I had beer heart the other day. Just a bite of it, but it wasn't bad.

That's it for me.. lol

Oh yea, had some squid once; almost puked.

I had something cooked over a 55 gal drum on a street corner in Comyogya Honduras once when I was drunk. Not sure what the mystery meat was, but it sure tasted exotic.

Not sure what it was. It apparently crawled into my MRE one night in the woods of FT Gordon Ga. Was a tad salty tasting though. Probably should be glad I couldnt see it.

Kimshee. Tasted great, but HOLY SH*T, what a smell!

Floater - I've had squid, thought it was pretty good - a little "rubbery", but an excellent taste. Yours musta been raw.
Exotic? I guess the BBQ goat we fixed was about as exotic as it gets. I've had it several times, the younger the better for sure.

No, it was cooked in butter.

But man, if I didn't spit that thing out, I would have definately puked. Can't stand shrimp, either.

One time I had to eat a steak medium well. Couldn't understand why anyone would deliberatly screw up a good rib eye like that.

I ate raw squid and eel in a side street shop in the Itaewon district of Seoul. Ate dog in Yea Chon. Had lots and lots of stuff in Japan that I didn't know what it was called. Had Monkey meat in Olongapo City R.P.. But the most exotic thing I've ever eaten was the p*ssy of a 21 year old Japanese girl in Hiroshima named Taeko Arie.

I've eaten a few things I would be hard pressed to identify the source of protein.

A few things I could indentify:

Locusts in Pattaya Beach, Thailand

Balut in Olongapo City, PI

Kimchi in Pusan, Korea.

Snake in Hong Kong

Dog in Hong Kong (When in Rome)

Shark Fin in Hong Kong

Bearded Clam in Brazil[:P]

Balut (those that are Filipino or have been to P.I. will know what this is)
Dog, cooked liked beef stew. Tasted like beef but had the meat consistency of chicken
Eel, in a form of a soup and in form of sushi.
Frog legs in a spicy soup style dish. This one really does taste like chicken.
Blood soup. Pigs blood used to make soup with pig meat and various other organs. Called dinuguan. This is a Filipino dish served with steam rice, mmmmmm.

I would like to try some Rocky Mountain oysters, monkeys brain, and a few exotics meats. Like mountain lion, bear, and ostrich.

Your tales of "strange meat" don't impress me. Squid, and whatever you at in Honduras can't hold a candle to the frozen fish sandwich I tried at a convenience store along the highway. Found out real quick that it was a bit moldy.

Don't ask, but it and a fiery can of pringles ended up flying out the window of a 80's model Escort Station Wagon going down the highway at 80mph. It took a couple of hours to get that taste out of my mouth.

My uncle said his uncle would drink some of the blood of every deer he killed-fresh from the animal. This was in pennsylvania in the 50's-70's. They also drank milk straight from the utters of the cow. He was an old guy, it may have been an old German/Rural thing.

I, on the other hand, have never eaten anything terribly exotic. Swordfish? Mako Shark?

How bout a bacon sandwich in Scotland? I was there at the University of Edinburgh for some geology classes a few summers ago. I stop by the university store to grab a sandwich for our day-long field trip. We get out in the field, and I take a bite. I quickly find out that the bacon is RAW. It's still white and waxy like it just came out of the package. I never tried more there, but is that how they eat bacon?

Also while there: blood sausage and haggis...mmmm, haggis...

I ate the same things lordtrader ate (I'm pretty sure all Flips like us have many times) except for the dog. When I was in the Philippines, I ate some BBQ they sold out on the streets. They told me it was chicken, but it could have been dog. It tasted really good though. Other than that, the most exotic thing I ate was this one Vietnamese chick. Yum yum...

Rocky Mountain Oysters.

Hey, LT! I had dinuguan tonight for dinner. Seriously, along with some kimchee. We had purple yam ice cream for desert. (Magnolia Dairy is available here, now.)

I had fried cobra in the PI, along with some deep-fried day-old chicks. Dog, too. That's why I'm naming my next dog Pulutan. "Haling kadito, Pulutan!"

Eel, octopus, squid, worms, beetle grubs, locusts, ants, rattlesnake, blood sausage (blutwurst), steak tartar, lard sandwiches with sliced apple, head cheese, and when I was in NROTC I had a "ham-and-mammies" C-ration that had been packaged before I was born. Seriously. But the most disgusting thing I ever ate was chicken intestines zig-zagged on a skewer and roast over a fire. My mother-in-law bought it for me, so I couldn't refuse. Let's just say that they needed to be boiled a few more times. I will NEVER have "chicken chitlins" again.

The best damned "exotic" food that I've ever had, though, would have to be chicharone manoc. Deep fried chicken skin, just like pork rinds or cracklin's, but with a heck of a lot more flavor. Brother, every time Zeny makes chicken and cuts the skin off, I render the suckers. Goes great with a mixture of vinegar, Tabasco, salt, and garlic.

Oh, I've had the Filipino stuff. I've eaten the dinuguan, the kilawin, the balut, etc. The wife's filipina and her mother always makes me big bowls of that stuff when she comes to visit.

Schwarma's in Saudi Arabia were pretty exotic and also pretty good. It's basically pita bread wrapped around broasted chicken, whole french fries, a dill pickle wedge and mayonaise and hot sauce. Towards the end of my third tour in the Gulf I had the "Syrian" style schwarma which added a grilled radish. It was delicious!

sf46,
You sure that was chicken in your schwarma?? They do taste good though, I got a serious case of the squirts after I ate one though. It was a long ride back to PSAB from Riyadh!!! It's gotta be that mayo mixture that they let sit out in the hot sun all day..
I've had squid, snails, rattlesnake (or at least thats what my dad told me it was) ostrich, buffalo, and a fly this summer when I was riding my ATV.. I've heard Rocky Mountain Oysters (bull nuts) are pretty good but haven't had a chance to try them yet.

Later,
hawkin

Ate "meat" on a stick cooked by decrepit looking old ladies in various countries including Korea and the P.I. God only knows what the hell I ate, but man it sure was good!

Gator, buffalo, squirrel, assorted insects on a thankfully brief taxpayer-funded tour of the Alberta wilderness, venison (more like a staple than an exotic, but some have missed out on this one), goat, falafel, leopard frog, tofu.

Edited to add chicken palms. From the name, I figured they would be something like chicken nuggets or something... so did my girlfriend at the time, who grabbed a handful and popped them in her mouth. She never went to a Chinese restaurant with me again. For those who don't know, they're fried chicken feet.

Ones I'd eat again in preference to a nice steak: smoked gator, buffalo, venison.

Local: woodchuck. Darn things keep moving in under my porch.

Foreign: squid & kimchee. Squid was really good, great texture, ate the whole d*** thing, my stomach went "what the he!!'s THIS?" for an hour. Kimchee takes getting used to, but given enough ya get hooked - and I think "hooked" is the proper pharmacological term.

Went to a VietNamese "Soup Party" in a fellow workers garage. The soup was excellent, but had frightening things floating in it, such as a miniature, whole octupus. I remember looking at it's head, as big as your thumb, and at the tip of each tentacle, which was curled into a neat little spiral, covered with suckers, and blanching in fear.

For a side dish, half-developed duck foetuses were brought out. At first, reacting to blind panic, I said "NO." Then, screwing my courage to the sticking point, I ate one. Upon finishing the first duck foetus, I wandered to myself, "Was that as repulsive as you thought it was, or are you just a scaredy-gringo?"

While eating the second duck foetus, I fought down the STRONG urge to vomit! [BD]

Floater if you ask me the heart is the second best part of the deer.The tenderloin being the best.If you dont like squid try calimari.Ask 1feral1 what that is.

Iced monkey brains in Pattaya Beach, Thailand (was really drunk at the time,freakin good thai beer). Assorted grasshoppers and snake eggs during Jungle survival training in Subic Bay Philipinnes in '85. And assorted bearded clams from Pusan,Pohan Korea and Thailand. I sure miss Bangkok, man was that place just loaded with babes!

I lived in Samoa for a while.

They make something called Se'a, it is the innards from a sea slug- pickled. I tried some, DON'T!

One thing they had that was really good was called palolo. One night a year, these blue-green Annelid worms (normally burrowed in the reefs) swarm to the surface to mate. It is really tricky, the day is hard to predict, as is the best spot. It happens sometime in October or November on the seventh day after a full moon. Everyone heads for the beach with buckets and scoop nets, and as it occurs at like 3am no-one goes to work the next day. The stuff sells for about $50 a pound.

Tastes like caviar. Great with eggs, like an omelet.

Conch fritters on St. John, USVI. Also the best little Mexican 'mariscos' restaurant in Dallas, La Calle Doce (12th Street) has a seafood cock-tail known as 'Vuelve a la Vida' which contains shrimp, oysters, and octupus. Mui deliciosa!
