Yeah it was a free meal. I ordered some soup that was full of mussels and octopus. Several smallish ones. You could stuff a whole one in your mouth but the tentacles would pop out as you tried to chew. My wife was grossed out but laughing all the way.

Sea Urchin roe.. It was such a horrible texture Nd not that good. Also, I love a good deli sandwich with cow tongue.

I ate eel. My Tater friend lost our bet on the 2012 SC-Clemson game and got to pick from three dusgusting foods. She chose a quarter-pound of live grubs.

One of the best meals I ever had was a grilled octopus tentacle in a small town on the north coast of Spain, one of the foods I dream about eating again. Have had a few since and none have measured up but still a very good food and definitely not chewy if could correctly.

I have even chicken hearts which weren't that bad. A bowl of cold soup, which had whole very small fish as its noodles. (during certain seasons they are alive in the soup, they weren't when I had them). I've had more that I can't think of right now, I've been fortunate and gotten to travel a lot and am always willing to eat anything anyone puts in front of me.

It's good to go through life with that kind of attitude. You never know how good or bad something is until you try it... well sometimes you will know how bad something is but still....

I ate kangaroo and crocodile in Australia. The kangaroo was actually pretty good...crocodile not so much.

As a hunter, I eat plenty of wild game (deer, gator, wild turkey, wild hog, duck, moose, elk, etc.). But I view all of that as 'normal' so it wouldn't qualify as weird.

Probably the 'weirdest' thing I've ever eaten was a salt and pepper squid tentacle. It was really good. I lived in Okinawa for a year while in the USMC, nothing I had (to my knowledge) was any 'weirder' than that.

There is a place in Japan, that I swear, stole the blue prints for Waffle House and is an Indian food chain called 'Coco's'. I've considered going back to Japan to have some of this Indian food again.

Mom & dad would bring me stuff from trips. I remember liking the cans of chocolate covered ants and fried grasshoppers. Jellyfish salad is a staple in the Little Saigon restaurants here. It is coming back into season now. Tongue makes good sandwiches. Fried brain sandwiches are a fixture in Indiana. Escargot are excellent depending on the sauce. We have gator all sorts of ways down here. Mudbug too. Fried rattlesnake is quite tasty. Akee is one of my favorites. It is the national fruit of Jamaica. Poisonous if picked off the tree. You have to let it open on its own. The seeds are highly toxic as well. The fleshy part is exquisite however. Looks like scrambled eggs when you cook it up in a pan with salt cod or bacon. Shark sandwiches are common in the Keys. I make a nice salad with hijiki seaweed, carrots, and corn. Duck feet beat chicken any old day. Try fried cooked in duck fat too! I like curry goat, the national dish of Jamaica. It is one of the secret ingredients in my hash too! I guess that everyone has enjoyed good goose liver pate as well as well as caviar. Not much beats a good turtle stew! If in the Caymans be sure to have some turtle steaks as well. Of course we have all consumed the worm from the bottom of a bottle of Mezcal.

I tried Crocodile and Kangaroo in Australia.

But the weirdest thing has to be Rocky Mountain Oysters (Google them if you don't know what they are).

Living in Thailand for 2 years I ate lots of fried things from street vendors. Don't know what all of it was, thankfully. I do remember eating Ox tongue a few times. Ate a whole snake in Vietnam - literally the whole thing. They perfected not wasting any parts. I've had some pretty wild stuff all over the world and only one really bad case of food-poisoning, but it was a doozy. That was from tap water in the Philippines.
