re: Most unique food you've eaten in another city or foreign country (ADD PICS)

Well the pictures in the title didn't help

I've eaten basically tail to snout of all kinds of land animals, organ and odd cuts don't bother me really all cooked and prepared pretty normally. I mean fried squirrel brains, ox tail soup, liver and onions, Chitlins, etc I'll eat all day long. I lover lesser cuts of venison, beef, etc. Raw food, raw eggs, etc. are no issue at all.

I went to Paris when I was 18 with my family and I think I ate some type of squirrel or rodent fish. The word the lady used I looked up in my dictionary and it was mouse and she made a gesture like a mouse running down the table, but I may have mis heard her or she was trying to say something similar as I had to use an actual book translator and didn't speak a lick of French. That was good food too, some kind of stew.

I can't get over incredibly fishy fish and some badly fermented stuff though.

I love seafood and stuff like squid ink pasta in Italy that tastes pretty normal is great. But when you get the nasty fishy fish or what not, I can't seem to make myself even stomach it. That certain flavor is just not something I can ever stomach.

Escamoles while in Mexico. It’s a really buttery, nutritious dish and it makes a great taco. Mine looked exactly like this:




Only problem is that it’s aunt larvae . If you didn’t know what it was you’d probably like it. Can’t say I was ever fully able to get it out of my mind.

I get an opportunity for the ant soup later this year

Durian in Thailand. Smells of rotting meat but is considered a local delicacy. They also have hear black rotted eggs in pink shells with a half developed chicken inside. I refused to try one of those

The Durian was ok...creamy texture unlike any other fruit I have ever seen.
