They eat WHAT?!

[kenshinbebop]

Just as the title implies, I'm looking for the foods from Asia that would make a Western persons' stomachs curl. Just any crazy food, not that their crazy, just from a different culture, that peopel over here would think, WHAT!?
Thanks. I already have a few, I'll add them when I get some replies.
Thank you.

some cultures eat the brains of the animals....

They don't eat it in jappan but Durian fruit. It smells like rotten Salami and taste like slimy rotten onions mixed with avacado and bannana.

Now I have been to a resteraunt in Tokyo were you pick a turtle and they prepare it fresh for you includeing an aparatiif made from sake and the raw beating turtle heart dropped in. They also put the liver and spleen in seperate cups during the meal for your enjoyment. It cost and arm and a leg to do this about 250-300 dollars for 4 people.

Yeah the turtle meal is one I know about, sake mixed with turtle blood? Then the heart dropped in...deffinately odd, but something I'd try. They use practically the whiole turtle for the meal right?

I also know of a soup and desert made with Swallow's nests. And meals with bats. Yum. Both from Malaysia I believe.
Thanks guys, keep 'em coming. Thanks for the link.

[Yoshio]

i cant remember if this was korean or japanese (saw it on the travel channel while flipping channels), but there are some people who eat still living octopus, which can be quite dangerous if it decides to stick to the inside of your throat, so it's also like a challenge since people have died when they did it wrong, i think it has some sort of macho factor to it

[shin_gyokakuran]

Koreans serve live octupus and squid. Its much like sushi or how you eat tuna, except for the part where its sometimes gets stuck to your throat. :lol:
There's also a japanese restaurant in my country where they serve pickled>?< jellyfish, haven't tried it though. :lol:

[Suki]

A pinoy delicacy is Balut, cooked duck fetuses. It's actually pretty good.

[Mikazuchi]

From japan.
I sometimes eat:
Grasshopper,A burdock(root of a tree) ,seaweed
I rarely eat:
A horse, a dog, a whale
I have not eaten, but there is an eating person:
A frog, a mamushi(snake),A sea anemone.

I watched Grandmother who ate a tarantula with Discovery channel the other day.
By the way, a Japanese eats most of the internal organs of a cow.
With a heart or a stomach or a tongue or the womb.

[hrtrunks]

some cultures eat the brains of the animals....
Yeah, pig's brain. I like it. :)

[Rain]

Some African tribes eat golden monkey brains. This isn't necessarily eating, but my friend who's Somalian told me that Somalian tribes drink cow's blood and EACH OTHER's blood to stay healthy. o.o ... Kinda like blood doping I guess but not.

[DazzleKitty]

Have any of you heard of bird's nest soup? I think it's a Chinese food, but I'm not sure. Anyways, it's just what is says. A birdnest in soup...

I hear one country (I also think this one is Chinese too, but not sure) will eat a tiger's penis in soup. It was said to help fertility. That must have been a long time ago, because tigers are an endangered species now. Wonder why?

My grandpa loves squirrel brains. He says he likes to suck them out of the skull. I think that's one of the most repulsive and disgusting things I have ever heard.

[Shawaazu]

I've tried Durian, since it's popular among us Vietnamese. I liked it. ^_^

Oh and it's not in Japan, but people have eaten pig's tongue (Chinese). And my dad ate a dog once. (And he's born in the year of the dog! That just didn't seem right to me . . .)

[Bernard_Monsha]

A pinoy delicacy is Balut, cooked duck fetuses. It's actually pretty good.


Oh I forgot about balut, there are two kinds one is a fermented cooked egg the other is the duck in egg. The latter is beyond gross and made me wretch (i could not get past eating feathers)


My grandpa loves squirrel brains. He says he likes to suck them out of the skull. I think that's one of the most repulsive and disgusting things I have ever heard.

They don't do that around here I think your grandpa is pulling your leg. ;)

They do suck crawfish heads here to get the brains and fat out. You suck them until the eye stalked are retracted.

One of the oddet things that they eat around here are Amphiuma (http://216.109.89.105/reptile_amph/reptile_amph_l/ar0504_1l.jpg) a legless salamander that lived in our ditches eating crawfish and the like. The skin them and cook them in gumbo. I have never had it before but I have seen them trolling the ditches for them.

Both are true. Chinese people will eat absolutely anything. Bird's nest soup actually isn't that bad. ;S The one I detest is SHARK'S fin soup. Animal cruelty, ugh.

Regarding your grandpa... that's just nasty if it's true.

[DazzleKitty]

They don't do that around here I think your grandpa is pulling your leg. ;)


Oh, I am positive he isn't. During squirrel season, he has us go out and kill some for him (he's too old to get them himself). I actually went to a dinner where he had some squirel brains. My mom always talks about how he eats them...
He's funny. He looks out in his backyard at all these doves and squirrels going about and talks about how good they taste. I usually look at those things and think 'that's cute', but he gets hungry....
He also likes blood sausage too, which is just as gross as squirrel brains.

tiger penis soup :lol:

boy does that bring back memories, back when i was an elementary school kid, i learned about tiger penis soup and it cracked me up, it was always fun to see the looks on people's faces when they first heard about it

[Rain]

tiger penis soup :lol:

They really do eat it though.

I don't find it that funny...

[Leader Desslock]

Oh, I am positive he isn't. During squirrel season, he has us go out and kill some for him...
I'll back you up on this. I've never heard of people eating the brains, but I've got some old family cookbooks that have recipes for squirrel meat. They're not recipes for "any game you come across, hopefully rabbit" meat; the recipes are very clearly labeled "squirrel pie" and so forth.

[Shiroiyuki]

I live in the sticks <_<, and there is this old guy that lives about a mile down the dirt road from our property. The dude is just plain crazy.

He will eat just about anything--squirrel, dove, sparrow (he's told us that it takes a bunch to make a meal @_@)....stray cats. That's just gross. He loves moose, bear, and elk too......on more than one occasion, he has stopped by our house offering my dad some 'elk burgers'. *shiver*

If he finds something even remotely edible, he'll go for it. I am seriously afraid of that man.

[Leader Desslock]

Ah... here's the Pratchett quote I was looking for:

Genuan cooking, like the best cooking everywhere in the multiverse, had been evolved by people who had to make desperate use of ingredients their masters didn't want. No one would even try a bird's nest unless they had to. Only hunger would make a man taste his first alligator. No one would eat a shark's fin if they were allowed to eat the rest of the shark.

~Terry Pratchett
Witches Abroad


He loves moose, bear, and elk too......on more than one occasion, he has stopped by our house offering my dad some 'elk burgers'. *shiver*
Moose and elk are extremely tasty. Bear's a bit greasy, but it makes an acceptable stew in a pinch.

you know the old saying.."I'm hungry enough to eat a horse!"

Well, I have..I didn't know what the hell it was, and it was served to me RAW..and I tasted it, thinking it was tuna or something like that. WRONG ANSWER...play again...

it was kinda "gamey" tastin..and after I found out what I was chewin on, I immediatly went to the bathroom and puked... :x

i actually kind of liked raw horse meat...

i dont think i could eat the turtle though (its called suppon, by the way. its a species of snapping turtle), because i have a turtle as a pet. funny how i never had a problem with fish though....

I've ended up eating it twice without knowing about it beforehand :P Has completely weirded me out seeing books about meat here in Japan and turning the page to the horse meat section >D I will NOT eat it knowingly though. I'm one of those people that as a little girl I had a "horse phase". I don't knock other people for eating it. Whatever. That's their deal, I just won't do so knowingly :P

I still haven't tried my prefecture's "meibutsu" (famous product), which is "funa zushi", which is basically fermented fish. I'm not a huge fan of sushi or sashimi (I'll eat it, it just doesn't float my boat, as it were) and the idea one would take raw fish and purposely ferment it is bizarre to me :P *shrug* Some days I hate fulfilling some of the stereotypes Japanese people have about non-Japanese >)

[sailornyanko]

some cultures eat the brains of the animals....

Yeah, I know a taco place just 10 minute walk from my house (though the place is only open once a week) that sells cow brain tacos for 70 US cents a piece. I've never dared try them though. Yuck. Moronga (fried random animal's blood) tacos are very popular. Haven't dared eat them either. I always eat normal stuff in those places like cheese and mushroom tacos.

Heh, I've already eaten horse meat. Tastes almost identical to beef.

[Shiroiyuki]

I've eaten lamb brains before. Didn't know what it was when I ate it, but I really didn't mind after I found out. It was damn tasty. I love greek food! *greek food=heaven*

It was made into a weird chip dip deal.....don't remember what it was called. My friend's mom made it for us (they also own a restaurant).

[madpierrot]

I had soften chicken bone once. You know that feeling when your knee pops, yeah it's like eating that.

[Shiroiyuki]

I've almost choked on fish bones before....but I've never intentionally eaten them.

:x That's sick!!

I tried squid once, and it grossed me out for some reason. They're just ugly animals, and eating them wasn't too good. They kinda tasted like fish-flavored rubber bands. It was so gross and I wanted to swallow it quickly, but it was so chewy that I couldn't!

[Burbster]

I don't know why so many people hate squid. I think it's nice.

[Matsu'o Tsurayaba]

Fish intestines,raw meat,eyeballs,liver.

[Rain]

I don't know why so many people hate squid. I think it's nice.

Only if it's calamari.

[KuroiKenshi]

squid is absolutely delicious. fried, raw, grilled, however. most people who cant stand squid but dont mind other seafood in my experience just havent had good squid. to those people, i say try living in hokkaido! there's great squid to be had there.

i used to eat squid ~3 times a day :P

[Kaoru9124]

No one mentioned kimchii? Bury some salted cabbage in the ground, dig it up a couple months later, then have it with dinner? Surprisingly, it makes a surprisingly good stew with cubed pork.

Which reminds me, this isn't quite Asia, but the Icelandic people like to bury cod or shark in deep gravel for a few months, then dig it up and serve (uncooked!) with alcohol. No surprise there...

Okay, okay!! Kimchi is good!! I really do like it..cold. Goes good with fried squid and fish.***drool****

Husban was in Greenland..the natives there buried their food in the ice like that..cept their meals consisted of seals and whales..
fricken polar bear decided one day that my husbands military truck was a good snack item and began thrashing it when he was inside a steel hut out on one of his many posts he had to check everyday. I laughed my butt off when he told me that all the bear wanted was his baby ruth that he had accidently left inside of the vehicle!!

[Leader Desslock]

Kimchii is far better than I thought it would be. Dad came back from Korea (war) with horror stories about it. I thought it was fairly tasty.

[Chousho]

A pinoy delicacy is Balut, cooked duck fetuses. It's actually pretty good.

My friend said they were raw or cooked chicken fetus. Close enough I guess, haha.

What is weird to eat to foreigner?

natto?

I used to work with a half Korean, half American friend of mine and he'd bring it to work occaisionally. We use to grill it up with pork chops. It was absolutely fantastic. I unfortunately don't live anywhere near a Korean grocer anymore and I don't think the local Japanese carry it, but I've been dying to have it.

Kimchii is far better than I thought it would be. Dad came back from Korea (war) with horror stories about it. I thought it was fairly tasty.

My recently deceased grandfather said the same thing about Tsingtao beer; it was the only beer he could get while in Korea and even then they could only get it when the Chinese were out of the area. We went to a Chinese restaurant one night for dinner and he actually volunteered to have a bottle (I think my dad and uncle had one each with him, too). He said it still tasted like $h*t though, which I suppose is vastly different than Kimchii, as I've nver really wanted to fancy a taste of Tsingtao.

[Bernard_Monsha]

Considering that good kimchee is left to ferment for a year he may have been right. I rather enjoy it on pizza.

Nuc Mam (fermented fish sauce) is another nasty thing that is supriseingly good.

The Romans used to love pig teats and vulvas on the plate. Take that tiger penis soup!

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...enter the Filipino...Balut is especially good after it has been "cooked in mud" after 18 days. The crunchier, the better. just shuck it outta its shell...mmmm...feathers...

...Dog has always been taboo for pinoys, but if the ocassion calls for it i.e.drunken revelry, we will kill a dog and roast it. not bad really. before you chuck your spears, the philippines has a lot of stray dogs, and we would never kill a "domesticated" a.k.a. imported and expensive dog just to eat it. that would be silly.

...monitor lizards anyone? they're not your average sized lizards that you see on TV. they grow up to be almost 5 ft., from head to tail, that is...but as a delicacy? TASTES just like chicken, when, and ONLY when you cook it the right way...

...more to come...

I love squid. At first I wasn't so sure I'd like it because I don't like octopus that much (too hard to chew and not much flavor), but squid is soft and has a great taste. Tastes great in paella.

No wonder I feel so grieved that I'm now allergic to the stuff. ¬¬

[Danju]

Moronga (fried random animal's blood) tacos are very popular. Haven't dared eat them either. I always eat normal stuff in those places like cheese and mushroom tacos.
Mmm. They're both actually really good. My dad's family (which is Mexican) always throws Cinco de Mayo parties, where those are on the menu along with menudo (cow tripe stew). I've been eating food like that since I was a kid and I love it.

[sailornyanko]

I think I might have eaten menudo before. Is it the same thing as pancita? I swear those tacos I've eaten sometimes had cow intestines in them! They were actually very good, mmmm chunks of fat.

[Suiko Eiji]

I forgot to add in my last post, the dish that's basically raw egg over steamed rice. I used to eat it before class - portions of the egg cook themselves using the heat of the rice. It's pretty tasty, but my dormmates would always freak out.

Someone mentioned natto earlier. I hate it. It's disgusting, and rightfully so. My Japanese friends love it and they think I'm weird...

[RamenBoy]

in china they eat puppies, kitties, pig's tougne, a certain bird's saliva (accually quite good and expensive), ferrets, skunks, etc..

[Danju]

I think I might have eaten menudo before. Is it the same thing as pancita? I swear those tacos I've eaten sometimes had cow intestines in them! They were actually very good, mmmm chunks of fat.

Yeah, pancita is just another name for menudo. Ha, I remember bringing menudo to school and grossing everyone out at lunch.

[Shiroiyuki]

I'm surprized no one's mentioned Haggis yet--- a Scottish dish that is very popular.

A sheep's heart, liver, and lungs seasoned with onion, oatmeal (and some other spices I can't quite remember at the moment), are mixed with stock, and boiled in the sheep's stomach for an hour.

Urgh.

ive had haggis. its not bad. personally i kind of like nattou when prepared the right way also.

but then again ill eat just about anything if im hungry enough...

hiroaki is right: crab brains are good

But my friend did have Vegetarian haggis for lunch there. I tried it.

I was made to eat meat :(

Well, I don't know why eating a roast dog or whatever is more repulsive than chicken. They're both equally disgusting when they're raw. You're just used to chicken.

Didn't you just answer your own observation? :P I think it's fairly obvious to most people that it's more difficult to wrap your head around the thought of eating things you're completely unused to think of as normal food :P

One time i ate a big sac of mentaiko (spicy cod eggs) all at once. i almost puked. it was only after that that they told me youre supposed to split it up with rice. oops

[Jetta]

i could tell you of a horrifrying thing i watched though i can't figure which type of asians was doing it .. but anyway they showed what they do to the cats .. i thought i was watching faceses of death... they caught the cats a whole buch put them in cages
they woul put one on a stick like with a rope around and try to break its neack lets just say they beat thehell out of it...i was crying because if i really was there i would of grab all those cats and got the hell outta there..
they did all types of messed up things to these cats so people could eat it
one thing i will never understand why make something go through a f**ck up death
just to eat.. why not make death quick for them ... i'm all sad now...
thing got all skin alive fryed ... i'm still hurt over what i wacthed and relized all types of crazy things like this go around the world just so one could eat...
i wonder if the human eating thing is stll a fab ughhh :(

[kiyomi]

Jettachan..you have now officially grossed me out.....

and I think it's the Koreans that eat dog & cat..

Did see with my own eyes when I visited Korea back in the 70's, this old Korean guy on a bicycle that had 4 medium size cages strapped to the back seat filled with PUPPIES...they were being taken to "market"...which means they were taken to be sold as dinner..that's what my Korean friend told me when I had asked her about it..I freaked.
Now, I don't know if she was just kiddin me or what..but I've heard some real horror stories about it...gave me nightmares for a month...

[Shiroiyuki]

Oh, that's so sad :(.

Poor little puppies....and kittens.....I hate animal cruelity.

[kiyomi]

*Chunks a frying pan at Chousho's head!!!!!!!!!*

[sailornyanko]

It's cruelty if they fry it alive knowing the animal feels everything.

No wonder I detest bullfighting with a passion. Ironically according to mexican law, bullfighting is "technically" illegal. This is because they kill the animals and sell the meat as food. According to mexican law it's illegal to force an animal for human consumption to suffer while you kill it and since they stab the bulls giving them a slow painful death, well...

Too bad not enough people know the law to actually put it into action.

[kiyomi]

hmmm..maybe I should become a veggie-terrian....

Nahhhhh..love steak too much....

Yes as do the Chinese and Filipinos. I have seen what Jetta is talking about, they basically wack the cat to immobilize it them put it in boiling water to take the fur off before butchering it is often flailing about in the boiling water. The cat is still alive after is dunk to be skinned alive and gutted. Not very pleasent at all. Amongst the stranger things i have picked up and mistakenly handled in China town is dried human placenta. The grind it up and make a tea it is supposed to to increase the chances of conception. :x

I saw them actually do that to a cat on tv once. It was years ago when I saw this on tv. It was a documentry about China. It upset me back then, and disturbs me even now. Do they have to do it that way? Couldn't they at least quickly kill the cat somehow before they dunk it in the water?

That placenta thing is gross. I don't understand how they could eat something like that.....

[Leader Desslock]

Yeah, I've seen the documentary a long time ago where it showed a live cat being skinned and boiled. It was on either HBO, PBS, ABC or one of those lower channels.

[Ageha]

Oh, and the most horrible Japanese food in my opinion - NORI. I can't stand the taste or smell of it.

Maybe you're thinking of wakame? Wakame has a texture that's more slimy...but maybe nori IS what you're thinking of. :O

The thing I refrained from trying here was freshly cut off octopus tentacles. @_@ I can eat cooked octopus, I just don't like it very much (too chewy and it lacks any kind of taste to me)...but to have the tentacles flailing around in front of me was quite creepy. We were also served sashimi with the head of the fish on the plate...with the gills still moving. Instant appetite killer, at least for me!

And, I'm sure it's no big deal to some of you, but I still won't touch shishamo (a kind of fis) that gets stuffed with eggs. T__T We have it all the time for school lunch and I just won't eat it. ;p Alas, I tend to live up to the stereotypes Japanese people have of what foreigners won't eat/don't like (sashimi, sushi, natto, umeboshi etc.).

Perhaps just the website links next time? I may be a hypocrite because I eat beef and chicken...but I really didn't need to be greeted with *this* when I clicked on the thread.

[kiyomi]

Now I'm officially pissed off and bawlin my dang eyes out, after seeing those pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks alot, monkeynuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :crybaby:

[Burbster]

Maybe you're thinking of wakame? Wakame has a texture that's more slimy...but maybe nori IS what you're thinking of. :O I am thinking of Nori. I just hate seaweed, it's nasty.

[hiroaki]

Without pig...回教徒？haha

Because livestock carcass (Fish's embryo,Animal's burned body...) makes your body. :naughty:

[Shiroiyuki]

Oh....my....GOD.....

That was the most terrible thing I've ever seen in my entire life *sniff*.

Just link the pictures (even the non-'grotesque' ones), that was evil. Now I'm going to have nightmares.....

:(

[Suiko Eiji]

wtf is a "platipii"??? is that like..Platypus?? :huh:

I think that's the technical pluralized term for platypus... either way, that's what I meant.

[kiyomi]

Never had it..what's it taste like?? Chicken?? :blink:

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... when i was a kid, my older relatives told me that siopao, a kind of chinese meat bun, was made out of cats.

...urban legend or not, the place where we buy siopao NEVER has stray cats around it...

[Suiko Eiji]

Never had it..what's it taste like?? Chicken?? :blink:

I've never had it either; just that everyone is talking about how cute the puppies or kitties are; yet no one remembers the platypus. Just saying.

(I assume it tastes like duck...)

[kiyomi]

^to the great nekochan.*****shiver*********

*meow* :dance: it does now.....

[kiyomi]

I've never had it either; just that everyone is talking about how cute the puppies or kitties are; yet no one remembers the platypus. Just saying.

(I assume it tastes like duck...)

Ohh..okay..gotcha hun! :naughty:

hmmm..could taste like duck I suppose..have you ebver had alligator meat? It's tough and gamey..don't like it.

Platypus's are kawaii too!! (just for you, hun) :cool:

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...platypus with mango salsa...hmmmm...that could work if its gamey...the mango salsa will definitely change the taste... or oregano...LOTS of oregano...

[Polaryzed_123]

hmmm..could taste like duck I suppose..have you ebver had alligator meat? It's tough and gamey..don't like it.MMmmmm....Alligator...to me alligator tastes like Fishy Chicken. Kinda weird.
My favorite meat is Camel though. Sweet and delicious!

[sailornyanko]

Those pics were pretty nasty. Makes me feel sad that China on one hand is striving for international prestige as one of the new big economic powerhouses of the world and on the other hand they are still unable to let go of such atrocic acts.

I'm okay if they eat dogs for food, but they could at least treat them humanely? I mean putting corpses next to living animals? Stocking tons of large dogs inside of tiny cages?

Mexico may not be the #1 animal rights defender on the planet, but even here they try to treat animals for meat better than that. Trucks carrying live pigs to the butcher aren't nearly as cramped up as in that photo.

The Federal District did the *OMG!* good deed of closing (probably permanently) the Nezahualcóyotl rastro because it broke animal rights and sanitation laws. Knowing how slumy Neza-York is, that place will probably stay closed for good.

[kiyomi]

MMmmmm....Alligator...to me alligator tastes like Fishy Chicken. Kinda weird.

How the heck do you eat a friggin CAMEL???

By the HUMP?????????? Ackkkk!!!!!!!!! :w00t:

[Polaryzed_123]

How the heck do you eat a friggin CAMEL???It was REALLY good. I had Camel burgers and Camel steaks while in Australia. Awesome! :)

[kiyomi]

okay..if you say so hun..**shiver****

don't camels spit and smell really bad?? (kinda reminds me of my math teacher in HS)

what other exotic kinds of food have ya all had???

[Polaryzed_123]

what other exotic kinds of food have ya all had???Lets see, Kangaroo, Emu, snake, Alligator, Crocidile, Camel, Ostrich,.....now I'm drawing a blank....hhmmmm...

[kiyomi]

you've eaten a KANGAROO???????????!!!!!!

those cute animals that bounce real high and have cute little joeys????????

THEM????????

AAAcccckkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!**grabs heart...having painful attack ..**

[Polaryzed_123]

you've eaten a KANGAROO???????????!!!!!!Yep. Not bad, but no where near the Camel. I'm an avid beef lover and I'd trade a beef burger for a camel burger in a hearbeat. It was that damn good. :D The kangaroo was kind gamey. Kinda like eating deer meat that you hunted.

[kiyomi]

do you live in a ZOO???????? where the heck do you get kangaroo meat and camel meat at???????? NOT that I wanna try it, mind you..oh heck NO I don't wanna try it!!!!!!! I'd probably end up crying if I found out I had roo on my plate....

[Polaryzed_123]

do you live in a ZOO???????? where the heck do you get kangaroo meat and camel meat at????????Nope, I just like to keep my mind (and mouth) open to new things. I got the Kangaroo and Camel in Australia. Similar to getting deer in America.

[kiyomi]

you do know how some people get deer here in the US..right?? They run over it...

could be they do that too in aussieland..oh well..to each his own..

the most exotic thing Ive ever eaten was gator meat ..didn't like it

give me good ol sushi and I'll be fine..I'm not that keen on trying new things..Im old and set in my ways..so sue me..

[Polaryzed_123]

I LOVE sushi. I can't get enough of it. All kinds. In fact that's the only reason I don't mind going on business trips.

[kiyomi]

I hear in Japan, they eat blow fish raw..isn't blow fish like..poisonous??

maybe it was angel fish....think thats poisonous too....

man..my people sure do love to live dangerously....

[sailornyanko]

Ironically Japanese people have one of the highest life expectancies in the world despite their love for fugu... Though I don't know how mainstream fugu is. I'd sincerely think twice before eating it.

Hrm kangaroo eeh? Sounds interesting. I'd like to know what gamey food tastes like. You can't really find Deer over here. Once I was about to eat rabbit, but 50 pesos sounded waaay too expensive considering I was at La Marquesa (a semi protected forest outside of the main city that has picnic joints all around it. freshly killed Trout and Rabbit are the main dishes served there).

I have eaten Buffalo burgers before. They tasted pretty good.

[kiyomi]

man..buffalo..kangaroo...camel..it's a veritable "Wild Kindgom" on the menu. :P

[Suiko Eiji]

Buffalo tastes absolutely fantastic!

[Danju]

Like chickens (you know, the ones raised to be KFC) are treated any better. Everyone's just freaking out because they're dogs. Discrimination, I tell you!

[DazzleKitty]

don't camels spit and smell really bad?? (kinda reminds me of my math teacher in HS)



Well, pigs smell bad too and wallow around in their own crap, yet so many people eat them. :P

[Leader Desslock]

Not intentionally, if they have anything approaching a brain. It's too easy to rupture the internal organs and ruin the meat.

Eating a deer after you accidently hit it is sort of like an immediate consolation prize back in Maine. You've just done about $2,000 of damage to your car and probably been injured, so the least the game wardens / state troopers can do to make you feel better is give you the meat. That's just common courtesy, and it'll keep your family fed throught the winter.

As for moose - nobody hits those to eat them because they generally walk away from your wrecked car afterwards. Big animals, moose.

Yeah, it's 2 grand if you're lucky.

I had a deer vs. car match once - I was extremely lucky because the deer was running across the roadway (perpendicular to the car, for you math geeks) and managed to leap over the car ... for the most part.

One of the hooves got caught on the very top of the frame, causing it to stumble and roll over the roof and then run into the forrest on the other side.

As for moose - nobody hits those to eat them because they generally walk away from your wrecked car afterwards. Big animals, moose.

Yeah, those things are frickin' huge. I'm tempted though, if I can, on my next trip to Canada that I'm going to attempt Moose hunting. I'm not a hunter at all, but more or less a just to see if I can try it. After all, I've got a .348 caliber Winchester my great grandfather used to use (for deer; the median sized animal it was made for is elk sized creatures) and I just need to be able to shoot five or six shots in a row (while hitting a moose and not breaking my shoulder).

[Burbster]

I was in Cambridge last month and saw a stall selling Ostrich burgers. I so would have bought one if I hadn't just eaten lunch.

[kiyomi]

geeze..what IS it with you men and "hunting"???

Bambi....Thumper....Roo..... :crybaby:

[Suiko Eiji]

^That's the thing, any other animal, I just won't do it (unless life in danger, yadda yadda yadda). For some reason, moose... I have nothing against them or any malice towards them, but ... I think it might be kinda funny.

I've had numerous oppotunities to go deer hunting, one of the local mountains has annual over-population and is always inviting hunters up to bag one or two or five. I've got two rifles that are calibered for deer but never had the drive to go.

Plus, I'm not so sure how well I'd do having to gut them in the field...

[kiyomi]

GUT THEM?????!!!!!!!!!!!!! aacccckkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!**throwing up now***

judging from the license plate, those pictures were taken in Korea.

about fugu:

you cant eat fugu all year round. you can only eat it from about january to may, because the rest of the year there is just too much poison. most people dont eat fugu very often at all. the fugu "experience" costs around $100 (at least where ive seen it... unfortunately ive never been in japan when it was in season, so i still havent eaten it), and there are a bunch of courses, all of which use the fugu in different ways. ive heard it doesnt tase that great (or, it doesnt have much of a taste), and what you are paying for is the expertise in cutting it (its actually not dangerous to eat at all, because the chefs are very rigorously tested) and for the presentation. still i would eat it just to say that I had.

ive had kangaroo, but not camel yet. funny how australia is the best source for purebred camels these days :P

someone (i think jun_inohara) mentioned freshly cut off octopus leg. ive had that here, and i say that if you are a seafood fan you should definitely try it at least once. its really really good.

[Chousho]

You've just done about $2,000 of damage to your car and probably been injured
Uhh, not if you have insurance. Every time it's been only the $200 payment to fix the grill, light, w/e gets damaged. Also, "probably injured" ? What type of cars do you have in Maine, because we've hit deer 5 times with 2 different cars and it's only done damage to the deer and to the car. Not even a seatbelt burn to complain about.

As for moose - nobody hits those to eat them because they generally walk away from your wrecked car afterwards. Big animals, moose.
Somewhat close to hitting would be horses. We used to have a mailman come by, but he hit a horse with his car and died. From what I can remember (being told), the horse came through the windshield. Not my choice way to go.

I'm talking about Whitetail Deer here, not those little pocket deer they have down south that barely have enough meat on 'em to make a sandwich. Whitetail are tall enough that if you clip an adult sideways in a standard car (i.e.: Toyota Corolla), they can roll over the hood and through the windshield. And then there's always the danger of just going off the road while swerving to avoid them, which happens on snowy roads all the time.

But yeah, most cars (esp. trucks) can take a deer hit just fine. Well, at least with no injuries to the passengers.

Somewhat close to hitting would be horses. We used to have a mailman come by, but he hit a horse with his car and died. From what I can remember (being told), the horse came through the windshield. Not my choice way to go.
Moose have this annoying habit of charging headlights, too. I'm not sure why, but there's something they see in car headlights that makes them try to jump over them. Which means that a thousand pounds of moose comes crashing down on the windshield and passenger compartment. Some folks have died that way.

I've seen an 18-wheel rig folded in half and strewn across the median from an Interstate impact with a moose. The moose died, but that truck looked like it had hit a bridge abuttment.

GUT THEM?????!!!!!!!!!!!!! aacccckkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When you have to carry it a few miles out of the woods, you do whatever it takes to make it lighter. Field dressing is common sense, and it also makes the local coyote/wolf population happy. It's no different than slaughtering any other kind of animal.

Wow dude? You could've at least put those pics as links. My mom happened to walk into the room and asked me what I've been doing on the net lately... thanks a lot. But yea, that's just sad, seriously. I'm ashamed of my own people. o.o

Yeaaa, I could become an animal rights activist one day, I can so see myself being one.

Ack, all these random pics and talks 'bout eating all kinds of animals is making me have no appetite for dinner. Thanks guys!

[Leader Desslock]

In the cities, yes. The rural areas are more backwards, of course. Entire populated regions of the state have no electricity, and in some of the places in the northern part of the state, they still cut ice for refrigeration.

I'm not making any of that up. I know people who live without electricity (and a hand-pump artesian well), and I know people who cut ice in winter.

[Chousho]

I'm talking about Whitetail Deer here

Same here. I don't live down south, by the way. Although I'm sure Maine gets more snow than upstate NY (maybe not Buffalo).

Anyway, you can keep the moose... while the environmentalists feel the need to (re)introduce all sorts of lovely critters here.

^ No, there are just regions of the state that don't have electricity, and it's not worth tucking out the fuel for gas refrigerators when you have a free source of ice in the pond next to you. They're just normal people solving a problem practically.

It takes a LOT to affect me, but that really makes me sick. That just hit home. It's almost enough to make me cry.

I could be considered a hypocrite because I eat cows, chickens, and pigs. But, at least they are killed quickly. And I find it hard to eat something I consider a pet. A dog can be a very sweet and 'loving' animal. I hate to see them treated like that. And I can't see how they could eat them. Do many people have dogs as pets in China? One would think it would be hard for them to eat a dog if they actually own a dog they are attached too...

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... the sad reality is, a lot of asian countries don't really implement strict animal control, especially with strays [both cats and dogs].

These large pressure cookers are used to liquify cats to produce "goyangi soju," a tonic believed to cure rheumatism as well as a variety of other ailments. These same cookers are used to make "gae soju" made from dog and "heuk yomsoh" a tonic made from black goats.

The following incident was recently related to KAPS by one of its members, Miss Mun Juyoung. Miss Mun lives near the Taegu Summon Market.

While passing by the Kyoung-il Health Food Restaurant, Miss Mun looked in through the window and saw a middle aged women walking slowly among the rows of hissing and boiling cauldrons. In her arms she held a cat, who seemed undisturbed by the water on the floor or the stream so thick in the air. Stopping at one of the hot kettles, the women sniffed once and dropped the cat in to the boiling water. Hideously scalded by the boiling water the cat screamed and clawed its way out but, the blank-faced woman, pushed it back in the water with a stick over and over again until the cat finally lost consciousness. The woman fished it out once more, the cat mewing and whimpering in pain, whereupon the woman pushed it back in for the final time.

btw i didnt take it home i said she could have and i think she did lol

Believe it or not there are a few people in the UK that do that. I saw a show were a lady threw a party to eat her afterbirth cooked like bubble and squeak :x


The Brits do eat to much offal anyway. I once dated a girl from the UK who took me to meeet her mother who imigrated here and she baked me something called Lancanshire Hot Pot that was every part of an animal I never want to eat (except lungs because they are illeagal here).

In Jpn, mother can eat her placenta in some hospitals.
The taste of the placenta is like the lever.

You can buy the placenta in Jpn. (http://www.seo-k.com/pla/)

Probably more like pork. A joke amongst anthropoligist is to call any unidentified meat sweet pork. It is the universal description for human flesh amongst cannibals that spans contenants and oceans. This is probably because it is exactly what it taste like. We used to have a lot of fun with it on digs in Mexico when eatiing at local vendors who would not tell us what type of meat they were selling "It must be sweet pork" we would all start laughing.

All meat tastes the same to me. I always smother my meat with any spice I can get my hands on - be it hot sauce, peppers or whatever. I've never heard that though, "sweet pork" being the universal description for human flesh. Interesting. I foresee a lot of jokes in the near future.

I have run into new nastyness in modern day cuisine. Some Inuit tribes like to put dead seagulls in pots of water and let it stew for a couple of weeks then drink it. They call it sea gull wine. MMMM....MMMMM......MMMM. Almost as bad as Irn Bru.

So far as historical nastyness the Cohelia indians of southern texas enjoyed leaveing fiish out for a week then picking out the maggots and savouring them. They also performed soomething politely called "second harvest"

I live in the sticks <_<, and there is this old guy that lives about a mile down the dirt road from our property. The dude is just plain crazy.

He will eat just about anything--squirrel, dove, sparrow (he's told us that it takes a bunch to make a meal @_@)....stray cats. That's just gross. He loves moose, bear, and elk too......on more than one occasion, he has stopped by our house offering my dad some 'elk burgers'. *shiver*

If he finds something even remotely edible, he'll go for it. I am seriously afraid of that man.

Don't go to any Native American powwows then. Buffalo, elk, deer, amadillo, possom, dog, snake, squirrel, dove, rabbit, moose, - they can all end up on the plate.

Who said Sea Anemone? Freaking disgusting. I didn't think those things were edible, jeez ewww...

Wait I once ordered a bunch of random things in a Chinesse restaurant and there were these tough white things. Ohh god, maybe that was it...

Eating dogs just seems wrong too, but I guess it's the cultural difference.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...^those tough white things were probably just squid. yeah, squid.

[tlsmith1963]

They don't eat it in jappan but Durian fruit. It smells like rotten Salami and taste like slimy rotten onions mixed with avacado and bannana.

Now I have been to a resteraunt in Tokyo were you pick a turtle and they prepare it fresh for you includeing an aparatiif made from sake and the raw beating turtle heart dropped in. They also put the liver and spleen in seperate cups during the meal for your enjoyment. It cost and arm and a leg to do this about 250-300 dollars for 4 people.

We have a lot of Chinese, Vietnamese, & Filipino people who come to our casino, & they definitely like snacks with durian in them. I found a wrapper that had a durian snack in it one time & wondered what it was. I had never heard of the fruit before then.

Durian is the the worst oriental/tropical fruit I've ever tried... maybe second to Jackfruit. Never in my life am I gonna try anything durian, it seemed to ruin my taste buds for a few days. That's how bad it was.

I've had durian on a few occassions and still can't fathom how anyone could enjoy it. I'd like to debate whether it can actually be called a fruit or not. >.>

[sailornyanko]

I wonder if Durian tastes worse than Papaya. Believe me, you don't want to eat papaya, it tatses the way it smells, like some sort of rotten meat or something. *shudders*

[umeboshi_neko]

Contrary to the above, I love Papaya, It's one of my favourite fruits next to mango and persimmon.
Apparently, Durian is supposed to smell like cheesy feet (though to some it smells of perfume) and taste of custard.
And if you eat too much, It will give you the same effect as eating 3 cans of baked beans without stopping to chew properly.

weirdest thing I've heard of in the orient are loach hotpot, Basashi, and dancing fish sashimi.

[Chousho]

I heard from a lady from Malaysia that you can't drink soda or a cabronated drink with some fruit, as it'll have the same effect of alkaselzer on birds. I think it may have been durian.

[Rain]

Facts are there, it is a fruit. I can't either, but my dad LOVES it. He even has durian chips, how tasty?

And you think papaya's bad? Try durian. I'll warn you though, you might puke. I did the first time I tried it.

I dunno were you are getting your papaya the ones here are sweet. Guava fruit stinks to high hell but still taste sweet. I had fresh durian once, it made me lose my lunch. I have eaten raw snakes and live crickets before and never had anything so inedible in my gob before. Of course I have never tried rotted shark before, I doubt I will considering the name unabashedly tells you exactly what it us. Unlike the fruit connation with the durian.

[Alienkid]

why would you eat a stray animal? wouldn't it be better if you farm raised the,?

[umeboshi_neko]

after i had my baby the midwife offered the placenta to my boyfriend to take home and fry up for me to eat! i was kinda out of it on gas and air but im sure she was aisan she said that if i eat the placenta i'll get back all the vitamins and stuff my son took from me while i was pregnant and id heal quicker for it! now this was in a welsh hospital lol its a small world
In the wild, some animals eat the afterbirth. If you leave a cat to give birth on its own naturally, she'll eat everything that came of the birth, umbilical cords and all, then carry on life as normal with her new babies.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... what lightweights. you think that Papaya's bad? i rally don't know where you get yours but Papayas are naturally sweet and rich in fiber. and it tastes better with a little lemon/lime.

... as for the Durian bashing, its true that not everybody can stomach the sweet yet strongly pungent fruit of southeast asia. however, if you eat enough of it and TRY not to be a wuss about the smell, you moght find it an enjoyable experience. but that's just me. For me, its just another fruit.

FYI: a single seed of Durian has the same cholesterol content of 7 yolks of eggs.

[kiyomi]

so..if you eat enough of this Durian..then..you'll blow up?? :P

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...^no. but you'll die of hypertension. but BOY is it good! [chomps on durian]

I was just talking with some Pilipino people and this lady said she once ate so much durian it put her into a fever. But I guess a nice shower got rid of whatever was wrong.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...this is true. if you eat enough or a lot of durian, you will feel warm and your head may start to hurt. that is actually your blood pressure going up. so be careful.

[umeboshi_neko]

Has anyone ever actually died of eating durian?

[Tonyx35]

I can't really eat fresh Durian. The smell was always too strong and the taste and texture wouldn't really help either. I just stay away from it for my own good :P

I can however eat the rectangular candy form of it (only a few pieces though) I also eat the Pie version of it but I sometimes can't finish my one and only slice :lol:

[Big Shot]

I think I'll stick to rice, beans and porkchops, thank you...

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...c'mon now. dying from eating durian? ridiculous. although it could happen. that this is chock full of fat and bad cholesterol. but MAN is it delicious! (drools)

[shin_gyokakuran]

^eating durian without peeling it first. That er maybe that could kill a person. :lol:

^i don't mind the smell of the Durian fruit, i think some customs agency in some countries are exagerrating.

[predecessor]

:x That's sick!!

I tried squid once, and it grossed me out for some reason. They're just ugly animals, and eating them wasn't too good. They kinda tasted like fish-flavored rubber bands. It was so gross and I wanted to swallow it quickly, but it was so chewy that I couldn't!
its was cooked wrong. squid should NEVER be rubbery

[Burbster]

Yep. Not many people know this, but squid has a membrane on the inside that makes it rubbery. If this is cut out then it's good.

[umeboshi_neko]

Going off topic on squid, Jamie Oliver has a recipe for tender octopus.
I didn't think that was possible.

[shin_gyokakuran]

How about eating dried squid? Its best eaten with beer or, saki, or soju. Haven't tried wine yet :lol:

[kiyomi]

wow..can't believe this thread is still going..

and btw..squid is delish..great with gohan and umeboshi.

[Crimson Wolf]

The chinese eat cats:(

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...^ the chinese eat cats in MEATBUNS. just a fair warning. they make a bit spicy to hide the taste.

wow. the thread lives again.

[tsuki no miko]

No one mentioned kimchii? Bury some salted cabbage in the ground, dig it up a couple months later, then have it with dinner? Surprisingly, it makes a surprisingly good stew with cubed pork.

Which reminds me, this isn't quite Asia, but the Icelandic people like to bury cod or shark in deep gravel for a few months, then dig it up and serve (uncooked!) with alcohol. No surprise there...

Of course I love it! :) Koreans can't do without it cuz it's like the essential dish that goes with every meal.

*To add a bit to the discussion going on here*
1. Some people are saying that Koreans eat cat but uh..hello? <_<
I'm not sure where that information came from but I've lived almost my entire life here in Korea and I haven't seen any cat soup or cat meat shops around.

2. About the dog meat discussion. Yes, the Koreans eat dog meat or dog soup which is called 'boshintang'. The issue itself is very controversial here also. Some pet owners rally against the killing of dogs while some people state that boshintang is one country's own culture and that it's not like boshintang makers are killing every dog in Korea. The dogs that are actually eaten are only specific breeds and the process of getting dog meat is like that of getting a cow's or chicken's meat.

I'm not sure what to think myself because there are so many opinions going on here. So please! Don't wrap up Korea as one whole disgusting country that goes around killing all sorts of dogs. -_-;

And Hiroaki, I think your biased posting on dog meat is enough. I sometimes get the feeling that you're just trying to make a bad impression on Korea. If so please restrain will you? Thanks.

BTW I found a interesting site on the dog meat culture. It's about supporting details on why the dog meat culture should be approved of. Although I don't agree on some points it's nice to get a look at someone else's view.

http://wolf.ok.ac.kr/~annyg/english/index.html

[se7enzgirl]

c'mon,why does boshintang have such bad impression on certain ignorant people?its not like dogs are snatched from their owners' arms to be killed.

countless other people in the world eat far more disgusting/inhumane stuff.things a normal person wouldnt even consider edible.and speaking of inhumane,sun bears are kept in tiny cages in parts of china,having their bile drained everyday through a hole in the gall.and when the bile is gone,their paws are chopped off to be cooked.

so rearin dogs for their meat is cruel?tell me about it.

[se7enzgirl]

and I think it's the Koreans that eat dog & cat..


whats with all the "koreans are eatin kitties" nonsense.
seems like groundless biased-ness,yet again.
for the record.cat meat is NOT sold in any kind of shop here.<_<

if your freaked out by korea,go check out whats being served up in china restaurants before jumping to any conclusions like the above.
some examples include the civet cat (which proceeded to spread SARS to the world), sun bears(an endangered species),and the all-time favorite,DOG.

[Chousho]

The chinese eat cats:(
Five and a half months later...

They eat Durian all over SE Asia. Durian is worse than balut and mexicans fighting for cow eyes

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... balut only tastes good if you have a little salt and some hot sauce. oh, and a nice frosty beer or two to wash it down with. the crunchier, the better tasting.

[Ridley-X4]

I dunno about you but I HATED Sea Urchin Roe when I ate it. It is made of ew and disgust.

[Suki]

Are you freaking kidding me. Durian is amazing.

[Bernard_Monsha]

Are you freaking kidding me. Durian is amazingly wretched. It taste like rotten onions that were predigested by a cow. It is also the only fruit you have to pick maggots from.

I fixed your statement to make it factually correct.

Since I'm quoting you... one of my mom's friends is from malaysia and mentioned a fruit that you die from if you take a carbonated (or was ia caffeinated) beverage with. I'm thinking it was durian. Not sure, as her durian fruit crackers smelled like old cheese enough to not tempt me.

It is indeed durian, it happens with some wines too.

Also, I'm told you can cook a durian in some way that can remove the smell so all you get is a much better taste, but don't quote me on that.

[Lunay]

I would like to experience this so-called "king of fruits" one of these days. I have heard that more yellow the flesh is, the sweeter it is like mango, but with an aftertaste of garlic and/or onion. It sounds very intimidating but Im up for the challenge.

Well, considering ramen is just a type of noodle, that depends entirely on what you cook with it.

[ZeroRyoko1974]

of all the weird things I have seen on Iron Chef, the craziest was somehting an american chef (mario batali) cooked up on a Iron Chef USA episode. It was like the innards of a sea urchin with whipped cream served as desert. It was the first time I have ever seen all 3 judges all basically say it was disgusting

Hirouki Sakai made fish Ice Cream and on the Japanese one. The judges thought it was vomit inducing and asked him how he could try to do that to them.

"Saying Durian isn't bad - coming from someone who eats it like it's nothing". Seems kind of repetitive :D

Btw, where has Mel been, and come back with such an avatar as such and such with suchness?

[HoshikuHanako]

some cultures eat the brains of the animals....

In the Cajun areas it's a delicacy to eat crawfish brains....:P

A pinoy delicacy is Balut, cooked duck fetuses. It's actually pretty good.

The Phillipinos have the nastiest things to eat...I don't know if the Japanese are worse though....LOLz

There's a type of durian over that's really has no smell on it but is as sweet as custard pudding, if you ever venture in singapore, try some.

over ripe durian is very sweet but the smell is very uh intimidating. :lol:

High Five! Have you ever had a Durian Shake?

[Suiko Eiji]

Well, considering ramen is just a type of noodle, that depends entirely on what you cook with it.

Traditional Ramen is a soup usually with vegetables, egg, and sometimes meat in it, so it's more than just the noodle type.

Most often when you hear of people eating Ramen, they're usually talking about the cheap noodles and powder.

[Chousho]

High Five! Have you ever had a Durian Shake?
No, but I've had one wiggle.

[Darren]

I eat small animal brains like chicken. Chicken and pig intestines are delicious too. :)

every hear of fried ice cream? they take a ball of ice cream, cover it in crunchy stuff, fry it quick, then just open up the ball and eat the ice cream. i really wanna try it. a lot of times its green tea ice cream, but you can probably get it in vanilla.

[tsuki no miko]

Had it before :w00t:
It's done in some of the Japanese restaurants here so I tried it out.
It's yummy but the crunchy part and the ice cream altogether is overly rich so it's hard to eat a lot. -_-;

[Haro!]

Ah yes fried ice cream is good.

As far as durian goes. Durian is okay, nothing I'd care to smell again but certainly something I'd want to eat providing I didn't have to smell it. Well I guess its just a bit worse than kimchi...

[Bernard_Monsha]

The newest thing is Fried Coke. Yes fried Coca Cola. As for me I will stick with my deep fried Mars bar.

[Chousho]

We have fried ice cream up here. Not sure if it's a Japanese thing, but it tastes good.

[DazzleKitty]

I've had fried ice cream before. Lots of Mexican restaraunts have them. It's actually pretty good.

[sugaddikt]

i just read a few posts here and i have to say ive eaten some of the things people have listed here as disgusting and all i gotta say is,

dont knock it till you try it! i mean- the obviously gross stuff like insect foods and maggoty cheese i can understand..

but,

durian i find is quite tasty, its really sweet, and i guess its an acquired taste.
birds nest soup- the idea sounds gross but its supposedly really healthy for you and i dont know, i didnt find it to be gross and its actually a delicacy, an expensive one at that.
and shark fin soup...YUM?!? that stuff is sooo good and healthy for you ( i think) someone said something about animal cruelty in regards to the shark fin soup. are you serious? whats the difference between eating some salmon or shark? a shark would feel no guilt having you for lunch, so think about that lol.

[Crimson Wolf]

Ha ha!True,i suppose.
But still,i think it is gross that the French eat frogs legs,horse and snails,yuck!

[HoshikuHanako]

I've had frog legs before...they taste awesome...:naughty:

[sasami-riyo]

after promptly throwing up from just thinking about eating any of this, i have to toss in whale blubber. had it once. never, ever again.

*drool* i dont know about anywhere else, but the Jersey shore has deep friend oreos. and in japan they have three oreos on a stick, covered in vanilla chocolate, and topped with chocolate on the side.....mmmm:w00t: it might be slightly different, but who gives a damn?!

[sugaddikt]

[333jeffery]

Oddest food I've had is "squirrel dumplins". I don't recommend them, too many small bones, and very gamey tasting. Also, you have to pick the birdshot outta them....

[Kenpachi]

funniest thing, i was watching the history channel when they happened to have a show on the history of cookies, and found out that. and by slighty different, i didnt mean different as in unusual, i meant i might have gotten the description wrong-_-;

i seriously want one:w00t: but if i ever go to japan, ill be sure to get one. that is if i can find out what the hell they call it.

and whats durian shake?

[Sakura flood]

and shark fin soup...YUM?!? that stuff is sooo good and healthy for you ( i think) someone said something about animal cruelty in regards to the shark fin soup. are you serious? whats the difference between eating some salmon or shark? a shark would feel no guilt having you for lunch, so think about that lol.[/QUOTE]

The difference between shark fin soup and eating salmon is that alot of salmon is farm reared and humanely killed. What the shark fisherman do is barbaric they catch the shark live then they cut all its fins off then throw it back in the ocean alive and the poor shark dies a slow and painful death. Ohhh and sharks kill maybe 2 or 3 people a year we humans kill millions of sharks its so bad that if theres no sharks in the sea that will ruin the eco system. Sorry to go on guys.:)

[Kenpachi]

as of lately ive become a King crab leg nut. its sooooooooo good. its best when its served right out of the pot with fully melted butter....*drool*:w00t:
and its healthy and not fattening at all, plus you can eat a lot of it and not get full, and the little amount of butter thats used doesnt really matter. the only problem: my dad eats it with me, and hes been eating crab for years, and cracks the shell like nothing. its still tricky for me.

[madpierrot]

While I was there the two weirdest things for me that I had was Brain, which I guess isn't that strange, and bone which I guess is a bit odd. Someone I knew had horse sasmi and personally I think that's really weird.

how are you so sure that the salmon are "humanely" killed? salmon was an arbritrary comparison i used, my point is that in the end, they will still be killed. and eaten. and sharks are far from becoming extinct. sharks have been around ever since dinosaurs walked the earth- evolved since then of course. and lighten up, i was just being silly when i said that sharks wouldnt feel guilty having a person for lunch (i mean they really wouldnt) dont take it so seriously :P
