The strangest thing I ever ate was Turtle Chowder. :eek

I'm a lover of Chowder, so, I dunno if it was :yuk because it was mind over matter, or, if it was :yuk because it was?

I can tell ya this much, though. I won't try it again. :ninja

Same here chowder is my favorite soup. But how did u eat it without knowing. For sure if you were at a restaurant you would have to say what you wanted. Just curious!

Does it taste like duck? Or maybe chicken?

Tastes like pidgeon.

I had it in a pie with other ingredients, so I guess I would gave to say a bit more chicken like than duck.
I dont like duck

Re: Strangest thing you ever ate.

I tried the crispy fried grasshoppers and worms from a street in Thailand. Actually very uneventful, tasted like nothing. Like a cheetoh with no cheese or salt. Bleh. Couldn't bring myself to go for the roaches on the same cart, though.

The nastiest thing I've ever tasted was this cheese we bought for the restaurant once, just because it sounded so bizarre. They make it by slaughtering a suckling goat minutes after it feeds, then removing the stomach with milk intact and hanging to dry for 60 days. It comes still in the dried up stomach which you cut away to get the cheese. When you first taste it, it's actually quite rich and silky, but after about 15 seconds you get smacked with this intensely horrid after taste of stomach acid and bile. It was literally like you had thrown up in your mouth and couldn't get the taste out.

And we paid $90 for 1 pound of this.

The grasshoppers and worms i think were suppose to be salted.

Also the cheese is probably a get used to taste. Maybe it tastes great once your used to it. I wonder if its good with crackers.

I knew it was Turtle Chowder. :nod:

Didn't order it in a restaurant... a chef friend had made it in his home. None of us died from it... and, to my dismay, there were people who ate all of theirs! :willy_nilly:

I wouldn't know, not from here. only ate that one my Dad tricked me into eating.


And I saw the cooks at a vietness restaurand in Kingston Ontario trying to catch pigeons behind their place :24: not so urban perhaps.

That place has the best ginger chicken/pigeon :24:

Pidgeon people are probably ok with. But with cat,rat,dog those are pets. So it might not be so pleasent if you knew. :yuk

Not so okay with ones around the city I bet.

I don’t mind what I am eating so long as I don’t get sick and it tastes good.

More like a hazard of the profession

I TRY to expand my horizons and taste everything. There is a huge world full of ingredients. But there are more than a few that have stretched my limits for sure.

Are you trying to scare me away from the place you recommended?

So do you like sushi? A lot of people want to taste everything usually don't like sushi very much.

I try to give everything a try at least once, unless the smell is not appealing.

Pretty much my philosophy...although, if its something that sounds SUPER gross; dont tell me what it is until AFTER I try it...

eg..bulls balls....spiders etc.

Sometimes the smell can be deceiving! And make you miss out on maybe a delicious dish, food, etc.
