Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
Horse fat fried frites in Quebec, delicious in spite of the equine element, or maybe the mountain oyster "carpaccio" I had in Madrid. Then again it might be the rabbit parmigiana my mom made after my dad went "hunting" accidentally with his car commuting back from NYC when I was a kid. Tasted like chicken.

I wandered into a laundromat in Figures, Spain with a backpack full of dirty clothes, noticed a small bar in back and proceeded to do laundry, drink wine and eat snacks with a few locals at noon on a weekday many years ago.

Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
Carne asada tacos con queso eaten on the street in Rosarito, Mexico, after many, many $1 tequila shots. Sabor!
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
Honestly, it is the memory of my dad sneaking over to our neighbors yard and garden and absconding with a Beefsteak tomato or two a couple times a summer. We would slice it thick and put between sliced Wonder bread with a little mayo, salt and pepper. Unbelievably addicting, I remember the tomatoes were sometimes still warm from the sun..
I learned years later that our neighbors completely sanctioned my dad's "purloining." They were wonderful people.

Pretty harsh 'snap, hers was just a snippet, not a dissertation on proper food service. lighten up.

Quick! What's the last thing you made in the kitchen?

Dinuguan, because all my relatives told me it was chocolate stew.

I think gator is as adventurous as I've gone.

Grasshopper, cow brain
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
I grew up eating tripe and vastedda (stomach lining and spleen), I have also tried testicles (a bit chewy), aligator, kangaroo, etc...pretty much anything, except for any kind of insects!
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
Snake, abalone, sea cucumber, durian, alligator, moose, kangaroo.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
I went to an insect foods event in Montreal once, and sampled everything on offer.

When I was young I ate my parasitic twin.

On a business trip to the Philippines my local coworkers insisted on me trying the local delicacy of Balut(fetal duck egg). While this may sound like the most exotic i'd have to say that really it was later in the night when i ate some chicharon bulaklak which is deep fried and is apparently a fatty sack that covers the small intestine of a pig. It was actually quite good and definitely better than the balut.

snake 4 ways (soup, stir-fry, deep-fry, blood mixed with vodka as a shot, - taiwan
crickets stuffed with french fries and deep friend - taiwan
live fish with only head half deep-fried, tail half served raw - taiwan
bull penis / turkey testicle - ny (izakaya place)
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
Live grubs in the Amazon. You turn them inside out with a stick, and eat the fatty insides, spitting out the hard head. Yum-o (not).
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
Dog cooked in a spicy stew. Raw sea urchin eggs (scooped up from freshly cracked live urchin) - very intense saline taste. Japanese squid shiokara (salted, fermented seafood - very, very slimy). On a similar note: bakasang from the North Sulawesi region of Indonesia (a grey sludge of a very pungent condiment made of salted, fermented fish, similar to bagoong from the Phillipines).
Plus other foods considered extreme by others (based on the comments here), but completely normal for me:
- cow tongue, brain, tripe, heart
- pork ear, blood, feet/hock
- chicken feet, intestines (deep fried, they're great snacks!), gizzard, liver, heart
- goat's feet
- bats (body and wings)
- 'thousand year' eggs
- durian! (luv' em since I was a kid)
- sea cucumber, jellyfish, etc.
But I do have my limits: no bugs, larvae, worms and other creepy crawlies...

the Phaal at Brick Lane Curry House in NYC. I've finished it three times. The vegetable version hurt the most.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
I make chicken and duck feet every once and a while, but some friends and I are really struggling to give Balut Eggs a shot. There's nothing I won't try, but the likely issue of texture scares the hell out of me.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
Wow, considering how many times I saw what I thought was extreme having been consumed by others, too...apparently, I'm not an extreme eater. Insects, those are inadvertant, calf fries (mmm...), toungue, McD's burgers, sushi...I guess my weirdest was sweetbreads when I was 10. I recall they were delicious, but we never went back to the restaurant.

Lamb tongue. I'm looking for an opportunity to try grasshoppers.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
I'd like to try seaweed.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
i've had fried scorpions on a stick, fermented tofu on a stick, chicken claws, eggs of some animal i didnt dare to ask (though they were black, slimy, and most certaintly tasted a bit off)...
and like others, ive sworn of mcdonalds and all other fast food for a long while now!
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
It's only extreme to my husband and friends Uni sushi. I love it . No it's not weird but that is it so far...

What's with all the Vegemite horror? It's just a by-product of beer manufacture. Beer, guys! Hardly the equivalent of rats' intestines or bear entrails!
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Extreme Cuisine'
I saw a package of chicken feet in the asian grocery and could not resist.
