Thread: What is the Stupidest thing you have ever EATEN......???

Cambodian specialty, deep-fried spider ... crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside. Pic by me, not of me but a travelling chum. I had a leg.

A bit of wild chicken would be nice!
Meat in gravy served on rice - but what was the meat? It tasted like a bit like chicken with a different texture.
It turned out to be frog.
After the initial shock of realising what it was, it was thoroughly enjoyable.

Frog is quite good really, northern thailand Laos you could get then of the street vendors BBQ on a stick, looks like a spread eagle black frog lollypop.

couldn't get my head around them eggs with feathers inside.

swollowed a whole spider when i was younger, dont know what sort as it went straight down, heres a lesson kid's when riding your bike late at night stay way from riding under massive tree's and make sure you keep your mouth closed..

I swallowed a large golden orb spider while sucking in the big ones during an uphill contact drill when I was an infantry soldier. I actually sucked it into my mouth and clamped down it to stop it going into my oesophagus. The most vile bitter terrible thing I have ever tasted.....I spat for hours.

ok the fried insect thing in Thailand/Cambodia/Laos/Vietnam etc...

no big deal, I've eaten em all and they are more like potato chips than anything else - never been sick either with plenty of opportunites over the years...

I've eaten a briyani that had 20% maggots cooked into the rice - near indistinguishable from the rice except with higher protein



the cockroach from a public toilet - raw? alive? or cooked? if cooked, no big deal... if wiggling... you have my vote so far as it was by choice!

Does McDonalds count?

my in utero sibling, I cant prove it, but I was a big baby.
