Crackpot.756: That actually sounds disgusting!
OT, cats and people. Although I'm a vegetarian so that's probably not gonna happen and I heard eating people is illegal anyways.
My knowledge about strange food seems rather limited all of a sudden.
Tarnicus: I'm also vegetarian, and strangely the only meat that tantalises my senses is the smell of my own flesh burning when I'm tending fire. I've never tried
long pig before.
As I grew up in Sydney, and had access to and tried many different culture's cuisines, I can't think of anything offhand that I haven't already tried. I guess I am curious about frying up insects such as grasshoppers in a nice spice mix (turmeric, cumin, coriander & chilli), but given my ethos, that would only occur in a survival situation.
Note: Australian native wood cockroaches carry no known diseases, so if you're ever in a survival situation Down Under, eat up! :P
darthspudius: Never have Lobster? beautiful meat! I'm also putting one out for Crocodile. I'd also love to try Dog and cat. To see if I like eating next door's annoying pets.
Tarnicus: I've got a compound bow and 3 dogs and 4 cats. Maybe we could combine my desire to eat long pig with your desire to eat cat and dog? :P
HypersomniacLive: I once tried
lamp eyeballs, they got a melty texture, and taste a bit similar, but not as good as lamb/ goat brain which I prefer. They're considered a delicacy and hard to get, but I stuck with that one time.
I'm quite open to trying new foods, so long as they smell good - if they don't pass this stage, chances are that I won't try them as I got a sensitive gag reflex and smells trigger it pretty easily.
Tarnicus: What did the rest of the
lamp taste like? Is some sort of hallucinogen required to find the edible parts? We have some lamps circa 1930s in the park across the road. They don't work, so I guess they are fair game to eat?
