Another thing they did in Japan was somehow remove an entire fish skeleton through a slit in its side, cook the fish, deep fry the bones and prop them in the slit to serve. You eat the skeleton like a cracker. It was great.

coming from a traditional Asian family, I have eaten quite a few `odd` things ... most of them I consider  :

There is a famous tourist place in Taipei called the Snake Alley - sure enough they sell snakes, in soup, as well as some animals` testicles.  They also serve sea turtle.

I am a big fan of kebab, but have you tried the chicken butt kebab off the street vandor in Taipei?? They fry them, add fresh basil then sprinkle salt and white pepper on it.  i am sure they are tasty......not ... why butt?

Okay, before I get sick, the strangest thing I`ve ever eaten was pig`s intestine, it`s actually quite yummy! Chewy, too!

well, i won`t be mentioning specifically what it was that i ate once upon a time, but let`s just say it was part of a fraternity initation rite (worst mistake of my college life), and it correlated somewhat to a scene in the movie Funny Farm... but it was a different animal and a different part.

Was the worst mistake eating the mystery animal part, or joining the fraternity, or both?

A few months ago a client invited me over to dinner to thank us for her completed project. She said she was making a traditional italian dish for us. I though we were eating spagetti and sauce and meat but it was Tripe....the stomach lining of a cow....It tasted spongy and i probably would of been able to deal with eating it, but mid-dinner she let me know what it was....boy did that wreck my appetite. also when I was a kid my Grandmother made Lamb kidneys, and because i was trying to impress her, i ate them. Yuck!

Once while doing computer work in an isolated Alaskan village I happened to be there the day they had an office pot-luck. I ate a piece of beluga blubber. It had the appearance of wax, the texture of a rubber tire, and eight hours later I could still taste it.
