Strange foods you like by Mike on 07 Oct, 2011 16:46

Reading some other threads made me realize how many folks have what I consider strange tastes in food. The other day when I had milk and pepsi my friend looked at me like I was crazy. Everyone in my family always has milk and pepsi, its generally 1/2 can of pepsi in a cup with the rest filled with milk.
Or another one that my family always has is horse meat, its almost taboo in the area to eat horse anymore even though everyone in the family has done it for ages.
What weird foods do you like? -

How strange does it have to be? I like things like oysters, clams, mussels, and snails (escargot), but those aren't really strange or bizzare. I've eaten (and enjoyed) smoked eel and horsemeat, but haven't had them in years. As a kid, I loved fried baloney sandwiches with ketchup.

The Philippines have a long list of strange and bizarre foods, mostly grilled. I may not like them all but here is a few - grilled chicken intestines, grilled pork intestines, grilled dried pigs' blood, grilled chicken feet. We also have balut (duck embryo), dinuguan (stew made out of pig's blood)

I used to make balut for a teacher with our duck eggs.
Even just regional things like I know family I have in LA and FL eat gator stew and all sorts of cajun cooking. I also love farm animals folks consider weird like peacock and llama. -

When I was a kid at one of our Greek Easter parties, a relative handed me a bowl of soup w/o identifying it. I didn't ask what it was until finishing my third bowl, and was told it was Lamb's Brain Soup. Yikes ...
A friend from Malaysia convinced me to try a duck egg that was black from being buried for a period of time. It was terrible.

Being a farm kid I have eaten just about all the parts of livestock, brain, feet, organs. What is beof?
Another regional thing we have is snickers salad, ramen salad, and ramen tacos. -

Oh ok. I think translated from French is just Beef. Buffalo might mean different here than there. We have American Bison which are called buffalo but are like our version of wisent like they have in Germany/Poland/Croatia

I just remembered another "strange" food, we pinoys call it SOUP #5...it is a thick, spicy stew made of cow's penis, many swore it has aphrodisiac qualities..never got myself to try it though.
