So I've been very open to trying new foods. Some of them I've enjoyed and some of them I just can't adjust to.

What have you tried and how did you stomach it?

Liked; crocodile, Piranha, cebiche (Raw fish... some are good some are bad), Fish skin, cow heart (got food poisoning last time I went to Peru from this stuff)

Disliked; chicken feet( in chicken noodle soup), cow stomach, cow liver!

Dried fish, let's just say that I won't do that again. Something about eating "food" that I use as bait just doesn't work for me or my stomach. :wacko:

No longer in the hands of the USCIS, for my wife at least, next up MIL.

I'll try everything....

I've had.. horse, goat, bugs, ants, live shrimp, balut, bee larvae, and pretty much anything they have.

I like my food Thai spicy. :)

I have an iron gut and don't get heartburn.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Yeah but I suppose if you would put a cigarette in your mouth you would put anything there right? :devil: JK

cold liver pate in france...foul. sheep's cheese encrusted with hard, green, "edible" mold on a farm in germany. the best food i had abroad was beef burgundy in burgundy. the worst was excessive amounts of cheese in switzerland. one day, i had cheese and bread for breakfast, cheese on a baguette for lunch, and swiss cheese fondue with bread for dinner. never again!

Anything goat I don't like. It just doesn't sit well with me.

Goat tastes just like lamb.I love the goat tacos at the Mexican restaurant.

How does Pirhana taste ? :unsure:

After comsuming a few San Miguels I ate five balut. That took my stomach about 4 months to recover :blink:

Balut is so gross. :dead:

Goose liver, shark, dog, snake, silkworms, mantis shrimp, smelly (fermented) tofu. The Chinese don't distinguish between sheep and goat, so I've had both. It was all good.

Balut is so gross. :dead:

Actually it wasn't too bad, tasted like a hard boiled egg to me. My poor stomach just wasn't ready to handle whatever bacteria that was growing inside. Poor little ducks, I gobbled them right down
