Spotted it in a magazine in my Dentist's waiting room.

Hurry while stocks last!

 

That would be a lovely Xmas present

Thanks Tewkes but at £175 I may have to give a miss!!

 

Can't put a price on such exquisite craftsmanship, fruitbat!

 

I ate a fruitbat when I was touring India. Its meat actually tasted like fruit, very sweet - and purple in colour.

 

OMG Ponders, and to think I was having second thoughts about buying a pack of reindeer steaks from LIDL...

 

I honestly don't think I could bring myself to eat bat, fruit or otherwise. There are loads of arcane things to eat, chocolate ants, moths, monkeys heads etc and I want none of it. Sausage and chips, and I'm a happy bunny.

 

Can't eat snails, whelks, oysters or similar crustacea but I've had squirrel, snake, sea slug, caribou, alligator, kangaroo, warthog, horse, frogs legs and a variety of deer and antelopes.

Have to say, none of it was terribly memorable, but curiosity always gets the better of me when food's concerned.

One of my friends who spent a good deal of time as an English language teacher in Saudi once ate mouse, camel and gerbil at a banquet.

Love sausages, especially the local Gloucester Old Spot variety round these parts.

 

When in Mexico, I tried grasshoppers that had been fried in salt and tabasco. They were scrummy.

But I stopped short of balut in the Philippines. The sight of it was just too ghastly.

 

If you go to France and are offered 'chitterling sausages' can't remember the French name for them.... DON'T ORDER THEM!!!!... they are swine ...... really really swine!

 

We all love cheese, don't we? Ever seen it under a powerful microscope??????????

 

I think that The Valley will need a new menu judging by some of the disgusting things that you guys have eaten

 

Yeah, I've had a pasty from the kiosks.

Give me the chitterling bangers any day of the week!

 

I unknowingly ate dog. Still can't look them in the eye when walking in the park/down the road.

 

Andouillette - once tasted, never forgotten, although I wish I could.

Super, that's just barking...

Reminds me of the Park Ji-Sung chant.

 

French people eat Sheffield Wednesday fans??

 

I've eaten worse than that tewkes. I am partial to cinema hit dogs.

 

Yee gods Mary!

Not only do you eat dogs ,,,, you also hit them?

You will be telling IA that you eat Sheffield Wednesday fans next!

 

Reminds me of a cartoon in Private Eye: A Korean couple were sitting in a restaurant, the man had a small dog on his plate and was smothering it in ketchup. His wife said to him disapprovingly "You'll spoil that dog!"

 

Yee gods? Tewkes, stop signing in to AH's account!! Only Sheffield Wednesday fans that are firemen. God they make my blood boil.
