy.Originally Posted by draco888
i also couldn't quite get round to ordering bat....
Dry roasted termites are good with beer...so are dry roasted grasshoppers.
Mot Daeng are great in an omelette.
Had shredded jellyfish as revenge for being stung by one.
Sea cucumber... took a lot to keep that down...hard to describe the feeling when eating...but pleasant does not come to mind.
Rat or rice mouse was not bad but I shied away from eating dog...
Most exotic to date has to be buffalo placenta....
Human placenta.
kangaroo, croc, camel, all often, dog, rat (once).
Weirdest was a live pan fried fish.
They take it out of the tank, gut, scale and fry it in about 20 seconds and it's still flopping on the plate as you eat it.
Same same drunken lobster.
refused;
insects live and dead.
offal of all sorts
pretty much anything that lives on the sea floor.
Whiskey steeped in tiger bones.
Chicken feet, fried insects, and ant eggs all seem normal to me now. Of all the other things I've eaten, balut, bear, ostrich, zebra, crocodile, wildebeest, and a house cat, the worst of the worst was raw sea urchin. Never have I had anything so awful in my mouth put there intentionally. The house cat was pretty foul also.
I think Draco hit it, but I've eaten snake a number of times. Rattlesnake in the US (rattlesnake round-ups are big), and a number of different types in Vietnam, Cambodia and once here in the PI.
Rocky Mountain Oysters, fresh off the branding grill...
Back in the high tech work days, had some work visitors I was hosting from Edinburgh so I took them to a rather rustic inn back in the mountains of Idaho called the Snake Pit. The beer flowed, the food flowed, and my good friends ordered a third helping of Rocky Mountain Oysters. One of them said they were so good and asked what were they. I thought all along they knew what they were eating. They got kinda silent for a while after I told them, but they finished the third order with no problem! Heck, look what's in haggis.
You Make Your Own Luck
Fruit bat in weird green sauce
Reindeer
Anyone who eats hot dogs or bologna already ate pig testicles and uterus in disguise.
I've eaten field rats, but I would draw the line at bats - horrible creatures. Can't imagine there would be much meat on them anyway.
