Weird food favourites 🫛

Many years ago whilst checking into a plush Hotel in SE Asia i noticed lots of signage stating Durian fruit is not allowed in the Hotel due to its very pungent aroma. I'd never even heard of Durian fruit so a day or so later when i noticed it being sold in a street food market i gave it a go and it was absolutely delicious! I've since discovered very few Western people can stomach durian fruit but folks from that part of the world (SE Asia) all seem to love it.

Fried onion sandwiches, where the onions are almost charred 😅 I only have it very rarely as onions don't agree with me anymore, but it was a favourite student meal and I still crave it all these years later.

The thought of cold mushy peas and pease pudding makes me feel a little nauseous though @Rosie_Scope

I'm way too picky so not sure why I even clicked the thread 😆

As a teenager I ate mashed potato (smash) sandwiches which I think most people wouldn't like but I couldn't eat it now haha

I suppose some people would think my plain pasta or boiled rice with cheese meals are weird but I feel like they are plain enough others might agree ❤️

Spicy whole baked baby crabs. You eat them shell, eyes, and all. They're certainly an acquired taste, very pungent and fishy, but fairly nice to snack on in small doses, any more than that and they start to become kind of disgusting.

I'm not sure if all baked baby crabs are like this or if it's just how this brand is. I would like to try some by a different brand to see how they compare.

When I was little, I used to love something I called "shaky milk". When you get to the end of the milk bottle, you shake the last portion of milk vigorously so it comes out bubbly!! It's like the foamy milk you got on coffee (only on posh coffees when I was little 😆) but just cold.

For something extra you could put a little bit of milkshake powder/syrup in before you shake it up 😋

The shell isn't gritty at all, it's like a thin crisp.

I haven't had it in foreverrrrr not sure what it even tastes like any more! I used to have piles of butter and salt added too 😀

Ooooh green beans and baby corn are great additions! I actually loveeeee love love vegetables! Not a fruit fan though

I've never heard of that! I wonder if you can still get them? They sound a lot of fun haha

I know, they certainly wont be for everyone.

I've got some dried glassy squid in the freezer too, not tried any yet, I guess I just like weird stuff.

Rosie_Scope, it can be eaten on it's own as a snack (I've heard it has the texture of jerky), or added to soups and other things.
