What weird or exotic foods have you eaten?

I've never tried smoked octopus, at least I don't think so. I've eaten the little octopus (or squid, i dont remember right now) that they have at the local chinese restaurant. I might have to try smoked octopus one of these days.

It really is. A lot of people are so disgusted by it, but I'd wager a guess that they've never had it. They just judge based on what their eyes see.

With such a large amount of ethnic foods here, it's kinda hard not to be exposed to the weird and exotic. Most of them aren't all that bad.

I will draw the line on balut and natto, though. I've had both and vowed never again.

Oh, I forgot all about natto! I don't think it's that bad, I'd eat it again. But I'm a pescetarian, so there are a lot of things listed above that I won't eat, so it's only fair that I eat the weird/gross vegetable items.

That smell gets to me each time. Truthfully, it doesn't taste all that bad. But that SMELL. I can't get through one bite without wanting to puke.

i didnt know what balut was until i clicked on the link. turns out i have eaten it before. i just didnt know what it was called. i dont eat the chick though, just the yellow part.

i have tasted fried grasshoppers and fried june bugs before.

I think it is funny that many have listed escargot - which I don't consider exotic at all. Mmmmm . . . garlic butter.
