I know different countries have foods that are "normal" that other countries consider gross or weird. What food would you never even try? I don't think I could eat bugs.

Curd is actually very good. You can have it with jam or sugar. Cottage cheese is also delicious, it is similar to curd, but it isn't exactly the same thing. You can have it with sweet add-ons or serve with something salty, like meat or vegetables.

I would never eat a burger with a beaver patty. Beavers are part of the rat family and I a disgusted.

I haven't ever heard of a beaver burger. Sounds different. I love buffalo burgers and have some elk burgers in the freezer to try soon.

LOL. I just thought it was some speciality I had never heard of. I've eaten buffalo but not elk.

I think I could eat bugs but I could never eat a dog. I have eaten frogs before and they are really good. I want to try eating snakes and rats but I think dogs are out of the line. I think its very strange to do that cause dogs are considered a man best friend and if you are eating a dog, its like your eating your own best friend...ahhh

Its not the same rats we see running around the house. They are actually rats living in the rice fields and all they eat are plants and grains so I think thy are not dirty at all. It sounds dirty cause when we say rats, we always thinks about the gray rats living in the sewers but the rat I am talking about is not that kind of rat. Would you still try it?

Exactly. If I knew I was eating dog, all I would picture is all the dogs that have been my pets. Not sure if I could eat rats...

I might. I do tend to think of rats as dirty, even though I owned a rat as a pet. How do they serve them?

Well, in general i dont like to take non-veg. Though i am non vegetarian, i feel i wont like it. I see many eating animals like elephant, dogs, dolpin and seal fishes. I really like them as close to humans and killing them just for hunger is mercy less. I would never do that in life time. I request people not to kill them as they are real close pets to human beings!

It does make me sad that people kill animals that are close to extinction for food. Thanks for your response.

Insect, bugs or anything not normal to eat. I also don't eat many veggies, sorry but I grew up not loving veggies.

There are some weird veggies too, but at least they don't crawl around. :)

That's so interesting. My friends and I were just talking about that and I didn't know the name of it. I have eaten cooked duck eggs, but not with a duck inside. Thanks!

Haha, I have actually eaten bugs. French fried ants, and chocolate covered ants..they were kinda like eating nuts. (Let's just say it was because of a bet I lost with a science teacher friend, and that was my penalty lol) My grammas ethnic, and she makes some things I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, and that would be organ meats like heart, tongue, kidney and stuff like that. I would also never eat anything that was a pet type animal, like cat or dog or horse. I understand some other types of ethnic food cuisine uses those, and I know I could never eat that even if I was starving!

I have eaten beef tongue, but not the other stuff. It's nothing I would eat again. I'm still not sure about bugs. Maybe if I didn't know what I was eating.

I do think that's why some people do it. I don't think I could eat raw oysters--they just look slimy!

we have friends who are missionaries in Japan (we are in Canada) and they always tell us about the interesting food they eat such as squid ice cream and these tiny little fish that they eat like potato chips there!

I would never eat worms. There are worms that are edible in some other places and I can't and I would NEVER ever eat that.

I wouldn't like to try eating some really exotic and nontraditional animals, like dogs or rats or whatever else. I also wouldn't eat these octopuses or squids. They look disgusting with all this slime and stuff.

I don't think I will ever have the desire to eat Es Cargot or Cavier. I am usually pretty good about trying different types of food, but I don't think I could bring myself to try either of those things.
@SaNdRa15 (128)

I've tried both. Escargot is served in butter and butter makes everything better! It was weird though if I really thought about what I was eating... Cavier--I am not sure why it is such a big deal. It tasted like really salty fish and the texture is gross.

i can eat everything as long as its a normal food. it can be meat, vegetables and seafood it really matter on how they cook it as long as i can taste it. the only food i dont want to eat are those exotic food out there from frog, snake , rats, bug or etc. i hate to eat it.

Yeah, I'm willing to try some things, but I have to draw the line at bugs. Too gross.
