When I was a kid, my mom made stew using beef’s tongue. She told me right after I ate it after I asked her about the meat and she insisted it was nothing weird. I felt pretty sick to my stomach after that but she found it quite funny.
craziest food I ever ate was some sort of intrals in a soup in China! Felt sick for days from the taste!
not sure if I have ever entered any of your other draws!
Love helpful Gift Guides!
Ripley’s is awesome used to watch the show as a kid all the time
I try not to eat anything weird like snails, oysters, squid, Octopus, tongue, tripe and Honeycomb tripe, hearts etc etc. So I can’t really answer the question
I ate snails when I was younger.
I am a very conservative eater. I can’t think of anything odd or adventurous that I have ever tried.
I had raccoon stew… moose burgers, both very tasty. The stew was the best I’d had ever and had no idea what it was made from til later..and then I didn’t care … it was good…
Hmmmm lets see, the only thing that I can think of right now is Pickled Herring in cream, looked so gross but was very good!!
When I was a kid I use to like raw oysters, now i won’t eat them.
The craziest food item i have eaten was Pickled Pig`s feet,they are so delicious!
I think once you eat something, you don’t think of it as weird or crazy. I suppose escargots, octopus and heart come closest. Though I’ve noticed, at potlucks, some people consider hummus and thai salad to be somewhat bizarre. I also have a friend who is creeped out by ketchup.
Craziest thing is ants, apparently as a kid I wood often go outside and eat ants
I think pig tails is a tad unique…My parents cooked them up when they had guests…lol…They are actually good. Use to come in a tin…
cochineal insects which colour our red candy! most people think nothing of it.
I’m a fussy eater. I barley eat meat. I’ve never had anything unusual.
If something seems weird, I won’t eats it. I once swallowed an ant by accident.
The craziest thing I’ve eaten is a cow’s tongue. Sliced and deep fried.
canned kippers
I tried a roasted cricket but I couldn’t swallow it and spat it out!
I don’t eat crazy food-only thing I can think of is chocolate covered bacon-it was gross!
When is as a teenage I worked I am ice cream shop and we were bored so we tried mixing all stuff with the ice cream. We mixed hotdogs and ice cream …. and dared another for take a bite… it was gross lol
I think it would be snails
I’d have to say that the craziest thing that I’ve eaten would have to be octopus.
Deep fried squid is the craziest I have eaten.
Bison before it was cool to eat bison, so back in the ’80s.
I guess im kind of boring. The weirdest thing I ever ate was escargot a long time ago…needless to say I didn’t like it.
deep fired butter at the cne it was nasty
I wouldn’t really say they are crazy things but to me they are. I’ve had rabbit and frogs legs
I’m a very boring person lol it would have to be fish
The craziest was probably eel or chocolate covered crickets!
I think the craziest food item I ate was a deep-fried Mars bar.
I (unknowingly) ate seal flipper when I was 10 and I’m still not over it…
The craziest thing I have eaten is bear meat. We had bear burgers.
The weirdest thing i’ve eaten is chocolate covered quail.
Brownies made with meal worms.
It would be squid for me! I am really not the food daredevil! Haha
no crazy food here! calamari though is on the top of the list for foods tried that were crazy enough for me
The weirdest food I ate was snake.
Ostrich burgers
I am not very adventuresome when it comes to food so crab is the most adventures thing I have eaten.
I tried Alligator once. It was interesting.
tuna and mustard when I was pregnant
i didn’t know what it was at the time but Bear roast!
Im a very picky eater so there is not much I am willing to eat. The weirdest concept though was fried ice cream .
Cod tongues. I love them.
I’m not sure, maybe octopus
I’m pretty low key with my food but probably sushi is the craziest thing, lol
I dont think I have ever really eaten anything crazy. I am very picky when it comes to food lol
I don’t even eat meat. Most adventurous thing I have ever eaten was probably dirt when I was a kid!
I don’t think I’ve eaten anything that would be considered crazy.
But I do like mixing jam and cheese wiz on crackers
Octopus
Moose burgers is the most Adventist thing I have eaten.
I’ve eaten crickets, scorpions & mealworms
