What's the most disgusting thing you've eaten?

[Conrad_K]

Liver. Any kind of liver. Between the taste and the texture, that's "Oh **** no!"

I've eaten crawfish. Edible, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat it again. Same for rattlesnake. And rabbit, for that matter. Though all the rabbit I've ever had was really greasy. Prepared differently, it might be okay. Same for gray squirrel. Venison is generally okay; it varies a lot according to what the deer were eating.

I've eaten horse. It used to be sold as a cheaper alternative to beef. I quite like horse; it's lean and has a nice flavor. Most people seem to want fatty meat, or at least the ranchers say that. I never liked fat and always cut it off. The US Government, in its demented wisdom, decided the proletariat should not consume horse meat. It's not *quite* illegal now, but so difficult and expensive to obtain it might as well be.

Where I live, lamb is not a thing. I saw one in a zoo when I was a kid, but they're not eaten here; at least, you can't buy lamb at a grocery store. You might be able to mail order it frozen. To my knowledge I've never eaten any.

Rabbit certainly shouldn't be greasy. It is a very lean meat.

Which is why chefs cover it in pig fat.

I had "bug cake" recently. It was a cake made with cricket flour garnished with edible insects. The cake itself was very pleasant. The insects - meh. I ate a few out of a sense of duty but they weren't exactly nice. Not unpleasant but really, I wasn't keen. And lets face it, they were insects.

My mum used to stew it in cider with lots of veg. It was lovely, but there were rather a lot of little bones.

At its best jointed, wrapped in streaky bacon and done in the crock pot alongside carrots, onions, celery, a sploosh of red wine and a dollopette of mustard.

Rabbit with prunes and Armagnac, that's the way to do it.

Lamb is the best thng you can put into your mouth. Jersey mids ( little potatoes) mint sauce and plenty of thick dark gravy. Scruptiddlyumptious.

Lamb smells like pee.

 

[Alex321]

Lamb smells like pee.

You have a weird sense of smell, if you find even remotely similar

 

[Gwylan]

Lamb smells like pee.

If you pee smells like lamb I think a trip to the doctor is coming up
Don't go to a vegetarian doctor though

 

[Gillstay]

Rabbit curry mmmmmmm

How do you know that your sense of smell is correct and not mine?

Really? I had some really lovely tasting Haggis last time I was in Edinburgh.

I'm part of a 4/year Malt Whisky group* - each year one of is does Haggis Neeps & Tatties - but one guy hates haggis so does not partake. A couple of year ago, I did Haggies Neeps & Tatties Dauphinoise - even he relented and ate some!

*They have been meeting for 40 years, I'm a 5 year newcomer.

Or I've just been to a knocking shop in Wales

Sorry do take exception to that sort of comment about Wales.
