Tripe, jellied carp, the usual croc/roo/ostrich/water buffalo...

Last night we peer-pressured a mate into eating two massive moths. He couldn't bring himself to crunch them for ages so they were fluttering inside his mouth. He was trying ever so hard not to spew. Funniest thing I've seen in a loonngg time.

After the first one, we realised nobody recorded it.. so found him a second one so we could catch it on our phones!

Seeing as we were rather drunk, there is a little swearing though which wouldn't be great for the young'uns

Amateurs! (other than the guy who ate potting mix! I wouldn't go that far!)

I like saurkraut, mozzarella cheese and jam sandwiches. On a hot day, use an ice-pole instead of jam

Of the animals which some people seem to find strange...

Cooked: Bees, termites, scorptions, spiders, grasshoppers, cockroaches, crickets, mealworms, brains (several species), butterflies, moths, cicadas, beetles, garden worms, Mcdonald's "hamgurger" (probably the worst thing of all!), potato, oranges, snails, all the regular offal, jellyfish, grubs, plus a bunch of things you don't want to know about!

Raw: multiple fish species, fish eggs, jellyfish, kangaroo, beef. About four times a week I have raw eggs for breakfast. When I have breakfast at other peoples' houses they rarely let me eat their eggs raw and quickly cook them for me!

Live: scorpions, spiders, crickets, mealworms, grasshoppers, grubs... and again, a fair few things you don't want to know about!

...no doubt I've missed a fair few things, but you get the idea.

I'll gladly challenge anyone on APS to an eating contest

Skunk: you're not supposed to admit to eating frog when you're on a herp forum!

I usually eat the shells, they're the best bit I think proper prawn crackers are made out of the shell.

The bones in chicken wings are good, and if you're a bit more adventurous (I'm usually not bothered going this far!), the bones in the drumsticks are good too. When I was living in Melbourne I hung out with a group of friends each week, and if we ate chicken or prawns, anyone with wing bones or prawn shell left over would have stern words directed at them! :lol: Shortly after, one of the guys used to grab them off your plate and eat them :lol: He used to try to eat our drumstick bones too, but usually we'd stop him :lol:

Sdaji, I want to know the things that "we dont want to know about". Also what are live bugs like, wouldnt they taste nasty? Also what does jellyfish taste like? Although not socially normal in our country most of the stuff you listed i would consider to be fairly normal human food and are commonly eaten in less >cant think of the word(perhaps stupid?)< cultures.

 

[Sdaji]

Even if you want to know, the others don't

Live insects taste great, depending on the species, and also depending on what they've been feeding on. I got into eating Morabine Grasshoppers for a while, they have very distinctly different flavours depending on what plant you catch them on, even between different species of Acacias (and at the same time I was sampling the leaves of the respective species of Acacias too). The larger ones are quite creamy, very good.

Jellyfish are absolutely terrible! Perhaps I just haven't prepared them properly, I don't know, I'm not claiming to be a brilliant chef, but I didn't like it at all.

You're quite right, in most of the world, most of what I've listed wouldn't be that strange. People in Australia think that they're so adventurous when it comes to food, but the reality is that mainstream Australians are some of the most food-squeamish people in the world. "Adventurous dining" in Australia seems to mean "Eating Asian-style pork" :lol: and even then, the "foreign-style" food in Australia is usually a watered down Australian version of the foreign style.

I have to say, some of the worst food I've ever eaten came from various fast food outlets in the USA. I find it incredible that people are able to stomach, and even somehow "enjoy" the garbage they'll feed you at McDonald's, then say "eww" to eating insects. People have their heads so far under the metaphoric sand!
