The strangest animal you've ever eaten?

[Janana]

you just reminded me janana,(oz animals) kangaroo i have had but no crocodile.

I heard from my sister that minced kangaroo is actually cheaper than ground beef? Thought groceries in general cost much more there but still :P

[faye]

kangaroo smells ghastly when being cooked. i wouldn't use it. someone else cooked what i ate. it was just ok.

[Janana]

Oh, I nearly forgot - chocolate covered grasshoppers and frog legs. That's about it for me :/

I once went to a Burn's night where I was served Haggis after the poetry recitation. This was my initiation into Scots culture when quite honestly I would have been happy with shortbread and gooseberries. The stuffing apparently was oat, chopped apples, minced intestine and other offal type left overs. I politely declined a second serving and no I did not don a kilt.

I have been served octopus and squid but I is not impressed with slimy sea creatures with tentacles.

Anyone eat things like larrey and shattingey?

Oh and has anyone had roast goose, English country style? Apparently you're supposed to hang the goose and let it go rank (i.e. you let it rot over a period of a few weeks/month or so and allow the maggots to get to it). You then roast the whole lot.

Turtle meat tasted so good that in the 1800s Charles Darwin and his crew ate all the turtle they found before catalogging them and sending them to the British Museum.

It is apparently the tastiest food in the world.



And tor khan, really? I have never heard of that :/ Those rich countryside people are just weird.



The weirdest thing i've eaten are mussels...and they aren't even that weird. I've had duck before as well.

Are oysters, squid, octopus and and mussels halal?

It depends on who you ask.

I've always been told that anything living in the sea as long as it is not a carnivore or amphibious is halal. But I think some Muslims believe that all sea life including fish is haram and others think only fish is halal.

i had deer once, in borneo. it had been hunted in the nearby forest. that was nice meat.

[Sher Malang]

I ate worms.

[Gulbabo]

goat meat

bleeeekhhh (hate it)

[IamDZJ]

I didn't like deer meat. Ducks neither. And turkies.

I've heard that in Indonesia they eat fried monkey toes & bats...

My dad visited a village outside of Hong Kong. They had a hole in the center of the table and a live monkey sitting caged and restrained. They used a small saw to cut the skull open and eat the brains while the monkey was screeching and dying.

All seafood is halal. In Surah Maidah, Allah says: Lawful to you is the pursuit of water-game and its use for food,- for the benefit of yourselves and those who travel; but forbidden is the pursuit of land-game;- as long as ye are in the sacred precincts or in pilgrim garb. And fear Allah, to Whom ye shall be gathered back. Based on this ayah, it is usually interpreted that all creatures in the ocean are halal.
