1. Ha ha ha! Yeah had a work trip to Japan a little while back, it was fun and I tried a few things that were a bit 'different'. Actually the horse was nice!
2. I have eaten Kangaroo in Melbourne.
3. A snack of peanut butter on raw cabbage and rolled up.
4. I don’t know exactly WHAT it was I was eating but it was something on a stick in Laos that looked like a grasshopper – kinda crunchy with some legs hanging around and fried (to mask the taste no doubt!!)
5. Roasted Bat with mushrooms
6. raw horse in Japan
7. Soysages with vitamin b12 pills and cumin peanut butter sauce..
8. Takoyaki = a dumpling that looks like a plain dumpling but when you bite into it there is a baby octopus inside
9. A soup in China with little bits of fish from the local lake and in the bottom of the soup, the greens were the weed that the fish ate in the lake. And I don't eat fish!
10. Deep fried crickets out of a can...
11. During the eighties I spent a year backpacking in NZ, and stayed regularly with a group of vegetarian friends. During the winter months the vegetables available to us in a place like Arthur’s Pass were quite limited. Cabbages could be had though- and I recall ‘Cabbage Quiche’ being rather weird…
12. Smoked Snapper Cheeks!
13. My husband and I ate crock skippy and emu when we went to Cains for our honeymoon.
14. Big fat juicy chewy snails in NZ
15. It was a desert sorbet that was Beetroot, accompanied with chocolate.
16. Sorry I missed the last quiz but my favourite is a sandwich made with peanut butter and bacon. Absolutely delicious. ....
17. alpaca and sweet potatoes kebab on the steps of inca temple in Peru....or horse sashimi (i.e. raw) in Japan.
18. A few years ago, we ate dog soup in China, but fortunately we did not know it until we were back on the tourist busL Prior to this in Singapore, we had partaken also of Turtle soup but luckily it was so hot and spicy that neither of us could actually eat it, feet and all floating around in the liquid…Not something I would like to repeat.
19. The weirdest meal I’ve ever eaten was Crocodile Pizza in Australia, I also drunk an alcoholic drink from a bottle with a huge Lizard floating in it over in Spain….Really Weird.
20. my 7 yr old made me breakfast in bed recently... it was yoghurt on toast garnished with a mint leaf.
21. I just love peanut butter and tinned tuna on toast xxx
22. Bat, yep a bat
23. A wholemeal bread roll spread with Sardines, whipped cream and raspberry jam...sounds terrible but really quite morish!
24. I ate eggs on an Island in the Indian Ocean where there were NO chooks.........hmm not sure where they came from .......I arrived on the supply boat and there were no egg cartons either........
25. The weirdest thing I have ever eaten was dog in a yoghurt chutney that was cold in the middle of Afghanistan.
26. Chicken soup with chicken feet floating in the soup.
27. How about Peanut Butter and Chicken flavoured Potato Chip Sandwiches, what’s more we never had a knife so we spread the peanut butter on with a spanner from the car toolbox!
28. cottage cheese with peanut butter, honey and dates on a rice cracker
29. or when competing, I had egg whites mixed in with protein shake only, and microwaved!
30. Hi - I lived in India for a year on a youth exchange programme where I ate all sorts of weird and wonderful things like raw chillies!! One of my most unusual experiences was walking down to the "dairy" with a pail to collect buffalo milk! The buffalo were kept in this little building - the dairy, and regularly milked by hand. Our servant Gopal would then boil the milk with sugar, rosewater and other things added to make delicious Indian sweets called "Gulab Jamon" and "Burfee". These were very rich and sweet. Obviously the local dairy in New Delhi was quite different from our local dairies here!!
31. Possum stew when we had no money
32. First, when I was travelling through South America, I tried llama, which just tasted like a brown meat. The most horrible thing I've ever eaten, was when I accidentally forgot that I'd broken a fingernail when I was watching a DVD one night, put it in a used cup to put into the bin later. And, you guessed it, I forgot, used the cup for soup and wondered about the weird shaped crouton I had to fish out of my mouth - gross!
33. Guinea Pig in Cuzco, Peru. The weirdest thing was the way it was presented, whole, upright standing on the dinner plate complete with fangs
34. I once had a banana, peanut butter, and boiled egg sandwich. I had it more than once it’s really quite nice.
35. Deep fried haggis – purchased at a fish ‘n’ chips takeaways in Scotland
36. he weirdest meal I have had is marmite and avocado on toast! I thought it sounded horrid when someone told me about it but it was actually really nice
37. I don’t know if this counts as a “meal” but the weirdest thing I ever ate was “vicks vapour rub”. I know …. It’s really gross. But I was heavily pregnant at the time and just couldn’t help myself.
38. While living in Japan we were out to lunch and were presented with a tray of food - a variety of raw fish of different colours, which had been thinly sliced and sculpted into a beautiful picture. In the corner by way of decoration was a chrysanthemum flower. It seemed a shame to destroy the design, but we delicately ate our way through everything. We were told to eat the flower! It was very bitter and extremely difficult to chew, let alone swallow. My husband tried his first and whispered to me to not chew it but swallow it whole - but I couldn't manage it - that was my weirdest meal.
39. A skewer of crunchy beasties that had been cooked over an open fire on one of those big drums set on a sidewalk corner in Beijing.
40. I once made a carrot, courgette and cottage cheese “cake”. It was meant to be a healthy, high protein cake but it just would not bake fully and it was like vegetable mush. My Husband said it was revolting but I was too proud to bin it, so I ate it in front of him and pretended it was delicious (ha!)
41. French fries with hot custard on top!
42. Lining of goat’s intestines…
43. I love eating salt and sweet together. So something like twisties and ice cream is great! You should try it! :)
44. I love having cold milo and not mixing the milo in and eating it with a spoon and in between spoonfuls having nibbles of cheese :P
45. Hayden has eaten chicken feet and pigs trotters as well as boiled pighead which he cooked when i was pregnant and i was gagging down the other end of the house!!
46. Crocodile meatballs in peanut sauce (bet it wasn’t Pic peanut butter though! LOL)
47. Chutney on icecream
48. When I first met my now husband, he wanted to test my sense of humour by cooking a meal for me.
49. The entree was battered chicken feet. Now I know this is a delicacy in China but he is European.I did however return the favour by going to the Asian food shop in Northcote and got deep fried pigs ears. I sat them on a pile of rice with sliced carrots for the nose and eyes.At least I tried the chicken feet but he just about puked at the pigs ears... I won that contest and you guest right. He has never tried to test me again.
50. the strangest thing I have ever eaten is guinea pig while on holiday in Peru. it was really nice too.
51. The weirdest thing I have ever eaten is the Australian witchetty grub – tasted just like peanut butter after sautéing on the bbq! Wasn’t too bad really, but definitely weird.
52. When we lived in Fiji, we were invited out for some interesting meals, by local people. One day we had this meal, which looked like crab meat. Inside were vanilla pods, full of beans. When I asked what it was (after eating it, the Fijians laughed. It was a giant centipead, with a sting (which they kindly removed).It was pink and chewy, but didn't taste fishy. The open vanilla pods, with the beans inside did disguise the taste (a little). But I never went to tea again. Not with these folk!!
53. Chili poached duck tongue. Weirdest texture ever. I'm sure the peanut butter would taste much better :)
54. Boiled rice with minted peas and spring onions put it into the wok and fried altogether with oil and a dash of curry and peanut butter making a satay rice. Then added tuna to it...Was nice until I added the tuna, should have had that separate from the satay fried rice…
55. Type your weirdest meal here....it would have to be honey coated crickets in Thailand!
56. not really a meal and not really that weird (and sorry that it includes peanut butter).... but my all time favourite sandwich is Vogels bread with peanut butter then topped with cottage cheese and raisins.
57. Ok it was in Shanghai, at a local restaurant and I ate turtle...in a kind of soup broth, it was like strange little teeny pieces of meat with wee bones, like cut up chicken pieces (neck maybe) with choy vegetables. Taste - almost Asian chicken-like!
58. When we were children, on a nice summer’s day, we would be served freshly washed, crisp lettuce leaves for lunch, and we would sprinkle these with sugar, fold in, roll up, and crunch away. Delicious !
59. The weirdest meal I ate was Vogel’s Toast, covered with a cheese slice, topped with chicken 2minute noodles.
60. The weirdest thing I have eaten - I love eating slices of Lemons with soy sauce
61. Marmite, Avocado and Tuna on toast!! :D yum and quick
62. My weirdest meal (but my favorite) is porridge and apple sauce with chocolate protein power - YUM!!
63. For me it was cat food. My dad opened a can of cat food on a chopping board which he dropped some on it. I later placed my toast on the same board and buttered up with jam. At the first bite got a horrible taste
64. I went to the Hokitika Wild Food Festival in March 2008 so this preface may well explain the following!:Testicle Stew (this was actually VERY nice! Full of flavour and nothing 'ball - like' floating around at all! hahahaha!),Dolphin (okay, so NOT flipper but a legally caught fish known as Dolphin fish.), Cheval - locally known as horse. And yes, I am a horse rider but this is no different to eating any other meat.Live huhu grubs - like peanut butter WITH the crunch!, Worms in vodka, Kangaroo, snake, and snails .... all very boring after the above!
65. I had deep fried heu heu ( who who) bugs when I was a child. My Dad told me they were crinkle cut fries!
66. Raw mince meat with raw egg- yuk
67. Fried sparrow in Hong Kong
68. In Shanghai at a 600 year old water town, the restaurant we ate at served "turtle" a very distinctive taste, and lots of little bits n pieces. Never seen or tasted anything like it.
