Craziest foods you've ever tried

I ate Monkfish at a family wedding in Scotland in 2009.

I’m just glad I’ve not eaten meat or fish for ten years.

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! 😁
