What is the most "obscure" or rarest food you've ever eaten (or want to eat)?

What is the most "obscure" or rarest food you've ever eaten (or want to eat)?

bear

To me probably jackfruit. To anyone else, Nilgai, ants, or nopalitos.

alligator jerkey. I've also eaten snake, ox, and hammerhead shark (which is completely illegal).

I'd also say wild boar but it's pretty common. On the wish list I'd probably put Jack Fruit...I just haven't come across it and want to check it off my list.

Asian grocer, they'll even quarter them for you.

Snake satay in Indonesia

For me it is the McChicken, the rarest fast food sandwich

Biangbiang noodles

Bear isn't too uncommon in northern regions. I ate bear meat at least 3 times a week during the 8 years I was stationed in northern Siberia. I hear they eat it more in the Canadian Arctic.

I ate lion meat.
It was shredded and in a taco.

Also this

I want to try whale so bad. I'm saving for a trip to Japan, and a whale restaurant is on my checklist.

Is it safe to eat raw bacon? I like raw meat in general but it doesn't seem like bacon is fresh enough for that.

for me it's onion soup, the one dish i crave more than any other

hopefully i will try it one day

No, it's a surefire way to get you parasites.

I'm sure whatever that user is eating is something else, or he's incubating a nest.

the vagina of taylor swift

jk i wanna try the cappuccino Lay's chips

THE WORLDS LARGEST RODENT. IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY IT. HOW WAS IT PREPARED?

Yes, but not Johnsonville, Oscar Meyer or any of the store-bought stuff. That stuff's been processed and sitting on a shelf for so long that it's likely covered in bacteria. Go to your local butcher and ask to taste test their fresh bacon cuts. Most butchers will let you do this. When you taste a cut that you're happy with, ask him, or her, to wrap it in wax paper to preserve the freshness.

roasted on an open fire. It's kind of like rabbit, kinda fatty.

I've tried llama multiple times, it's pretty good. Also have had rabbit, sheep's head/brain, chicken hearts, beef tongue, oxtail & gator.

It obviously gives you their power dumbfuck

Dog ... In a stew and skewer .. Not bad , similiar to pork id say

Lutefisk. Everything said about it is true. I guess it doesn't help that I tried it at a funeral wake, but I don't think it could possibly be fitting anywhere else.

Jew
Extra crispy
Nose is best part

balut maybe? idk i grew up eating mountain lion and bear and elk but not sure if those are really rare.

I once had Fugu in Japan.
Wouldn't recommend.

I'd say shark fin soup and alligator. Both were decent but nothing crazy.

Also I don't know if that counts since most people don't hunt nowadays, but I eat grouse a couple times a year when I get lucky. It's breddy gud.

pre-nerf four loko

Well rare for abywhere but japan: fugu. Literally rare would be gold leaf

sparks alcoholic energy drinks

What its amazing, thr slight tingling is nice

My dad ate a jellyfish salad in Korea, on a business trip.

I really wanna try some kinda eyeball

>Wants to try eyeball
>Has two of them

Get to work you lazy cunt.

Your mother's cooking.

Turtle soup or squirrel and dumplings. Both were surprisingly good.

The chips were awful, IMO. Buy a small bag at a store to try them out first.

I've tried most of the things people are listing and never even considered them wierd. The wierdest for me was eating an armadillo I shot in my yard. Roasted him with some thyme, rosemary and lemon. Tasted like a strongly flavored pork roast.

>Can't compete with a leper

I'm okay with this.

Either ostrich, yak, or alligator.

Either jellyfish or fermented duck eggs. Would not recommend jellyfish.

Lambs brain and eyes.

Roasted snake a local aboriginal elder cooked

apart from all the fish, of course.

they have jars of jellyfish heads at my asian supermarket

what do with them?

Raw pork (and cured) is safe to eat
Mettbrötchen is delicious

for real? im from Brazil, they don`t taste that great, and they stick like glue

I had dolphin in Panama City, Florida back in 2003....I had no idea it was illegal

That looks fantastic but no one around here does such a thing and I'd be scared to try making it myself

crocodile burger. if it even was that.

I ate malaysian bbq once, don't think most people around me have done that.

You can buy it here in every butcher shop , freshly made , ready to eat , it's nice for breakfast when you had too much beer the night before

In order of scarcity:
1. My own semen.
2. Other people's ejaculate.
3. Blue Pepsi.
4. Whale Sausage.

Shark fin soup all of my life since my grandmothers cantonese. A+ dish btw.
Pork tongue is another one. I know lots of people eat beef tongue, mexicans in particular, but pork is still pretty rare.

Ate durian once. It was okay. The smell is nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be. It tastes like citrusy almond with a little bit of onion, in the form of a fibrous paste. I'd eat it again.

balut. I've got a Vietnamese friend who's trying to find a century egg for me

alligator, rattlesnake, and I think squirrel but it could've been something else.

I'd like to try more exotic fruits probably.

>eating lions
What part of America are you from?

So no one has mentioned human??

Dad bought zebra steaks once. Pretty underwhelming.
Also had musk ox jerky and dried whale blubber in Greenland which was very different from anything I've ever tasted.

Not him but I can get Tiger tacos in Tampa, Fl.

Don't eat 'em, but they make a good stock for a fish chowder.

Rattle snake poppers
Seafood nachos with squid and caviar
Aligator
A savory chive ice cream with bacon bits a balsamic syrup in a crisp cheese cheese ice cream cone
Eel
Chocolate-covered ghost peppers with espresso powder (not good!)
I have eaten some crazy shit idk why I'm having a brain fart

Children

I had Iranian saffron ice cream once. It was amazing. Bright yellow.

for me its a tie between Deer heart & liver or sea snail

deer liver when when cooked right is fucking amazing, and the heart is fatty but not overly oily. Sea snail just kinda tastes like a chewier escargot tho, you have to pair it with just the right foods or else it just falls flat.

I've been tempted lately to try rocky mountain oysters, although I think i'm probably still too much of a pussy to go for it just yet

agreed with the escargot compare with the sea snail, I've had it a few times and it basically the same shit.

Yeah, tastes like juicy fruit gum and I loved that shit as a kid. The sap is a bitch though, practically ruined my knife.

Cow heart, Guinea pig, Chinese alligator

a manta ray taco

Where can you get them in Tampa?

My mistake, it was lion tacos. Anyway the place is called Taco Fusion but apparently it's closed now due to CONTROVERSY.

Regardless plenty of distributors offer rare and exotic meats, for a price, then you just double charge the customer. 50% profit.

Not obscure really but I eat a lot of game. My brother in law hunts moose and dear so have had moose burgers and tacos. I always find it interesting how lean the meat is. That house is a hunters paradise. The pelts they have are beautiful

Murica doesn't have same safety standards. Even raw beef and raw eggs aren't safe (unless you go find some tartare quality ingredients in specialised shops.)
Thanks Europe.

Eaten :

Morels found wild

The worm at the bottom of a bottle of tequila

Bison

Durian

Bear

Alligator

Thresher shark

Eel

Want to try :

Whatever that crazy fish in a can meme stuff is the name escapes me.

Burger in a can

All the south Asian fruits you can't get in the west

Find my own truffles

That's some bullshit. Ah, ok, I think I heard about that place around the time of the World Cup being held in South Africa. At least, the lion meat thing in Tampa sounds familiar.

Ive had salsa de chinicuil hidalgo mexico

I am looking forward to getting my hands onto some caguama (sea turtle/they were endangered) grease for a pal of mine he asks for it regularly

The majority of what bears eat is fish, berries, and the occasional deer or elk this is for grizzly bears black bears eat anything there meat has had the higher chance for toxins

Its cured so its safe to est raw but tastes like shit if there is alot of fat stick to panchetta

you mean surströmmings?

apart from all the bears that don't live next to an actively spawning salmon stream.

I've eaten bear and balut. The balut was overcooked.

I'd like to try whale.

>buy whole fish
>grill whole fish
>eat whole fish's eyes
>throw away rest of fish
Was that so hard?

this ball made out of shrimp and kobe beef

I'd be most worried about trichonosis.

There are two commonly known kinds of Jackfruit.

Jackfruit, or Nangka (Nung-car) in Malaysian/Indonesian, is this slighty sticky yet firm, kinda rubbery, soapy.

It's sweet and refreshing, imagine a sweet coconut meat. (The white flesh inside, that is plain tasting but refreshing).
Texture is like a tender, but rubbery cooked squid.

Another one, which has no official English name, still same species.
Is called Cempedak (Chump per Dark) in Malay.

Cempedak is REALLY sweet, it's soft and sticky.
Slightly mushy, sweet like a cross of banana, marshmallow and a good durian (minus the smell).
Texture.. it's like an uncooked marshmallow + cooked crab pincer meat.

Nangka is refreshing, best eaten chilled.
Cempedak is sweet, great made into fried fritters.

Not necessarily weird, but pretty obscure. It's farinato, a type of sausage made only in a small region of Spain, with Ciudad Rodrigo and Salamanca being the main places. It's made of pork fat, bread crumbs, pumpkin, paprika, star anise, and aguardiente. Usually fried up with eggs, or made into croquettes with honey. Shit is delicious, my host mom made it for me all the time.

It's similar to farinheira in Portugal if you've ever heard of that, though that's made with chicken.

>fish

Dat mercury

I ate human flesh once

was pretty dried up and cold so it didnt have much taste

Mahi Mahi/Dolphin/Dorado is the same thing
You weren't eating a dolphin like Flipper

Boogers don't count as flesh, just say paste.

How were the tacos? I've been wanting to pick up lion steaks from Exotic Meats, but they're expensive
