I'm totally on board with that Rueben dip poo poo.

Balut


This is similar to a french "delicacy" known as Ortolan. Its basically just a small bird that gets force fed, then drowned in Armagnac before cooking and then consumed whole, bones and all. Its traditional to cover your head with a cloth when you eat it, to preserve the aromas and to hide your shame from god. I've also heard that part of the intended experience is the inside of your mouth getting shredded by the bones so the taste of your own blood mingles with the bird.



Heres a clip of Jeremy Clarkson trying some https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y4MS7mSzX8

Well, we are talking about pretty much the most flavorless and uninteresting thing on earth. Although I do like the sparkling kind.

This is like saying air is too bland to breath if isn't filled with smoke or fumes. Could we get back to discussing actually weird food and not poo poo like tomatoes or loving water?



Scorpion pasties anyone?

From a couple pages ago, but the handmade ones are awesome. We have this giant outdoor swap meet here and every few hundred feet is a vendor selling Clamato and Bud. Practically every adult you see wandering around has one in their hand...at 9am.

But why does it have to be Budweiser? That stuffs piss and anyone who drinks it has no taste in beer.

At least they aren't ruining an actually good brand.

Duck Tongue!



I guess they're a fairly popular hot pot ingredient. They look a bit funny but taste fine, very little meat though.

I was served duck hearts at a bar and I was a little suspicious at first, but they were pretty tasty. They were like eating olives made of steak.



Its still a little weird to be served a bowl of entire organs that your supposed eat like finger food. Apparently they're good on toast too?
