Have you eaten any food that can be classified as weird?
You be willing to eat snakes, grubs, hatched eggs boiled or other "specialties" from other cultures and geographic areas?
You may participate in programs like Betting with fear: here I refer to evidence that the contestants eat bugs, worms and other "specialty"?

The word weird depends a lot on where you are. I have eaten frog legs, whale meat (when I was little), blood, all sorts of seafood and birds and last year (on a vacation) an awesome dish with Guinea pig. I am willing to try out some new food with people that are eating it, as when I go somewhere else and find friends from other cultures. But I would not eat worms or insects for a contest nor would I get druk by drinking more than my share. I think that is gross. I don´t even like those "all you can eat· restaurants. Maybe I´m too old for that

I eat all you mentioned as food you ate but I don´t find it weird: just delicious. Try a seafood risotto with octopus. YUMMY!!!

So now I eat: crabs, clams, shrimp, surimi, frog legs, snails, octopus, chestnuts. I would also try other weird foods, but unfortunately I can not find in restaurants.
However, I would be willing to eat eggs hatched, worms, bugs, raw meat, etc., because only the thought of them makes me nauseous. Thanks.

you mean exotic?
well, I eat frogs legs, I've eaten snake once. I eat balut (specialty in the Philippines). And I love those insects that look like cockroaches, they're very tasty. Just don't think that it's a real cockroach since that'll cause you to puke it out. And once in a while, I eat ants (the big ones with their eggs).

I enjoy watching TV programmes on Discovery or National Geographic where I see people eat all kinds of weird stuff,like snakes,lizards,bugs,worms and tarantulas(weird for us,Europeans;I understand that in some countries they are seen as delicacies,such as balut in the Philippines),but I really don't know if I could have the strength to do that myself;but,who knows?If it were a competition and a good amount of money I might defeat my sickness of these creepy stuff and eat some of them.Anyway,this certainly isn't recommended for sensitive people;I still prefer French Fries!
