Chocolate coverd ants-and No I didn't know it at the time either.I was told it was chocolate covered rice krispies...... This was at an old Islays--many moons ago. Connie
Being of Portugese decent, my grandmother made a dish called "tripe",which is the lining of a cows belly. Of course she didn't tell me when I was small what it was but no matter as I spit it out anyway! yuk! Yuk! Yuk! lol never forgot the horrid experience to this day. lol Nancy
My mother's spaghetti sauce, which was basically home-canned tomato juice thickened with flour: think pink, thin flour paste. When I discovered Ragu, I thought I was in heaven. ;^) Jan the Gryphon
I expect quite a few of us Brits will say this but for me it has to be the scottish dish Haggis!! I remember they passed it round at Primary School and I think I liked it lol

As always a day late and more than a dollar short. When I was 18, my boss invited 2 of us waitresses to be "guests" at a Japanese tea party/meal. Never thought we were there for "decoration". The men were wonderful, laughed a lot, got us drunk "bot-tom UP", but never made passes at either of us. We ate fish, seaweed, raw varieties of fish - a red one called Sashimi that was a tpe of tuna. The flavorings for dipping were odd, but I was willing to try it all. They were so enthralled by my willingness that near the end of the meal, they gave me the great honor of receiving the highest delicacy of all: the head of the most precious fish!! I couldn't, just could not . . . that fish was staring at me! I am older and much wiser now . . . although I have eaten many odd delicacies in my life.

Probably the weirdest I've had was rattlesnake--which was actually very good; I'd eat it again if it was prepared the same way, lol! I've also tried squid, which wasn't bad-tasting (bland, really), but I didn't like the texture. It was too chewy... almost rubbery. :-P Other foods that people might consider "weird" that I have enjoyed are: frog's legs, rabbit and squirrel (I really don't think these are weird, but some of my friends have expressed different opinions on the matter, lol). I love to play with unusual ingredients (lavender blossoms, lemon grass) or use common ingredients in surprising ways (nutmeg in a sauce for meatballs, black pepper in a dessert), so I wouldn't be averse to trying other "odd" things. I'm leery of trying anything insect-related, however--even though I've heard that cicadas are pretty tasty... lol! Blessings, --Amy (aka Rose) http://journals.aol.com/catholicrose/thegarden
Whole octopus/squid on my last night in Italy...It could hardly touch it. Unfortunately, I had no control over my entree that night because we were on tour. Kellen

Hi, I'm Krissy. I'm just your average girl. I love blogging, Twitter, almost all Social Media, digital photography, fundraising to fight cancer, designing and making jewelry, watching Claymation Christmas specials -- just working hard and playing hard! I also love my husband John, and maine coon cat Michael. But most of all I love Jesus...
