Oh Lawd!!!!

I'm watching MY first episode of Bizarre Foods on the Travvel Channel. Although I respect everyone on the show I CANNOT DEAL WITH THE THINGS THAT THEY EAT. This particular episode focuses on Mexican bizarre foods. My ancestors actually ate all this.

Cricket tostadas, worms, armadillo. Ant eggs and mosquito eggs.

I don't think I could do it and you all know I looooove food.



What is the strangest thing that you have eaten?

Claire Radcliffe...that bitch was nuts...

omg! i LOVE that show. the one where he goes through several asian countries is intense.

Guinia pig brain, Quito,Equador. It's a delicacy....

COTTAGE CHEESE!!!

ok that may not be strange to most, but that shit makes me hurl. it's spoilt milk!!!! wtf? the consistency is just wrong. nevermind the flavour and rank smell. then people go and put fruit and whatnot in it.

I actually think that I would be up for the challenge but I don't know. My friend had dog in Vietnam, I believe. He said it was okay but too greasy.

I think I would try that.

On the "steet"? You mean the street? (ulitsa in Russian).

Why did they serve you that on the street?

Flowerz said:

I can totally understand the whole salt and sweet thing.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

i think i could handle most of it, excluding the insect-related stuff & things that are really bitter.

The closest I've come to any kind of brains were Sweetbreads. I thought, when I ordered it, it was going to be a pastry. When I got it I was surprised. They were little curly cue fried things. They were delicious until I found out what they were. Cow brains. I feel bad that I let the fact that it was brains affect me like that. They were delicious at first.

Ox-tail soup.

hahahhah yes , spell check needed.....There were carts with Vodka, caviar, white fish, cheese, with bread. It was when Russia 1st opened up to tourists in the early 80's. There were flea markets where you could buy Middle Eastern rugs for a song. If you were a tourist with $$ it was paradise...

My problem is real rich food. Real gamy will make me barf.

Don't get me wrong I totally admire people that can eat all that. My mom ATE EVERYTHING.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Whoa, Cottage Cheese was definitely the shit in the 70's. That was a fad that I'm glad most have abandoned.

Flowerz said:

Hahhaha!! I've never tried that or pigs feet. AND I think I would feel silly eating pig snout.

xplnyrslf said:

Did you get those black lacquer boxes and the nesting dolls there too?

Nice.

fish stomach soup is great

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

It's actually the thymus gland....I love them with a brown sauce, and tender.

july said:

Does that taste like beef stew or something. I think I could try that.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Ox tail soup is delicious with spices and rice.
