What's the weirdest, strangest and/nastiest...

So did the monkey brains taste like mushrooms? Chuck ate monkey meat when he was in the service. Possibly your leftover monkey?
 
It was in 1968 & I followed it with so much terrible tasting Vietnamese beer that I had a hangover & was sick for days - from the warm beer!
 
Suuuuuuuuuuure it was the warm beer Tony. We believe you. 1968, Chuck was in then too. I'm certain it was your leftover monkey.

I was just a young hippie then, still in high school, not even driving.

Tony we use to get treated to Monkey Blood wine up in Laos. Never got to the brain stuff. After all I was not Army.
 
I've traveled the world over in some highly sensitive positions, most dealing with either teaching or supporting indigenous peoples...in those positions, one always works to gain their confidence...that means understanding their culture & living as they live...including eating what they eat.

So, in Germany, I ate Gebackenes Euter (you don't want to know), on an island in the middle of the Bering Strait I ate seal brain fritters, on one of the northern Japanese islands, seal flippers, in Belgium, raw horse meat, & in Korea stuff that even I don't want to know (going back for the month of December)....but, there aren't many free ranging dogs or cats in that country!
 
Bear- but I wouldn't eat it.........I worked for a game processor in Wyoming. A bear never gets rigamortis. When it is skinned it looks just like a human, We hung it in a cooler and when the Hormel man brought /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif our half & quarter beef deliveries. we put a wig and gloves on it and hid in the basement as he went through the coolers.......all we heard was oh #@$# and this poor man runnning through the coolers while we all died laughing-except he wouldn't come pack whith our orders so we hadto pay double to get our orders out to the restraunts!!!!!!!!! A bear has an exact duplicate of a human body chest & all-----like cutting up your brother-our butcher would call in sick if he knew one was coming in! what wonderful tidbits of info we share!!

Gebackenes Euter
Euter=udder
500 gm cow's udder (a generous lb)
1 egg, beaten
1 plain breadcrumbs
100 gm butter (7 tbsp)
1 salt
1 pepper

In order to remove all traces of milk, put the udder into lukewarm water and let soak for 2 to 4 hours, permitting the water to cool off. Then cook the udder in a 2-percent to 3- percent salt water solution until tender. Remove from the cooking liquid and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices. Let the slices dry a bit. Season on both sides, dip into whisked egg, and then into breadcrumbs. Fry in butter, turning once, until golden brown on both sides. Serve with lettuce. Serves 4.
 
Biest(dutch) sounds like Beast in english. Now health food nuts pay extra for it.
On the farm we ate about everything from the the cow /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/pukeface.gif.

tony, people can easily say they wouldnt eat certain things when sitting at home with a full belly, they would amaze themselves after not eating anything after four or five days though! just need a week or so of survival school to learn em. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Boy did I make a mistake reading this thread - Jaybird, you are evil! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif

Yeah, I ate some weird and disgusting stuff during survival school (and other times), but I try not to bring it back up - then or now /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/pukeface.gif (ok, bad joke - I know)

I admit I have never understood why some people thinks it makes them tough or 'a real man' because of something they ate - my brother-in-law used to brag about how tough he was because he ate hot peppers all the time ... until his ulcer put him in the hospital. Now I never hear a peep from him.

Most of the weird and nasty stuff I've recently eaten has been vegetarian... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/pukeface.gif

Though I do avoid unusual animals and/or unusual parts of familiar ones....

I eat for enjoyment and nourishment, survival isn't an issue... though the native vegetarians need such mollification once in a while. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif

Well I guess that all rules out haggis James. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
I try most things at least once,mushrooms? a no-no /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/pukeface.gif
(and I mean /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/pukeface.gif,literally.)
My mother used to say(when we wouldn't eat our supper)"You'll eat that,before it eats you!"
For me the bad thing is brussells sprouts.

So far the one thing this thread has proven to me is that if you slice anything into quarter to half inch slices and fry them up, people will eat it. Secondly, people have half to quarter as much good sense as good taste (or is that vice-versa)!

....& I've learned that, while we in America think the rest of the world eats strange things, the rest of the world thinks we eat strange things!
 
Tony's monkey brains still have my vote.....

Liver & onions were a staple in the UK, and in my area faggots were a favourite (look it up) together with mushy peas. Jellied eel, pigs feet and brains (could never eat those personally).
 
Went thru "snake school" in the Phillipines (twice... long, silly story: team of USAF & Army SF in a "bonding" exercise), arctic survival in Washington state, water survival here in Florida. Egress/ejection seat training & altitude chamber card in Virginia... ate steak in the last two instances. The others were not so "civilised" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Ate with the natives (not th' "yards" tho) in-country (RVN) & Laos. No CLUE what some of *that* stuff was, don't care. I gotta say: I'd eat anything Thai folk presented. Those people know how to eat. Even tried "Nook-mam"... That ranks at the top of my "No Thanks" list. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Oh my word, my son loves Nook-mam. He was in country at just the right age I expect. You all know that is fermented fish juice.
