is this in order? bull testicles are nice.

i've eaten some pretty bizarre things but easily the most uneatable thing was the sheep's intestine, even the dog (and this was one skinny dog) wouldn't eat it.

The strangest thing I ever ate was one of those things that they call hamburgers; it happened in America.

Nice?

They're good. Strange for 'Western' standards, though, don't you think?

I mean, for all they means to us, men, it's like almost sacrilege but at the same time an involuntary attempt to eat some of the bull's power, lol

Intestine is good, at least the lamb intestine, as long as it is fried and then zimmered in green tomatoe salsa, then placed inside a taco 😀

By the way, I've always been tempted to try haggis.

Any thoughts?

What about the deep-fried Mars bar?

I watched a bizzare contest where two ladies tried to out do each other eating a horses testine. Not for love nor money says me.

Been there. Done that. Seen the musical. Bought the poster.

A must try, I say! Though my cardiologist told me not to do it again, bleh.

However, I fixed the thing myself at home and it seems to be a Scottish delicacy; so, I wonder if the taste is different there.

i never really had a second thought about eating them tbh, they looked and tasted good and i'm sure the bull was happy his balls went to good use.

this is coming from a guy who ate ceviche from a street stall on more than one occasion though.

well this intestine was butchered, cooked the f*** out of in batter and was tough. it was in bolivia though at a local restaurant, so what do you expect for about $1.

argh, that sounds dreadful.

Reminds me of the last time I took a client out, in Latvia, and she ordered the "most typical" dish. I went low profile and ordered peas with bacon.

She was presented with a raw fish (maybe sprinkled with salt), open, covered on sour cream and chopped onion. Man, the worst thing I've seen! (on top of that, I dislike fish)

She had to drink her brains out before munching some of that.

hhmmm raw fish 🙂

not sure about the sour cream though.....did you eat it?

i'm pretty sure one of the best meals i can in s. america was a bit of a mess up. some basil pasta thing with fish chunks but the fish was almost raw, it was delicious but i'm sure the fish was supposed to be cooked a little more.......they didn't do undercooked food in peru 😞

btw, do try haggis if you get the chance, it's nothing special but it does make your stomach think about what it's getting.

Coming from Scotland myself I have had haggis many times, its crap by itself but not too bad when along side some tatties & neeps (potatoes & turnips).

The deep-fried mars bar never really appealed to me but i know a few who like it. That and deep-fried, battered pizza . . . which IS nice.

But my fav is Black Pudding:

Made by cooking blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. Pig or cattle blood is most often used; sheep and goat blood are used to a lesser extent. Blood from poultry, horses and other animals are used more rarely. Typical fillers include meat, fat, suet, bread, sweet potato, barley and oatmeal.

(for those who dont know it)

I thought frogs fallopian tubes were a bit weird, but apparantly a delicacy. until I ate them I didnt even know frogs had fallopian tubes. The odd thing is that they had no flavour at all just added bulk to the strange sugary water they were in.

Btw Haggis is great.
