Exotic food - cockroach, beetles, cricket, frog ...have you tried/liked them?

Only thing I've had was froglegs and that was a longggggggggggg time ago when my grandma cooked them for my dad and he let me try one. I think I liked it but haven't had it since for some reason. I'll try snake since I've heard it's pretty good but as for the bugs...ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Only way I would even think of eating bugs is if I had to depend on them in a survival situation.

Yes. Some eat exotic foods and they look okay with it. Here in my country, on some provinces, they eat even worms, rats and bats. I don't know what dey get out of it but i don't like to try eating them. I am good with all these foods that are normal. I don't want eating rodents, insects etc. Who knows, we can get diseases in eating them.

yes,i have seen these people eating such exotic foods in other countries being televised.Well,they eat it,they were eating those things.But just thinking about it makes me sick ... .

I haven't tried any of the said exotic foods,and i will not dare to try.

Dear Krupesh,

In certain Chinese Restaurant, they serve turtle, tortoise and
certain species of frog meat. They do not term them as padi field
frog, they call it padi field 'chicken'. So those who are naif, might
order this chicken and eat. They stir fry it with black pepper, quite
tasty. I would avoid ordering it, BUT if it is serve, I might eat a
piece or two~ Again!

I live in a small estate in a rural area. Most
of the people stay there are rubber tapper and
they are poor. When you are poor, you will be creative
with your food too, especially end of the month before
the next pay come in. Who will be the victim? The animals
better hide themself by end month or else they will end
up being serve on the dinner table...

My fifth brother have many Indian friends who live in
the estate. During weekend they will go hunting with
their dogs. They will come back with 'biawak' (monitor lizard)

Sometimes they came back with monkeys, rabbit, tortoise, etc.
At time they discovered huge snake, they will killed it and
be divided among all the families there. Once all this exotic
animals cooked with plenty of curry powder, curry leaves..
it is SOOO DELICIOUS, you will want more, forgetting what
is it! So, I have personally eaten 'bayawak', monkeys, tortoise,
turtle, rabbit, deer, birds, pigeons, and many more BUT NOT ANYMORE!

I have stop eating all this meat except quail and deer which at times
I did savour some.

Cheers and do not tell anyone...just like your avatar..LOL

I haven't had most of these foods. I tried frogs legs, but I didn't really like them. I would like to try snake, because I have heard that it is very tasty. I haven't had the opportunity to try it yet, though. My brother ate a moth to gross somebody out (and they bet him $5 that he wouldn't do it), but he said it didn't really taste that bad.

Have you had any of these? Did you like them, and would you eat them again? Is there anything you have been wanting to try that you haven't had the opportunity to try yet?
