Ate crocodile in Heller Park near Mombasa, Kenya. Ok taste and no fat too. Being eyed up as their next meal from the adjacent crocodile pond while dining was rather offputting though.

Kangaroo, Ostrich, Alligator, Snake.... I'm a dead fussy eater but no qualms about eating meat (no offal or any of that jazz... Even gristle is enough to have me gurning)!

I once had something that looked like this, can someone identify what it please? In my defence it was late and it somehow found it's way into my meat slices.

If you could have a cheese that was made of fish, that would be close, but it's the smell thats even worse.. Put me off Swedish women for life...

Weirdest thing would have been Mrs Spiny's cooking today, prior to that would have been when I ate some of Mrs Spiny's cooking yesterday. :mrgreen:

The weirdest thing you ever ate..................?

Errmmm. I like to know.

It says what it is on the tin, does it?

It would proably freak me out if I'd known what I was eating.

Not really into offal or insects, although eaten plenty of unidentified flying objects when on the bike :lol:

Have eaten various meats, although stuff like croc, ostrich, shark, kangaroo etc are reasonably common these days.

Have had Thompsons Gazelle and Bat, which I guess are a bit more unusual.

I saw an old episode of QI the other day, Stephen Fry had a tin of that stuff.
Rotted fish in a tin, nice.
They were not allowed to open the can in the studio as the smell is so vile.

Anyone ever had Durian fruit? Never eaten it, but have smelt one and it's really really not nice.

Just had Fermented Shark, Puffin and Cormorant.
Cormorant just tastes a bit like Puffin to be honest.

Suspect that everything I eat now for the next couple of weeks is going to have a faint aftertaste of fermented shark.

Had some Durian cheesecake in Singapore. Fortunately I was well aware of its reputation so went carefully with a tiny portion and was ready to spit it out straight away...and I did as it was absolutely vile. Like eating sick.
