I worked with a Filipino girl who brought Balut to work.... it's cooked eggs with a developed embryo. Did I eat the entire thing? No....but I did taste it.
As I recall, it was very pricey and tasted like sauteed ass.
How about the exotic or unknown item that you relieved to discover wasn't quite as bizarre as you thought it might be?
Very fresh Impala testicles. Actually pretty good once you get past the idea.
similar to this (although I didn't eat it, my friend did). I was going up north and a "delacy" up there is seal eyes.
The most exotic thing that I have eaten is whale steak at Bernard's Surf in Cocoa Beach back in 1966 when I was 5. As I recall, it was very pricey and tasted like sauteed ass.
Lived near Bernard's Surf for years--EVERYTHING they served tasted like sauteed ass!
where'd you do that one?
that could be a hard thing to have on the menu!
That was in Africa, in the field, not a restaurant.
South Africa or one of the northern african countries?
Did you do it on game type tour or something else?
I ask because my friends family owns quite a few hunting lodges in SA and I visit every year and it would be nice to hear someone else's experience.
I know this isn't that uncommon or stange for chinese restaurants, but I distinctly remember the time I had stewed/steamed duck's feet. Can't say I cared much for the texture of the gelatinous webbing.
Apparently fried worms taste like bacon? Anyone want to confirm or do a taste test?
Growing up I was forced to eat menudo. I throw up now at first smell.
