In Japan this summer they released a new flavour of drink ...

It's Tamago, simply scrambled eggs. Oishii just means "yummy". The drink is indeed salty melon. Salt "Suica" (Melon) as the label reads.


Has anyone ever eaten Odori-gui? Its just small fishes that are eaten alive. Not so common around Tokyo but you often find it at the country side.

Not really odd outside of america but while I was in western asia I ate quite a bit of sheep and their guts. Not really a huge fan of it, but the only other meat that was available was chicken and they were busy laying eggs for us.

I also ate snake, it was actually pretty delicious. Was a bit of a hassle to eat because of all the bones, though.

I am about to head to Japan in a little bit, I'm expecting to eat a lot of weird crap.

I caught an eel when I was a kid when I went poaching with my dad. It was disgusting. I'm not a big fan of a lot of fish anyway but that shit was flat out putrid.

I try to refrain from eating much other dodgy shit nowadays as I have a high gag reflex. Good job I'm not gay and have a penchant for giving blowies, really.

Buffalo meat is delicious, probably my favourite meat.

Ate ostrich meat, wasn't bad, but was far from great. Partridge and pheasant meat can be nice, but both are gamey. Goose meat I love, my mum used to make that at Christmas. I have venison (deer meat) sometimes.

Also ate battered squid as a starter once and liked that.

Ah man I'm all over gamely meat. Ostrich and venison are wukkud. Rabbit is quite nice too from what I can remember, my mum cooked it in a stew after my dad caught a load when we went coursing.

You know what. It didn't even occur to me because I've been eating it for as long as I could remember but menudo might be somewhat odd if you don't live near any mexicans. It's absolutely delicious. Although, if the tripe isn't prepared right, it'll literally end up smelling and tasting like shit. :throwup:

the wierdest thing i have ever eaten is probably alligator. it was really good, but very tough as you would imagine.

i wouldn't mind trying:
fried ants
rocky mountain oysters
any kind of snake
bear meat
ghost pepper

i'm sure there are a few more things i'd be willing to try, but nothing is popping in my head right now.

Ghost pepper? You mean the Bhut pepper?

I tried it. Probably the worst thing I ever did. Had a tingling sensation from my head to my arms and felt the damn thing go through my digestion system.

My fiancee had one of these 180 Dollar melons yesterday. We had a discussion about it and no matter what you say i don't think the 180 dollar melon is THAT much better than a 2 dollar one.

I also disagree with the idea of the 100 dollar premium grapes and stuff...

No fruit is worth 100 dollars. Not even those stupid square watermelons.
