have you eaten foods that are considered exotic?? what is it? my older sister had eaten cooked "frog" (but i can't take it).. some i knew had eaten "rats" (they say it tastes like chicken).. some of our friends in church who came from Singapore brought "scorpion" in cheese and agreed to eat "balut" (an egg with nearly developed embryo inside) if we eat the scorpion.. i like to eat balut.. how bout you? have you eaten exotic foods?or will you?

A few years ago I visited Vermont with my dad and family. My dad had gone to a gift shop, and bought us all lolipops. I thought it was very gerous of him .. until I realized there was a huge cricket right in the middle of the lolipops! I cannot stand bugs, never mind eating them. I also have heard people have ate chocolate crickets for fun too. Both, not for me :O

i eat balut but not all of it. i do not like the hairy parts, i would just puke if i was made to eat it. i eat the yellow part, which i think is very good. nothing more exotic than that, i'm afraid. i'm not the adventurous type when it comes to trying out food. lemme stick to my good ol' trusted meat and fruits and veggies

hope you'll try, its sweet and the hair/feather is still soft, you won't feel it.. anyway, i think most people eat the yellow part only, too..
