Craziest foods you've ever tried

Oh yes it's extremely sour 😍

I also love extremely strong cheese

Sure are different

I'm sure my mum used to cook brains but I definitely didn't try them 🤢.

I've tried kangaroo, wasn't terribly keen, had an odd flavour. I love ostrich, tastes between duck & beef, lovely.

Have had foie gras, it is rather good & not all is fed with the gruesome gavage but more humanely. It is expensive though.

😆 Yep, @66Mustang, it doesn't 'harm' the birds, just your pocket, some will always be able to afford it without a care. It is a high days & holidays thing though & Xmas in France it is everywhere!

Also, I think it goes by what breed it is, as migratory ducks & geese gorge naturally for the journey ahead, so using that, for some of the farms, they are working with breeds or crossbreeds with those instincts.

Monkfish tail, delish! It used to be subbed as scampi (a con), as it was cheap because it was normally just thrown back. Now, monkfish are caught & kept, tail & cheeks are pricey meat.

I had to laugh at your g g grandmother, @66Mustang, but if you'd never seen or eaten one, a natural reaction. My mum, when a little kid, had her first orange just after the war, from an American GI, she didn't know what to do with it. Obviously she was shown, as it became her favourite fruit, years later, once they were freely available & not an expensive rarity.

I often wonder how a person came about eating eggs or drinking milk, I suppose the latter would come from a human baby being fed natually, but to eat something that came out of chooks bums…. 🤔

Foie gras isn't an everyday food to the regular French population, or the folk I know, it is counted as a treat for special occasions.

As lobsters were, so were oysters here, they were peasant food. Not now, but the monied are welcome to them, as to me, they're like having a mouthful of snot when you have a bad cold! 😜

I'm with you, say if lobster was shunned I'd be over the moon, cheap deliciousness.

I was brought up to try any food once, then I was able to say I don't like it. When I was little, we'd just bought fresh cockles, mussels & winkles to cook, we'd never had them. My sister, when we were in the car going home, started singing the lines from Molly Malone, 'Cockles & mussels alive alive oh!', that put me off for a few years, now I love 'em & regret the years I was put off. 🤪 She put herself off too! 🤣 I still try any food once though.

There ya go, I matched your diatribe! 😁
