Wanted to find out about the weird stuff that people have eaten. Obviously I started this thread so I should go first?
Mexico - Ants eggs (known as Mexican caviar)
Mexico - Cactus leaves (pickled or cooked)
Botswana - Mopani worms (dried and in a stew)
China - Turtle (cold)
China - Sea slug (braised with onions)
China - Cuttlefish and duck tounge soup
China - Bull frog
So who else has had weird stuff?

Ok, so what's this gotta do with flying?
I've eaten many an involuntarily bug whilst low-flying over the mealie-fields, (before buying a "Larry-full face") though I cannot name the species, as I have normally spat it out before inspecting it!

How do we know Adam and Eve weren't chinese?
Cause they would've left the apple and eaten the snake!

I love peanut butter and mayonaisse sandwiches! Not as weird as snakes and stuff but some people think my taste is weird nevertheless.

Had Kangaroo tail once, nice tastes like Lamb neck.
Still don't like the Ausies though.

Hiya Warren, Just watch those luminous green frogs that they sell in Carrefour (saw them in Wuxi, China) that has got to be the worst yet...and they sell them from a glass case in a plastic "sakkie". Never ever seen anything like that. Last time I saw them it was next to the beer counter...
But croc tail in a garlic sauce is nice in Zimbabwe. Seen goat steaks in the UAE.
BUT far worse is British food..last tour we did there we contemplated going to France (to eat) as we were sick of Chinese and Indian...
Safe flight
Cheers Paul
