I remember my dad buying a small box of chocolate ants, grasshoppers, and a couple other insects. It was the oddest thing, but, you know, chocolate makes almost anything edible.

Ox tongue. Why would someone invite you to dinner and serve ox tongue?? I would think you would want to treat your guest to a traditional dinner. No warning. I ate it really fast so I didn't have to taste it, my wife snuck hers onto my plate, I ate it too

My mom used to serve tongue when I was a little "innocent" kid. I wondered about the funny texture on the outside of the meat. They never said, "This is tongue, little itsmee." I sat at my chair and stared at the meat plate and thought...." Ohhhhh! This looks like tongue."

Ox tongue is very popular in Scotland, as are lambs brains in some parts of Italy, everyone to their own as they say!

Monkey butts is popular in some places too but when you invite someone from out of your territory, you don't feed 'em monkey butts. You would ask if they would like to try it, make it available but at least have some roast beef n mashed potatoes and corn standing by. :)

I’ll bet no one from the US has had tongue. I don’t even see it in the store.
I walked in the park one early Monday morning. I found what looked like ......BRAINS. I ran to the park attendant thinking I was first on a murder case. He laughed..... just picnic food from a nationality I’m not familiar with.

Pressed Ox tongue was popular as a cold meat with salad etc when I was a kid.I haven't even heard of it for years.

I’d like to hear more about this experience. You could have died if that Parafine got stuck in your intestines or throat. How long were you in the desert off Libia? Why were you there? I hope you don’t mind questions. If you do I’ll : X. : )

Raccoon and snapping turtle. Growing up in the 70's we lived with the constant threat of nuclear war, (remember that?). My father decided if a nuclear war did happen and we survived, we would have to survive of whatever we could find to eat so he had us try things we did not normally eat. Raccoon and snapping turtle were the two most unusual things that I can remember.

I think you’l lsay “chicken” but I’ll ask anyway? What does Raccoon taste like? What about turtle? :)

commented 10 years ago

The coon was awful. It was like a very grease, very fatty pot roast but had a strong wild animal gamy taste. The meat was very stringy too and tough. As for the snapper, I really do not remember what it tasted like but it was not good.

Acorn soup and fried eel. I went to an American Indian dinner when I was in college in NW California. I shared an apartment with Becky, who invited me to go with her.
We both got deathly ill. What wasn't coming up one end was pouring out the other. ONE bathroom, so we had to take turns, or run outside.
