50 foods you should try in your life time

If you really want to be offended by 'alternative meats' go to PETSorFOOD.com , let me just preface this by saying this site is a joke! The last board I was on people got in an upraor when people thought this was serious.
 
Sushi! Sushi!

I'd eat it 24/7 if I could afford it.

Sorry for yelling, but I LOVE the stuff.

Y'all can keep the haggis. This is what I call a Dish of Desperation. In the old days, people made it when they had nothing else to eat.
 
I missed this thread back when it was first started - I thought Kangaroo was readily available in the UK. I heard that during the mad cow thing it was increasing in availability as a 'safe' red meat. No?

I never saw it anywhere. Can't recall hearing anything about kanga meat being available. If I had, I would have had some in a jiffy.

The colloquial term I'm familiar with is 'roo', said as you would 'lamb' or 'beef' - "I'd like to order the roo burger with salad...". It's somewhat gamey, rather like venison, only more tender. The closest thing I've tried to it is buffalo, but I gotta say the roo was even more tender :). All the same, I'm not a fan of that sort of strong taste too frequently.

Of course. When nobody had anything to eat, they would add spice to some mince and boil it up nicely in a sheep's stomach and eat it with turnips and potatoes. Remind me what you're talking about. And it's bloody lovely, I might add! :mad:

Sounds quite delish to me! :)
 
Bison is one of my favorites and is the only red meat that I eat. Seafood now, I can't get enough.
 
Has anyone tried unhatched dead chicks still in their egg shells? This is some kind of delicacy in the phillipines apparently. I had it and almost vomited.

yes. that's it. Just had a look. Oh god. What the hell was I thinking?
 
The Vietnamese actually prefer to see the baby duck they're eating? How sick is that? I believe on fear factor I saw people eating these things, and they all puked.

How 'bout we try chocolate cheesecake instead?
