Grass jelly drink. Bits of jelly like stuff with real grass mixed in. I don't know what the jelly stuff was. I tried to "drink" (eat?) it, but I couldn't go through with it. He slurped it down like it was coke.

Just to take a break from politics for a bit, I was wondering if there are others out there who also have a taste for weird exotic foods. I thought I was one of a kind in this regard until I read a newspaper article that said that there are many folks who have a hankering for exotic foods that others may find yucky.
I've eaten sea urchin eggs directly from sea urchins, cooked ox tails (or "tako" as it is called in the Phillipines), raw quail eggs, all manner of spicy European sausages such as the very garlicky Kabanosi, blood sausages in Argentina, alligator meat, and I don't even have to be drunk to eat the worm in the Mezcal bottle (although I usually am since I have to drink my way to reach it).
So what are your favorite "yucky" foods? I am always on the lookout for new exotic foods so I will be most interested in reading your comments and food suggestions.
Next favorite is La Vache qui Rit on Triskets. After that, it gets weird.

And, yes, rattlesnake does taste like chicken (white meat).
I need to put those two items on my menu list. However, whenever I think of armadillo I think of roadkill. Do they actually raise armadillos somewhere in Texas as livestock?
We always ate (cow) tongue sandwiches at home. I never thought much about it until a friend of mine asked what that big ol' tongue in the fridge was. He almost fainted when I told him.
Agreed! Except for one thing: Best served on a toasted onion roll! Fantastic!
One problem, though: I can't eat it right now! It would be about the worst thing on my doctor-ordered, low-fat, low-cholesterol diet.
I think this is the first time that anybody has ever taken anything I've ever posted seriously.
Thanks!
I don't think it's " weird " but I love raw kolarahbi. It's a Hungarian thing. : - )
Armadillo need no help from man to multiply and prosper; their only natural enemy being the pickup truck.
Aside from being stupid, they're damn near blind, too. If you see an armadillo in the wild, get in its path and then stand still. Soon enough, they'll be snuffling around your boots, trying to figure out whether they're edible.
No challenge to plink 'em with a .22.
I never had lutfisk but when I was a kid in Puerto Rico I ate a lot of Bacalao Frito which is Fried Saltcod. Man that stuff was great! Also in Puerto Rico I loved when the roadside vendors sold green coconuts on ice. First they opened up little holes in them to drink from. Then they would cut open the coconut and chop off with their machetes a little wedge of coconut wood that you would use to scrape out the soft coconut meat (much better than the dried ripe coconut meat.) Also I absolutely LOVE coconut milk where they mix coconut juice with milk.
What's kolarahbi?
but that was a long time ago.
