Food & Drink "Weird" foreign foods

[ezikel315]

What food from other cultures do you like that may be considered weird by people where you're from?

Stinky aged cheese? Fermented fish? Live octopus? Durian? Insects? Pineapple on pizza?

This may not be that weird to some, but I enjoy organ meat. I grew up around middle class white people who thought it's gross to eat chicken or turkey gizzard but I always thought if you're going to eat an animal, might as well eat all of it.
In less developed countries, I enjoy eating dishes with congealed blood cubes, lungs, heart, etc. I love how in countries like Mexico and Vietnam, they use every part of the animal. I haven't tried it, but I'd try brain.

I also love stinky french cheese although it took me time to get used to. I still can't used to fermented fish or durian. Insects just don't taste good in general. I don't see the point of eating live octopus since it tastes better cooked.

I have eaten some unusual cuts

Like the tongue of a cow. Which is really good actually.

Also the tail. Very tender soft meat it melts in your mouth. One of the best cuts you could try

Oh and chicken heart, pigs nose and some others I can't remember right now

I saw a video of cow tongue tacos and it has me intrigued. I've had buffalo tail soup in Thailand but I can't remember how it tasted.

Another weird one might be sea urchin. I don't care for the taste but I would eat them just because I don't like them.

Tongue is great. It's extremely hard to do it properly so I heard. I only had it in steaks like form

Looks like this




And the tail looks like this

Aside from eating animals that are still living, I've had a lot of the weird food. Liked most of it. Especially organ meats. I used to cook tongue, ears, kidneys, whatever.

Do people still think menudo is weird? If so, that's my pick. There's nothing better than a big bowl of menudo on a cold day.

"A savory pudding, traditionally encased in an animal's stomach, made with sheep's pluck (heart, liver, and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, and mixed with stock."

I'd eat that. One of the more appealing British dishes.

I watch a ton of 90 Day Fiance, funny that an American guy whose house is the size of a postage stamp to the point of his mum sleeping in a cupboard has a gigantic cage for his Guinea pigs imported a wife from Peru.

I also remembered I tried sparrow meat and croc tail in vietnam. Sparrow was fine but too boney. Croc meat was pretty good. Like a combination of fish and chicken.

I don't know if this counts as foreign but the first time I had frog was in the deep South. Not bad either.

I can't buy it fresh here but recently bought some in cans from Amazon and made Haggis sausages. Add some pork fat before you stuff them and they're lovely. Haha, forgot that I ground up venison to put in as well so venison and haggis sausages.

Christmas dinner used to be Haggis stuffed pheasant with fresh Haggis which I used to steep in Glenmorangie.
