@Seek_Kolinahr Depends on how it’s prepared. I’ve had it twice. The first time it seemed rather greasy. No bones just a lot of bite size chunks of meat. The second time was on skewers with veggies over an open flame.
Ah. Well, mine was prepared by shooting the thing in the head when it tried to attack my cat in my garage, and later skinned, chopped, breaded, and panfried.
Jellyfish tentacles, which I had as part of a chinese banquet. They were kind of like noodles but fishy-tasting. Strange texture, quite pleasant. The octopus, which I had at the same banquet, was like eating slices of rubber.
I’ve had Balut in Philippines (partially developed duck embryo), very yuck. I’ve been served sheeps eyeball at a tribal feast in Pakistan, swallowed whole with a gulp of tea.
Hard to answer, because so many of the delicacies I now love, including caviar, beef tartare, shellfish and sushi, looked so yucky when I first tried them.
But the one that stands out is uni (sea urchin), which I always order when I eat sushi. I love its taste and texture, but it looks like a dab of vomit, and not one of my friends, even the ones who love sushi as much as I do, will touch it. That’s good for me because it’s very expensive.
@Austinlad I’ve had uni before. Dragon rolls with the eel is very good too. Caviar isn’t so odd. I’ve had gator nuggets, and kangaroo jerky. Balut, and opihi.
