So I was talking at my husband earlier about how fascinating it is that different regions of the world eat such unusual things. Some places eat bugs, others dogs, even horse is a delicacy in some places. When my hubby comments "I would try horse."
Now this made me stop and think for two reasons.
1. Holly cow I didn't even think he was listening to my random rant.
2. If someone set a big horse steak in front of me, would I try it?
What is taboo to us is often perfectly normal in other places. If the animal is not endangered or protected is it OK to eat?
Even here in the US there is a large variation in what is acceptable to eat from area to area. I grew up in the south and have eaten rattlesnake, crawfish, alligator and raccoon but in a lot of places people find that to be "disgusting."
So what exotic foods are out of the question for you folks? What things would you try? And I'm not talking about if you were starving. What have you tried that may be strange to someone else?
