OT - Have you ever eaten any 'exotic' meat?

Camel never made me cumin burgers. Did not excite me at all in fact.

 

Buddhists will not drink Earl Grey because their belief is " all property is theft "

 

I've had poached eggs. Mind i don't know why they poach em as you can buy them cheap enough.

 

this one?

I remember being in The Hague playing in a football tournament, I would have been in my early twenties then. We had to raise the money for the trip ourselves by doing sponsored walks etc.
Anyway, we got over to Holland and the footy competition was fantastic, it was great to play against other European teams, but l digress.
Most of the lasses were skint and each day we would go to this mobile vendor and get a spicy sausage in a roll, very cheap and we lived on them the entire trip. Presumed it was beef, turned out to be horse, have to say it tasted great.
Also really like squid but not octopus, once tried Sea Urchin, yuk, yuk, yuk.

 

Not that adventurous with my food. Yuk.

 

Actually sea urchin can be quite nice.

There's a place in Queens that serves live octopus. They chop the legs up and serve it while still wiggling. I've not yet been drunk enough, but I'm bound to get ****ed up enough at some point and try it.

 

I agree, you'd ace to be legless to try that

 

Had snake many a time..

Crocodile, buffalo, scorpion....in fact to much strange stuff...still havn't tried dog yet though..

 

Often had a hair of the dog that bit me.

 

Goat is good, especially when its curried, only downside is it has lots of bones to contend with.
Once had goats head soup cooked for me by a Rastafarian friend, tasted delicious, but ate it mostly with my eyes closed.
Also tried eel pie once, which suffice to say was one time to many. Lol

 

Eel, when cooked well is lovely. There used to be a restaurant around the corner from me in Antwerpen which specialised in horse meat and eel.

I'm not a fan of horsemeat as that tastes a little tart compared to beef but their eel was simply divine. Have it filletted though, otherwise it's a right bugger of a dish.

 

what did the eel taste like?

 

Eel tell you after I've tried it.

 

boom boom!

He may not come back on as he is a slippery customer...

 

I had steamed eel at a Chinese the other week - wasn't overly impressed, had a really strong fish flavour and was a little slimy - a bit like old salmon

 

Some of you 'Brave' diners have tried things that would challenge Bear Grylls, certainly not for me though, if I'm honest a lot of the things mentioned I wouldn't try because I wouldn't like the texture, not just because of what it actually is.

So to add to not wanting to try squid, (heard it can be chewy), wouldn't want to try eel, or jellied eel, or anything snotty!

 

anyone tried jellied eels?

 

I'd rather taste the little tart.

 

No. it's a sickly cockney dirty habit.
