Mark Connolly Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Travelling round Scotland, I've had a delicacy described as "slice". It was very similar to square, or lorne, but not as good... Spoiler 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a bit like 'Tonic' on the Perth Rd in Dundee. They'll burger anything in there. Kangaroo a favourite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northboy Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I once had worm soup in China. It was stretching things to call it soup - basically worms in warm, greasy water. Again in China but at the other end of the menu spectrum I was served something specially prepared for the Western palate. It was s deep fried vegetable fritter which would have been nice had in not been dipped and coated in 100s and 1000s. Still better than the worm soup though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangaroo a favourite. Aye, they did that too...I've never been convinced that at least some of the things on their menu weren't substitutions...their wild boar tasted suspiciously like normal pork and that shark was more than likely dogfish. This was like a self serve gaff where you picked the meats, took a bunch of spices to your taste and they'd flash fry it with rice while you waited. The only one that was truly bowfing was the zebra...I'd assumed it would be much the same as horse meat which I actually like, but it was rank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superwell87 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I tried Guga (or a young gannet) years ago when in the Western Isles. It was surprisingly tasty, kind of similar to chicken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whole thing on a skewer, head, feet, the lot. I was quite glad to be a vegetablist that day. I had one of those little critters in Peru, with some flaky potatoes. It tasted like chicken - a poor man's chicken. Also had alpaca in Peru - a poor man's mutton. Whale in Iceland and Norway - magnificent, a rich man's beef steak. And I had puffin in Iceland - didn't really taste like anything else, but it was almost black and wasn't great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I had porcupine in Congo, not much eating on it, but it was delicious, didn’t need to ask for a toothpick after I’d finished. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chili cheese sauce they do should be bottled and sold by the gallon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without sauce, without seasoning, every night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmitch Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Titi or Mutton bird is an NZ delicacy. Muttonbird or mutton bird may refer to species of petrel, especially shearwaters, whose young are harvested for food and other uses before they fledge in Australia and New Zealand. They taste like kippers bizarrely. Also had crocodile, alligator, kangaroo (incredibly good steak, very lean), ostrich (tastes like beef), springbok, zebra and whole cuttle fish cooked in its own ink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Jellied Eels : Bethnal green an awful lot of bones around not very much meat that isn’t all that good anyway. Basically the same as Chinese style chicken feet but significantly worse Strange Easter Soup: Greece apparently this is what you eat on Saturday night before Easter Sunday in Greece. It’s made of kidneys, lungs and other stuff you don’t ask about. My hostess was aware that it’s an acquired taste that foreigners don’t appreciate and made it clear that I didn’t have to partake but she didn’t realise that she was basically offering me liquid haggis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
