In my case, I'd have to say either whale at a restaurant in Iceland, or fried crickets when I was in Zambia.
The whale was delicious. The bugs....not so much.
Crickets, tongue, balut, etc...
Cranberry sauteed reindeer in Stavanger Norway.
Frog legs. Did not taste like chicken and I didn’t like it.
We're gonna need a bigger pot!
Haggis
Still unsure...
Chicken feet. Chinatown, San Francisco.
Stinky soup in Hangzhou. Don’t know what is? I think that I’ve eaten all the foods in this ‘top ten list’ but No. 6 definitely has the most revolting smell of them all... and it tastes like crap (think cow pie). https://martalivesinchina.wordpress.com/2016/04/08/10-chinese-dishes-that-foreigners-find-gross/
“San nakji” Freshly chopped up baby octopus, still squirming and wriggling. I’ve had this a few times at restaurants in Seoul South Korea, where they like their seafood fresh. It’s quite something to have your entree fighting back while you enjoy it.
Forty-five years ago in Hollywood a restaurant called The Blue Boar served game in-season from all over the world (I see that recently there’s been a pub by the same name—that’s different). Seems to me I enjoyed their rhino steak.
My wife helped a Chinese (Taiwan) student at the local university. He moved to the West Coast and when we came out to visit my mother we got together. He took us to a restaurant that was supposed to be “really Chinese”. He ordered for us and he tried to explain what we were getting, but his Engrish skills failed him. He said we were getting something that sounded like “pomoduk”. I thought he was trying to say “heart of palm”, but he wasn’t. It was duck feet.
Goat ribs at El Tio’s in Monterrey, Mexico.
Cooked outside over a low fire and turning spit.
The cook fired up a nearby bandsaw and sliced off chunks that filled our plates.
I was in Holland and they fed us horse.
That was awful tasting.
Tripe and Snails of the French variety. Nothing more exotic than that.
SO what would you gotten had you won the bet?
Meatloaf. You only think you know what’s in it. Ever notice how it tastes different from restaurant to restaurant? I hear the taste has something to do with the number of missing dogs and cats in the surrounding neighborhood.
Most everything in China, not knowing what it was.
Tepescuintle, which I thought was filet mignon and is delicious, and armadillo, which was chewy. I’ll pass on the armadillo next time and get a double order of tepes.
Good thing you included at a restaurant 8^)
If it’s odd, I won’t eat it.
Buffalo meat.
