Chinese 100 year old egg. It's not really a hundred years old, just...pickled somehow. Extremely nasty.

Dried cuttlefish. Delicious.

Frog's legs taste nothing like chicken, they really don't taste like anything, very flavorless.

Mutton tacos. Magically delicious.

Pigeon aka squab. Suculent.

Shark's fin soup. I won't eat it again because sharks are being fished out of the oceans because of it, but it was sooooo good.

While I was enlisted in the Coast Guard, I was a cook aboard my ship, the USCGC Courageous. As a cook, I had ready access to all the boat's dry-stores, which included those nice single-pack cereals. It was my habit to snack on cereal at night, on the mess-deck, while watching a movie on the TV. The messdeck was always dark after sundown, except for the light from the TV and a couple of red lights (dog-zebra conditions). One night I was munching on some Raisin Bran, when I looked down into the cereal, and something didn't seem quite right -- the cereal seemed to be moving. I turned on the lights in the messdeck only to discover dozens of bo-weavels swimming about in my Raisin Bran. I'd eaten about half of the cereal. I chose not to finish the cereal, and I then spent about the next hour scrubbing out my mouth and picking weaval-pieces from between my teeth.

Pickled eggs seem to be popular among Filipinos and Mexicans. Never tried them, nor do I ever want to.

Here? Probably deep-fried calamari. It took me a while to get used to finding miniature squid in the food, but what the hell. Very tasty with lemon.

Sand-covered hot dog I found on a baseball field years and years ago.

Maggots. Dried (I think), then fried, with wite rice and tobasco sauce. Actually, they werent that bad. I think they were dried first; they had the texture and flavor of beef jerky.

I've had whole pickled baby octopus. Thats a little creepy.

I've eaten live insects (grasshoppers and worms).

I've eaten dead insects (grubs and other bits and pieces).

Dog food (on a bet).

and the one that I know is gonna get me flamed:

Whale.

Ok, Ando, what did it taste like? Fishy? Beef? I'm highly curious.

Like a cross between a really really good marlin steak and a kinda of greasy, beefy/muttony flavour.

Really really really hard to pin it down as I only had a little bit.

*edit* However I can see why the Japanese are so keen on keeping a flow of it coming*

I've heard good things about the taste of pigeons. And is dried cuttlefish better then sitr-fry? If so, I've got mollusks to masticate.

Ate a red ant by accident once. It was spicy.

I eat calamari and other squid dishes any time I can get it, have had octopuss, eel, shark, snails, ostrich, allegator, and probably some other things i can't remember right now. I didn't really find any of them 'weird' to eat.

On one trip to Florida I orderd a fish called "scrod" that was on the menu. Too this day I never had a clear idea of what type of fish this is? Is it a bottom feeder or something (maybe some of you good ol' boys from the south would know)? Alls I know is that it was deep fried and tasted great!

The squab was at a Chinese restaurant, and minced. It was well seasoned, but really fantastic. The cuttlefish was out of a plastic bag, it was slightly fishy but sweet, the way shrimp is sweet. And did you mean masticate or mascerate???

Once I had ikura, which is salmon cavier. The stuff looks cool as hell (sort of like red jello), until it comes time to put it in your mouth. Fortunately, it was served with salmon sashimi and thus was alright.

Now, I'm a huge sashimi fan and stuff, but I just don't like fish eggs.

A strange-tasting dessert involving some sort of watermelon stew. (no, really!)

I also recall swallowing chewing gum, but that was by accident.

One of my relatives - can't remember whom - also once ate a coin. A coin. Oh my....

You know, the funny thing about this question is that you know someone here has eaten poop. You know who you are. Out of all these people here, at some point in your life, during childhood, during a bet, during some bizarre sex act, one of you has eaten a loaf.
