  define exotic.
Haggis
wasn't the greatest
then again I can't really hate anything food wise. I don't think I'll eat rocky mountain oysters though.

Yuk. I had it once. Never again.

[Sportsdude]

haha did you know in the u.k. if you throw haggis at a scots house, it's a hate crime? 

[Michel]

 

Ok PL you asked for it.

Chicha. It’s an alcool prepared by the toothless old ladies in remote jungle villages in Peru and the rest of South America. Basically, all the old ladies who are too weak to do other things in the collective work effort chew all day long yucca roots and spit the yellowish-green mixture in a big bucket, then they retake it and chew it again and again until it became clearer and clearer and liquid thanks to the saliva that is the acid responsible for the fermentation of the root that will produce the alcool.

I bought a bow and a few arrows to the chief of a village as souvenirs and that guy was so happy, he offered me a bowl of chicha to thank me, "fresly" made. Gulp, it was warm as a bowl of saliva could be in the jungle, with foam floating on the top and a strong smell ressembling a mix of bad breath and vomit.

 Now, only one question  PL. Do you still wanna be my friend ? You know that in my culture we do kiss girls in Québec when we meet them, right ? lol

I went for dim sum and didn't know what I was eating that was scary.  I do remember chicken's feet?  I was too polite to say no thanks!  

[Van Dude]

I had weiners in a can...an Newfie gave me one...it didn't stay in my stomach too long.

 

Other than that, I have had kangaroo. It was not my thing.

[JJ]

 I ate beaver, cougar and bear before at a wild life banquet . 

[Michel]

Ah yeah beaver too, and chicken feet, lama also, alpaca, pihrana, caiman probably, not sure, can't remeber. And suri, it's a big white worm, from the jungle again. Very good I must say. Armadillo too (spelling ?) and other things I probably forgot.

Didn't you already kiss me before, Michel?  On the cheek?  ;)

 

Wow, that's very exotic and interesting food you guys have eaten.  I have nothing compared to that but then again, whatever my mom made back in the days, I don't question.  It looks like hair and fingers, but I'm told it's good for you.  LOL

[Sportsdude]

yeah like chicken heads. uhhh.  

[Michel]

Didn't you already kiss me before, Michel?  On the cheek?  ;)

[Lil Me]

I eat a lot of different foods, but I can't think of anything I've had that is out of my comfort zone.  Haggis-ok, chead cheese-ok, tripe-ok, tendon-ok, fish eyes-ok, fish skin-ok.

I eat pretty much every kind of regular animal part, fish part, fungus, root, etc.-- except duck feet.  Can't get past the webbed feet.

I don't like game meats (including farm-raised versions of the same animal), but that's because of the taste.

 

[Michel]

I'm OK with "weird stuff" outside of my country because it's part of the experience, and sometime in remote area you don't have too much choice anyway. At home however, I'm more conservative.

 

Fish eye ? Brr Lil Me you're tough !
