Oh no I could never eat these things, I could not even think about eating snails because they are so slimy and I would never eat frogs because I like frogs alive, and from what I hear they are treated very cruel by some that just take their legs and while they are alive and throw them away left to suffer...oh never never, frogs are beautiful creatures alive.

you must have a rather healthy environment as they say frogs are a good sign on that, when there are no frogs it is a very bad sign...

I saw this one time on discovery channel.A native man was cooking one over a little fire in the desert.He seemed to like it alot by the way he was chewing!I dont think that i could try it though.I just find it weird,because we eat cooked chicken legs,but cant stand eating a frog leg!Whats the difference really.

I love escargot in Europe you can buy them frozen (Precooked) in the shells and they are stuffed with garlic butter. Frog legs I dont care for IMO they taste like fishy chicken.

No I haven't as they became quite popular after I had left Scotland but I have heard that they are sold in the fish and chip shops.

I did try snails once. It was such a very long time ago. I did not care for it, it reminded me too much of slugs which were ravaging my garden and it tastes like oysters. But then not being French, I never acquired a taste for that. And I have not tried frog legs either. Someone told me that tasted like chicken, but what part of the chicken, I have no idea.

I have tried escargot, which is the snails, and also caviar, which is the fish eggs. I liked the caviar a lot, but I didn't care for the escargot. I tried them because I'll try anything once, and I knew I would not likely have a chance to try them again. I guess I've eaten some weird food. Shark or ostrich might be the strangest, if we aren't counting the caviar or escargot.

Well,i will not try everything once!If it does not look good to my eyes,there is no way im going to eat it.Ostrich meat i did hear of farmers breeding them for their meat,they said it was good.Maybe for them but not me!Thankyou for responding!

The thing about the ostrich meat, is that one, it has almost no fat. And the second thing is, it tastes just like a regular hamburger patty. No one would notice the difference if they weren't told.

Frog legs are so gooood, tasty like a chicken or better :) But my most extreme food I ever ate "natural sheep eyes" in Spain. I don't want to leave comment about that... enough one word: terrible. Never taste it - I just only ate it because I didn't know what is the speciality in a spain restaurant and I choose one from the list... that was that... never again

Strange things I have tried and liked: Deep fried sheep brains in Turkey. Tiny dried whole fish in the Philipines (I can't remember what they called them). Frog legs in Arkansas. Alligator tail in Missouri. Strange things I tried and didn't like: Squid and octopus - no flavor and VERY tough and chewy.

Liver. My Dad made me fried liver one time when I was young and told me it was cow meat. I ate and loved it. It wasn't till a couple years later that he told me what it really was and by then I liked it so much it didn't matter. AT PEACE WITHIN

oh no i would never just go to a place and order escargo or frog legs. but if i had to pick one i'd go with the frog legs. the strangest thing i ever tries that i ended up like is sushi. i know it's not high on the strange list but it seemed like it when i thought about it when i was younger.

I've tried everything except brains and kidneys. Escargo, frogs legs, and cow's tongue, head cheese, blood sausage, etc. Probably cow's tongue is the weirdest and yes, I liked it. I haven't gpttem the nerve up to try locusts and honey or grasshoppers and honey yet. Take care
