baby octopus, it was tiny and quite nice. I ate it cos it was in a paella I got on Bastille Day in France one year. Apparently it was a local delicacy. I reckon the "annoy your sister" factor came into it alot (I was 14 or 15), but it was nice too as I remember.

Half a ladybird, I suppose.

I swallowed a lady bird too once. I have eaten a chocolate locust. It was like a chocolate covered raisin gone very very wrong.

Ahh but u loved the quorn mince tho!

― Pinkpanther, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

damnit i forgot you were on - yes in its defence quorn mince it tip- top much better than mince actually - surely the work of jesus to combat satans veg bacon or facon

― born clippy, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

S'ok u don't have to eat it! U can cook for urself in future!!!

― Pinkpanther, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i like it those tacos were good - oooh sour cream on the list

― born clippy, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

the strange motorway service station food in Thailand, we didn't ask what was in it but there were odd tentacles in it and bones that had skin but no meat. And the heat of it was unreal.

― chris, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Working in the Taiwanese embassy led to a number of culinary encounters I would rather forget, especially with chicken feet (yuck yuck yuck) and intestines. Eventually I learned to stop being polite and eating things and just scream NO WAY AM I EATING THAT.

― Emma, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Deep fried locust (like whitebait mixed with prawn), chocolate covered cockroaches, aligator, ostrich, dog (Korean restaurant in Japan), any number of bizarre water creatures including octopus and shark, brains of a couple of animals (sadly not chilled monkey), testicles and internal organs of mainly lamb but possibly other animals too.

I eat anything.

― Pete, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

pete u r my new hero (f**k off aquaman pete's here)

― born clippy, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

We were talking about Aquaman last night actually. About what a good fisherman he would be and how deep he could swim. It may have been the beer talking.

Oh and grass juice. Tasty.

― Pete, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

when im sitting by the river i do sometimes eat grass - then it occurs to me about the fact that dogs and wino's piss everwhere and i really shouldnt

― born clippy, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What is aquamans fish controlling range seemed like an extremely U+K question.

― RickyT, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I had sweetbreads once in france. they were in a lovely sauce, and it was presented in an egg shell. It was very scrummy. mmmmn. They melted in the mouth.

― Vicky, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have also eaten of the chicken feet. I see no reason to repeat that experience.

I think Pete clearly wins for the sheer scope of his weirditude but I'm going to blab about the KANGAROO I ate last week anyway. If you get a chance to try some kanga DO IT!! it's f'in delicious - tastes like beef but far tastier.

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ah but did Vicky eat the Parson's nose from the roast chicken we made the other day? No, but then again, nither did I, ewww.

― chris, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

there is a chinese restaurant on lisle street which offers "duck webs and fish lips" but i have never been there when ordering for contrarianism instead of pleasure wd suffice

― mark s, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Woodlice.

― Archel, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That might the New Diamond Mark (known for obv reasons as the Neil Diamond) which was the first Chinese restaurant to be Unionised in Chainatown after they sacked all their staff for six weeks while they refurbed and then rehired for less money. I have been reliably informed that the fish lips are a vegetable, but want ducks webbing - I want now. (And chickens feet - that would be sucking fun).

Fishes eyes of course.

― Pete, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

they'll watch your lies Ptee, mark my words

― chris, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Definately as part of whitebait Chris, and on other occasions too (fish head soup).

― Pete, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

stargazey Pie too

― chris, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Had an elkburger once. V. gamey.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

chicken feetses are NASTY and Pete's right, it's all about SUCKING the fatty bits of the feet off the boney bits. and of course it's just flavorless squibs of chicken fat so it's not really nasty at all but it's quite a graphic process.

other sucking fun: slurping crawdad brainZ0r out of their little heads --> reverse of cute-face theory cuz they're delicious.

Just wondering -- does a "food tip" by any chance resemble a rubbish tip? Does the resemblance increase if the food in question is rubbish?

― Aimless, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My ex-wife ate raw octopus quite often when she was a child - not because it was offered, she just got it out of the fridge and ate it. I am a bit less adventurous = there are only about three flavours of crisp I will try.
