Strange or exotic dishes

hi linda, i just tasted a monitor lizard when i was a child then just last year we went to have a lunch at exotic restaurant but the only available was a frog it really taste so good more than a chicken happy posting!

hi linda, i dont have the stomach that could tolerate these kind of food. while i was younger, i was told that i was able to eat some dishes with snake and frogs from the rice field. iiiiwwwww!!! my cousin said, i ate voraciously. haha!!! how could i? my friend in general santos (about 3 hours ride on a bus) says that "locust" is her favorite. yaaaaakkkkk!!! am sorry. it is just not my thing. have a nice day. ann

A friend served me a pâté of coypus. They come from South America but are common here and considered harmful for the rivers. We generally don't eat them. The cook was good and the pâté too : definitely not a bad meat.

Hello! When I was a kid, ive tried to eat fried frogs. It tasted so good, softer version of chicken. My mother also prepared a version of it called sinampalukan. It was frogs with tamarind soup with it. Its so much tastier as well. I also love balut. It is a duck egg with a chick inside just boiled and eaten as it is, either with salt or vinegar. Many foreigners didn't like its appearance but in fact, its a very popular thing here in the Philippines and many patronize this product because of its unique taste. Have a nice day ahead!

I absolutely adored Fried Alligator the few times I've been able to get them. And of course when I was pregnant I craved bacon smothered in strawberries and whipped cream. I have to say the latter takes the cake for strange foods for me lol. Hmmm... Goat once (never again), Rabbit once (never again), rattlesnake (that was good). Can't think of anything else right now

Here in our place, exotic viands made from local dog meat are common food amongst those who are on drinking sprees specially in barrios. But only a few eat those types and i for one, don't like even in my dream to be eating viand made of dog meat. One exotic meat that i have eaten is the dish made from snake's meat. These are the big snakes commonly found on rice fields . It's delicious and tastes like chicken, because the common folks said, they eat live chickens. In some of our provinces they eat those big white worms found in the inside of trees. From the looks of a worm, i guess i will not like to eat it. LOL

Oh yah! Did you mean crunchy frog legs? hahahah!

I've eat some food that others feel strange. Western country does found it strange but as an Asian it just something we hardly can enjoy nowadays because of limitation of supply or almost extint. What I have eat that others might feel weird or strange. 1. Squirrel 2. Jungle Mouse 3. Fox 4. River Turtle & Tortoise 5. Bats 6. Wild boar 7. monkey 8. snails And there is so much more which I cannot remember or cannot translate into English.

I don't eat strange or exotic food yet. Usualy, I eat something that I know. But I like to cook funny dishes. For example turtle cabbage pie with sour cabbage.

We have some very weird dishes here. One of them is the balut egg, which is the cooked egg of a chicken, with the chick already fully developed inside. It tastes OK to me, but some people may find it repulsive. We also have something called "dinuguan", and is basically a stew with cooked chicken blood as a sauce, with a little vinegar and soy sauce added. This dish, I'm particularly picky about, since I only eat dinuguan cooked by either me or my mother.
