I was in Korea and ate poached fish stomachs, with the contents intact.

Did not know what is was at the time, won’t do it again!

Every so often we have a party and mix up a seafood chowder. Pretty much anything we catch. Mussels, barnacles, sea cucumbers, clams, cod, etc. plus mozzarella cheese, butter and white wine. The recipe varies but it is always good.

No fooling. Years ago I was hunting on some leased property near Dublin, Ga. One day when I was walking back to camp I stepped over a log that was sheltering an Eastern Diamond Back Rattler. It struck up at me and managed to get its fangs caught in the rip stop thread of the army camo pants I was wearing right at about knee level. The pants were baggy enough that the fangs didn't really find skin and kinda just scratched my skin and did not really inject a lot of venom. I was wearing a Jim Bowie type knife on my hip and used it the seperate the snakes head from it's body while the fangs were still hung up in the pants fabric.

Thank goodness the incident occurred just feet from the truck and my buddies quickly got me in the truck rushing off to the nearest hospital for some anti venom shots. One of my buddies even had enough forethought to throw the snake's body in the cooler to take it along for identification.

After the ride to the hospital and back we got back just about dinner time. We figured what the heck, so we took the snakes body skinned it out and threw it on the BBQ grill doused with a little lemon juice and butter. We stired up a little wild rice and had a fantastic dinner that tasted a little lick chicken and rice.

I took the skin and the five section rattle and made a hatband for my black felt floppy hat that I wear to this day. And when anyone ask me about the hat I tell them this story about eating the rattle snake that bit me.

I've had Haggis but did not particularly like it. I guess buffalo Testicles at a restaurant in North Bay would be the weirdest for me

I don' think I saw anyone mention Spam. Used to get it as a kid once in awhile (probably before pay day). In Seattle they have a version of Marti Gras called Fat Tuesday and they have a Spam carving contest.

 

Raw Moon Snails right off the beach was taught to me by a Phillipino, very tasty. Got a mess of Sea Slugs scuba diving once, if you take them out of water they turn into snot, the idea is to clean them in the water and get a strip of meat that when it is cooked is the size of one of the miniature corn cobs, but very good. Someone else mentioned pickled pigs feet, a regular at my Grandmother's house, and when she visited her relatives in North Dakota at "the farm" she would always bring back head cheese. Went to a church that was a Sweedish spin off of the Lutheran church and got exposed to Lutefisk (fish dissolved in dye in a cheese cloth bag). Hawaiians like Poi but it tasted like Elmer's glue to me. Any insects in chocolate sound great for dessert.

If anyone ever goes to Hawaii - get used to - Spam is a staple that no local cupboard is without. Also, Spam and eggs are a breakfast entree at McDonald's.

EVERCLEAR is that stuff that when I was "Young and Stupid" I mixed up in the cooler a lot of cut-up fruit and many types of juices (mostly grape).

Well, I got older!!! And maybe a little wiser ! ? !
