Nah, it was at Lee's Sandwiches in Houston's Chinatown. I like the place, cheap chicken/pork pates, weird green coconut waffles, twinkie-like cakes, smoothies/teas/slushies, and sandwiches. Just don't go with the durian ice cream, stick with the good old Rocky Road.
count me in the stinky tofu loving crowd. that stuff is the bomb. fry it up and dip in hot sauce. best food ever. just don't cook any at your own house, otherwise, your house is going to stink for a week or so. but ya, that stuff is OFF THE HOOK.
malaysian ice-cream is wrong. on a trip i once pointed out for what i thought was choc ice-cream. the flavor was nothing i'd tasted before basically a very sweet grossness but the weirdest thing was it was full of unknown whole beans and corn kernels.
I've seen some pretty strong entries here, but I spent many years in West Africa growing up as a missionary's kid so I can bring it too. I'm sure I've eaten just about every source of protein and meat under the sun from rodents to large game. But what most of you would consider really wierd is probably monkey meat. I can't count the times I've eaten that. It's really like venison.
True but the yoke taste so much better than reg. Boiled eggs and the hard white stuff is fun to eat. Plus the s&p with mints are good too
You know when it comes to weird food, us Chinese have a lot of stories to share. I ate a lot of stuff that may consider weird in Western but I would like to share one of the "weirdest" stories I have ever met. My first trip back to Mainland China was nearly 2 decades ago. I joined a group tour along with my classmates and the first meal we ate was in a Cantonese-style restaurant in GuangZhou. Cantonese serves soup before the main course so every one in the table I joined (12 guys, most were my classmates and an elder couple I can still recall) drank a full bowl of soup. We later shared the "soup residues", which is very common in our culture. Those "residues" were mostly carrots, vegetables and some meat. One of my classmates like me was the first time back to Mainland China and he was fascinated by the soup very much and kept saying it was very tasty. He therefore served himself a couple rounds and each round a bowl full of those "soup residues". Later he found a piece of meat in his bowl of very strange shape and asked me which part of the pig I thought the piece of meat was from. I took a good look into that piece of meat and honestly I cannot relate that to anything else but a PENIS! I was not sure if that meat roll was belonged to a pig or some other animal's organ but judging by the shape itself, it could not be something else. May be we were young at that time and we didn't go crazy at the restaurant or the tour guide at all. We were making fun of that piece of meat and some of my colleagues even stuck some toothpicks onto it. The elderly couple didn't look unhappy so I boldly told the old gentleman to beware of nostril bleeding in the mid night. We cleared all the remaining cause of meals and we didn't have any stomach problems that night, nor any "physical needs" of course.
soy sauce on toast as a kid, pretty much due to the fact there was nothing else to eat. fought over fish eye balls as a kid, not so much nowadays. pig ears, intestines its all pretty standard. some of the stuff in this thread is pretty nasty, but nothing imo has been EXTREME, im still waiting for someone who has visited korea to tell about dining on a platter of gourmet dog penises, served in several different styles (watched a documentary on it once)
didnt read entire thread but first thing I thought of chicken hearts hummmmmm, so good and tender I eat 20 at a time when we BBQ... One thing that is disappointing about fogo is that they dont serve chicken hearts
When i was in Beijing, I ate fried baby scorpions on a skewer... it actually tasted pretty decent! It was just like a tougher and crunchier version of beef.. I've also had chicken blood that was in the shape of tofu in soup.. that tasted absolutely disgusting and let's never mention it again .
