Aint nobody gonna top that. Might match it, ain't gonna top it...

I ate a balut (duck egg embryo) in Vietnam. Tasted okay, but man, that one was hard to get down from a psychological point.

I saw a kid about 10 years old pick a booger and wipe it off his finger on the cherry tomatoes at a Ryans about 30 years ago. Big old lady about 10 feet from him got there before I could warn her and grabbed a sizeable portion of those booger tainted bastards....I was torn between warning her and watching in horrified fascination. I chose the latter. Have often thought if I did the right thing or not...


What it did do was break me from the habit of eating at buffets LOL....

Saw this and joined in...


Worked with a mostly Filipino work force on a Carribean island for nearly 4 years once. Working with them was pretty much a bass employee situation....until I met a group of them at one of the docks where I kept boats and they were having dinner. They had been drinking and asked if I wanted a beer, an offer I seldom turn down. They were eating sun dried squid and asked if I wanted to try it. I did not but that would not have been very social of me so I said sure. This was not the same sundried squid that is sold all over Asia....that is pretty damned tasty....this was bait squid they had purchased, fished with that morning and when they got back to the hill sandwiched between 2 window screens and more or less dried it out in the sun. It was accompanied by a vinegar based hot sauce that would make a coon arse weep and a Red Stripe. It was pretty damned offensive....smelled way worse than it tasted. Was accepted into that group from then on which made my time on the Island infinitely more interesting than it would have been otherwise.

Having proven myself with them with the sundried squid a few weeks later they were eating rock iguanas and asked if I wanted to try it. Again I said yes. It was not horrible.

Finally a few weeks after this it was bananna rat. Again, It wasn't terrible, about like a possum.

My wife and the other Americans there were convinced I had lost my mind but my willingness to try their cuisine created a bond that no one else in my position would have ever had with them....it helped that I managed to get some lights on their make shift cricket pitch and before I left the island it had been properly groomed and was as good as most in the Caribbean... they even tried to teach me the game.

A friend of mine had his dad at his bachelor party in ATL at tattle tales. The dad ate something (I imagine) many many men had eaten before but not in front of ten guys and his son.
