Englebert Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 I'm not very adventurous when trying exotic or strange foods. I grew up with Cajun friends so I have eaten some things: Blackbird Squirrel Coon Nutria Gar Dog food (had to try it once) Had to swallow my pride a few times.

baddog Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Chocolate covered ants, grasshopper, and bees. No, I didn't like them but tried them. Don't care much for wild game except for deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time, I had a whole plate full of food. Started back to my table and saw this gigantic bowl of already peeled boiled shrimp. Had to take plate to table & go back and get a plate full of them. Average person would've been in trouble, but I maned up and ate it all, and like you, couldn't eat dessert. UTfanatic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvc184 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 If squirrels, various birds, gator , wild pig and deer are strange.... I guess I have eaten something strange. Those seem like everyday fare in southeast TX but obviously not everyone has eaten it. Seems far from "strange" however. "Maybe" in that category that I have eaten is pig ear salad and jellyfish salad..... and maybe strange for most people (including me), haggis.

They're actually pretty good...like anything I guess...an acquired taste. If it was on the table, we figured out how to like it. baddog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvc184 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 I always figured that if something was an acquired taste, there are usually no reason to acquire it. thetragichippy, new tobie and baddog 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't grow up in my house...you either "acquired" a taste for what we had or waited for the next meal...Mom didn't cook any alternative foods. Teenage boys always opted to acquire rather than wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
