laxx Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 No may exciting things I am afraid, for example: wild boar, beefalo, buffalo, deer, horse, bear, octopus, conch, and squid. Sure I missed something or other. I don't find any of those as bizarre food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duggeh Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Horse is the most bizzare of those I'd say, it's sort of taboo to eat horse in the UK for some reason. Not that I'd be bothered. I think I had it in France once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mypasswordis Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I've had some breast of chicken, and even some chop of pork a couple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I've had a burger with fried onions -- you know, the crispy breaded kind? -- instead of ...you know, fried onions. On the burger. That was bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetoole Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Anything I cook for myself. Not bizarre by design, but by virtue of my cooking skills. Horse is the most bizzare of those I'd say, it's sort of taboo to eat horse in the UK for some reason. Not that I'd be bothered. I think I had it in France once. I have always had a secret desire to try horse. I've had a burger with fried onions -- you know, the crispy breaded kind? -- instead of ...you know, fried onions. On the burger. That was bizarre. That is delicious, I love onion rings on my sandwiches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Incorrect. Side dish should be on the side. -tini. What's next -- french fries on your burger? Why don't you just mix it all up in a bowl lay it in a trough in front of you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is potato chips for the burgers, or onion rings. Nothing says you cant have them all on the side too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you just mix it all up in a bowl lay it in a trough in front of you? Often, when I order a grilled fish sandwich and it comes with slaw, I'll open that bad boy up and dump the slaw right into the sandwich... Very bizarre. hell yeah That burger-fry sandwich looks fabulous. I want. Wish they'd open a store in Chicago! Horse is the most bizzare of those I'd say, it's sort of taboo to eat horse in the UK for some reason. Not that I'd be bothered. I think I had it in France once. Missed my best shot at eating horse when I was in Kazakhstan for 6 weeks. I was told it's a delicacy there. At a local food shop, I saw a can with a bunch of Russian writing, and picture of a horse on it. I held out, figuring I'd see it on a menu somewhere, but I never saw horse to eat after that. Oh well, I heard it's pretty darn dry and tasteless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzziguy Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Chevalines (horse meat butcher shops) are quite common in France. I had ground horse meat when I lived there. It was leaner and sweeter than beef. I didn't think it was dry at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefy Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 What's next -- french fries on your burger? Ever since my first burger I have stuffed fries in there. Its awesome. Why don't you just mix it all up in a bowl lay it in a trough in front of you? Sounds like my ideal curry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightWoundsTime Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Strange things I've eaten and don't really even know what to call them: Lots of random gelatin or mung bean based desserts at the Buddhist temple, coconut milk custard things at same (sounds normal but the texture is quite abnormal), and a bowl of bones and fat from a cuban cafeteria. That last was rough, I think they referred to it as oxtail but I couldn't find a single shred of protein. Who sits down and eats chunks of fat?

jvlgato Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Mmmm, love oxtail stew! Grew up on it, Mom made it all the time. The Cuban place nearby has it. But yes, it's really, really fatty, so in the interest of my cholesterol level, it's a rare treat now. My Dad used to tell me about all kinds of vegetable protein based 'meat' the Buddhist monks would eat in the Philippines. Never had a chance to try any myself. Sounds interesting, though.
