What is the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? mine was probably a grilled scorpion or don't ask why, a concoction of hot sauce and random things on a boy scout trip. it was for 5 bucks.

I went to a wild game banquet at a friend of mine's church. Deep fried breaded deer testicles, and muskrat stew. Surprisingly neither was all that bad, but definitely not a staple in my diet.

I lived in Guam and Saipan for two years. Many Micronesians live there who came from hunter/gatherer societies and would literally eat anything that washed up on the shore, and we would often eat what they ate.

I dare not say everything I have eaten there, but some of the more "interesting" items include dog, squid and every part of the pig that is edible. I do mean every part by the way...the intestines being my least favorite. Dog ranks just slightly above pig intestines.

I've had emu, alligator, rattlesnake, rabbit..
I started a thread similar to this one shortly after joining.
We discussed different foods that we had tried and if there was anything that we would not or could not eat.
I was surprised by how many people won't eat sour cream, cottage cheese, and even yogurt.
I believe @Tom beat all of us on trying exotic food...

Lol. yeah I bet that stuff can keep for decades lol
Every time we go to the store I buy 10 cans of Spagettios. My wife is continually telling me we already have a ton. I keep telling her we need enough to last our whole family for a month! Spagettios may not sound appealing to some people, but let those same people go without food for a few days with no prospect of finding food anytime soon, and then see what they'd be willing to trade me for a can of Spagettios. WITH MEATBALLS!!!

I'll be a rich man.

Canned spaghettios are good, I also like the raviolis

I think I’ll be a far happier and richer man while I enjoy things like canned New England clam chowder (which keeps as long) and other good foods that keep equally as long yet actually tastes good and is as good or better tasting for when TSHTF !!!!

Sometimes I eat pig ears or pig tongue ( cooked ). I like the taste. Tongue is a very soft or tender meat. Cow tongue too.
I often eat raw meat: beef, minced beef or liver.
I tried roman snails but would not eat them regulary.

Again I say, when the SHTF, I’m so happy I can distill my own whiskey. Now I’m looking for the grain…I know my cases won’t last forever.
I know a guy with an apple tree that makes 150 proof "brandy". So smooth, but you only need a little sip.

I ate snails in South Africa regularly. Typically served with a creamy buttery garlic sauce. MMMmmmmmmmm…

Over here, the Mexicans eat a lot of beef tongue tacos. I like them too. "La lingua". They also have "cabeza", AKA brain. I tried the "moronga", blood tacos, but didn't care for those. "Menudo", intestine, can be good, but it depends on how its prepared. They also have a lot of dishes with "nopales", our beloved spineless opuntia. Mexicans know their food! Probably my favorite food in all the world. The best food I've ever had anywhere on the globe was in Mexico City.
