Tastes like chicken...

OH YES!

Paging Dayvo...

I'm trying to refine my tastes nowadays (or perhaps just making an effort to act my age!).
But I was close to trying the ant egg salad in Cambodia in the winter (I bottled it) but a mate, a local, not a brave traveller, had the foetus egg dish. Fukk that for a game of soldiers!
I wouldn't have said that 20 years ago.

Nothing as gross as monkey brains but I have eaten octopus, chicken stomachs (another item similar to an inner tube, but bunched up in little balls), and several unidentified but tentacled sea creatures - all in Korea. I kept waiting for the inevitable delhi belly to strike, but strangely I was fine....

Mmmm.... tentacles... I'm rather partial to squid myself, even if the baby ones look like the Dread Cthulhu.

Can't say I've had anything I'd consider particularly gross myself, but I've had shark fin soup and abalone, both of which could be classed as being controversial.

For the record, neither taste like chicken. Personally, I'd say both are overrated as delicacies.

Poor tarantula...
I couldn't eat one.
Puffer fish I'd try....if I dared to risk the chef cutting it right and not killing me...
