chocolate covered crickets.

A salad.

It was healthy food. So, for me, it was strange.

I've eaten an undercooked octopus tentacle. To quote Dave Barry, "I almost expected to see a little Kirk Douglas in his grip". My mum, however, has had RATTLESNAKE before. My dad has drunk POLISH BEER. Clearly, I was born with ENZYMES OF STEEL!!!!!

The weirdest thing I've ever eaten is chocolate covered grasshoppers. They're actually ok...if you can forget you're eating grasshoppers.

The weirdest thing I've ever eaten that I've created (as far as I know, anyway) is an egg & cuke sandwich. Hard-boiled eggs, sliced cucumbers, lots of Miracle Whip (or mayo if you're a pansy) on potato bread--best thing EVER!!!!!! Mmmmmmmm. Love it.

Dried sushi that you get out of vending machines in Japan.

Imagine a bag of chips, except they are small uncooked fish.

Bah, how about uncooked octopus tentacle. That is one of the best kinds of sushi, IMHO.

Besides regular sushi including eel, octopus and squid... other fish include shark and swordfish. Also kangaroo and camel.

How big do those get? Mine was about 8 in. I love octopus, but that tasted like a tire.

Anyobody know what a Zinger is? Last week a guy I knew got a pack f them and ate two. I didn't want the third one, so he threw it into a rain puddle. He offered me a dollar to eat it. He upped it to five and said I could just chew it up an dspit it out. I agreed.

Later in the day, the chewed up lump was still on the ground, but the puddle I had spit it into haddried up. It was now muddy and had ants on it.

The same guy offered another guy 40 bucks to eat it. He agonized over it, until I went into the school restroom, grabbed a paper towl, picked it up with the paper towel, and ate it.

I puked it up seconds later, after a little bit of "Hwaa....HWAAAAAAAA!!"-ing, and ejected the entire lump at once. But I made 40 bucks.

Well, I suppose the weirdest thing, isnt as exotic as crickets in chocolate, but was an experience which I shall never, ever repeat-

Location - Chinese restaurant in Stallus, Crete (although quite what we were doing in a chinese restaurant in Crete is still beyond me)

Had been there before (again, something which is beyond me... that's what you get if you holiday with people who aren't that adventurous with food), but had some cash spare (nearing end of holiday), decided to have crab in ginger and spring onions.

The waiter tells me 'It's in its shell'. 'Fine' I say.

So, 10 mins later or whatever it was, he presents me with a bowl of crab claws and deep fried balls of crab, and the relevant implements.

(as a side-note, and I kid-you-not on this one, the waiter says to me 'It's like with women, it's only fun if you use your fingers' )

So, eat the claws no problem, get on to the crab balls.

First crab ball -

*crunch, crunch, crunch*
*swallow*
*sensation like gravel rolling down my throat*

After the 4th ball, and some winces from the people beside me (apparently, the crunching was very, very audible) I realised that the balls of crab seemed to be mainly composed of the damn thing's shell.

But, I'd paid for it, and I was going to eat it.

2 balls later, I gave in.

2 - 0 to Crab.

Then spent the rest of the night trying to decide whether the crab and its shell were coming back up for a rematch, after 11 challenges from my crustacean foe, both at night and in the morning, we finally called it off.

Final result -

Me 11 - 2 Crab

Kangaroo Steak. And very nice it was too.

Oh, and Escargot (snails)

Probably not all that wierd, but things like this are pretty subjective for the most part: I could put octupus on my list, but I've never thought of it as all that wierd.

My wife's pretty weird.

What?! Someone around here had to say something like that at some point.

Dog biscuits. Lots of protein.

Other than that, in middle school I really liked to chew on paper. I don't know why.

i snorted and subsequently ate snot covered ants once. Pure protein apparently.
Syat away from the red ones, they're toxic.

I've eaten almost every kind of raw seafood you can imagine, although I don't think it's strange.

I once ate a yellow jacket. Tasted VERY sour and bitter. I would not recommend it. It kept bothering me, and somehow found its way into my mouth while I was eating something. The next thing I knew, I had bright yellow chunks in my mouth...

Frog legs and Rattlesnake. Both were actually pretty good.

Hate to say it, but frog legs do taste like chicken...
