Thorazine? Ya lost me.
Sorry, I have a strange sense of humor. You signed your post "Rx" (yes, I understood it to be roxanne) which is the abbreviation for prescription. Thorazine is a drug used for treating some mental illnesses. Q.I.D. is "four times a day". Ok, I made me laugh even if nobody else got it 
And . PLEASE, don't think I really meant anything by it. It was just a joke and not an implication of insanity on anybody's part but my own. | |

I sign "Rx" because I'm good for what ails you
Not only that but you have a good comeback ;) Sorry my joke was too esoteric. Thorazine was just the first drug that came to my deranged mine when I was looking for a good way to do express the joke.  I just hope that nobody would take my attempt at humor as anything other than the humor that was intended  | |

I'm sure he was just trying to be funny....LOL.
Back OT:
I've had tongue. I guess it was a cows tongue, but I'm not sure. 
All I remember is felt just like I was biting my own tongue....Ewww. The taste, well I don't remember that part.... probably for the best. | |

Posted: 1/3/2007 11:16:13 AM | | Tongue wasn't all that uncommon back (long long ago) when I was a kid. I can remember eating a few tongue sandwiches and not being bother. It does have a distinct texture though and I can see how many people just wouldn't like it. | |

Posted: 1/4/2007 11:02:54 AM | beaver tails...gross
bear burgers...tasted like pork...
i have heard of people eating what are politely referred to as moose "fries"...i guess it sounds better than moose nuts...the thought of eating the testicles of an animal which is usually hunted during its rutting season kinda makes me wanna yak...(yak=barf...and not the animal kind of yak)
herselftheelf...your comment about eating that guys kids made me literally lol...a cougar will only attack if it feels threatened or if its injured...as with humans...humans are most definitely NOT on a cougars diet...they are actually quite timid and to see one in the wilds is quite rare | |

Posted: 1/7/2007 4:07:44 AM | | I am not all that adventurous when it comes to trying truly strange foods......although I have tried alligator, bison and tongue.....which some of you have had. I am in Korea right now.......Bundegi (boiled silk worm larvae)......haven't tired it because A. of what it is B. what it looks like C. they smell really really bad. Apparently the kids really like them though. Another Korean one is Dog soup. Again haven't tried it. | |

Once trapped the coastal marshed of Louisiana.
Putting in very long days found it convient to comsume a large rat called Nutra.
They weigh around fifteen to twenty pounds, are herbivorous (not scavangers).
Nutra Fricassee with rice and gravy on a cold winter day.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Then I recall that june bug that made it over my motorcycle windshield at 65, vaporized when it hit my teeth.......needed salt and a shot of Tobasco | |

Posted: 1/15/2007 9:12:30 AM | Big Game Hunting Suppers are always interesting. A girlfriend took me to one years ago in Revelstoke. Cougar actually isn't bad.
I still miss the strange foods from home.
Cod Tongues I love.
Seal I love yes Paul I will eat the seals.
Bruise with Molasses.
Fat Back Pork not very good for you but very good.
Beer
Gull
Rabbit
I once shot a bird in the NWT and I did eat it I have no idea what kind of bird it was. They called it a wild chicken but it really didn't look like a chicken.
This thread reminds me of Dennis Leary no cure for cancer. We love to save the animals. What are you? I am a seal I do tricks with my flippers. Your free to go. What are you? I am a cow. Your a baseball glove, your a leather jacket. Get on the bus with your cousin. | |

Posted: 1/18/2007 10:35:40 AM | My brother did his college work placement in Louisiana and brought back alligator with him for us to try, it was YUMMY!
Other weird stuff? Hmmmm bear (ick, i don't know if it was old or not but it tasted like a wet dog smells), halibut cheeks (I'm from the west coast of Canada), and regular stuff like lobster, oysters (2, I've only had 2, ew, like a big mouthful of phlegm), sushi, duck (delicious with plum sauce and pancakes-UK Chinese food). I wanted to try frog's legs when I was in Paris, but I couldn't find anywhere that served them. | |

Posted: 1/23/2007 9:10:40 AM | I recently had buffalo while traveling. It was the most tenderest red meat I have ever had. Delicious!
Wild Goose -- Suprised me by being kind of beef like.
Smoked Octopus -- Fantastic
Squid -- Awesome
Squirrel -- Not the greatest, but I think my dog enjoyed the meal more than I did because as I butchered the squirrel and threw the guts, head, and sex organs out the woodshed door I heard my dog making some funny noises. Nothing is worse than later that night to realize he had SQUIRREL NUT BREATHE!

Posted: 1/23/2007 9:39:09 AM | When I was young, I tried:
Rabbit - yummy... his name was fluffy... we had raised him on the farm!
Grouse - bbq over a fire... we got lost hiking and we were hungry.... SOOOO TASTY!
I always make a point of trying new foods, just to impress upon my son (who is now 9 years old) that you should try new things... together, we've eaten:
Kangaroo - very tasty, but a bit expensive! lol
Elk and Bison - very yummy
Deep fried chicken feet - a bit too many ligaments for my liking, but he ate them again!
Frog's legs - very yummy... way better than chicken wings!
Alligator sausages - same place as the frog's legs... again.... very yummy
Emu - not bad!
Ostrich eggs - just like chicken, just make sure you have a lot of people to help eat it!
I drew the line at the fish eye-balls.... and I almost puked when I watched him eat it!! GROSS!!! He wants to try the pigs blood now too.... gawd, I've created a monster!!

Posted: 8/28/2008 1:01:45 PM | I’m no Andy Zimmern, but I’ve tried to think outside the box while traveling.
Thailand- Fried Grasshoppers. Pretty good. Heavily seasoned and crunchy. Like chips.
Denmark- Wild boar. Wonderful. Roasted with béarnaise and pommes frites.
Italy- Rabbit in tomato sauce over pasta. Wonderful.
France- Frogs legs and escargots. Can’t get enough.
Nawleans- Alligator tail in hot sauce. More substantial than chicken, lighter than beef, but good eats.
Oh, and fried frogs legs. Different from the French, but still good.
Denver- Rocky Mountain Prairie oysters. In marinara. Like a gamy meatball. OK. Not great.
Hawaii- Squid poke. Cooked tentacles with shoyu, sea salt and limu, (algae,)- Tasty with beer. Chewy.
Then there is the whole Swedish Christmas dinner deal. (Mom’s parents were FOB’s from Stockholm.)
Hej pa dej, muchachos.
Limpa- Swedish Christmas rye bread with cardamom. Wonderful.
Sylta- Literally headcheese. Nowadays made with veal and pork shoulder, boiled and jellied with spices, and molded like a pate. Unbelievably good.
Korv= white sausage. Slight organ flavor, but good with hot mustard.
Lingonberries- Swedish cranberries. More tart that cranberries, but excellent.
Don’t get me started on barnyard cheese, lutefisk, reindeer, or the dozens of styles of herring.
Even rotten herring!
Shudder! | |

Posted: 8/28/2008 5:08:30 PM | Horse meat - Bresaola made from horse meat. Bresaola is sort of like prosciutto but made from the shoulder, rather than the ham. It's a cured meat. I wasn't crazy about it, it tasted a little fishy but I'd eat it again it it was offered to me.
Gusanos - fried catepillars, in Mexico. Just tasted like fried crunchy stuff but it looks too much like a catepillar
Huitlacoche - corn smut. Had it in soup in Mexico. It's a fungus, like a mild mushroom. Okay. No big deal.
Chicken feet - deep fried. In a Chinese restaurant. Crunchy, fatty, not much to it.
Ostrich - tasted like beef. Had it in a pot pie. Very good. | |

Posted: 8/28/2008 6:43:10 PM | in kenya, i tried zebra, giraffe, ostrich (all tasted like beef), springbuck or impala (like venison), wildebeest (gamier venison), crocodile (like chicken), maybe some others i don't recall. these were farm-raised animals, not poached, but i understand game meats can no longer be served in kenya, save croc. i'd eat them all again...just because it's been so long.
rattlesnake. tastes like chicken.
chocolate-covered ants. crunchy, but anything covered in chocolate can't be bad!!!
some people have mentioned things i find normal, as opposed to strange/exotic, such as rabbit, frog's legs, venison, and lingonberries (in fact, one of my fave dishes ever, at a french restaurant that passed by the wayside, was venison with lingonberry sauce. major yummy!)
i know it's not an unusual thing, but the worst thing i ever tried (ok, maybe not "ever", but close...) was blood sausage. it made me gag, it was so nasty!!
i recently got an email about the food available in beijing at the olympics. it featured items like scorpion, crickets, snakes, dog, dog brains, etc., etc. if i were there, i'd try some. | |

Posted: 8/29/2008 9:58:59 AM | When I was little, my friend's grandmother (from the Ukraine, by way of Canada) made an old-country dish that I loved. Have no idea what was in it, but my friend called it something that sounded like "pet-a-hare." (Rabbit, perhaps?) Our parents ate at the big table; we kids sat at the little table. "We're going across the hall for pet-a-hare!"  | |

Posted: 8/29/2008 10:05:25 AM | In the islands, flying fruit bat was presented to me and I ate it but really could not get over the fact that I was eating a bat. It had a most unpleasant aftertaste.
In new Zealand there is a bird called muttonbird that lives in the ocean. Chicken texture with fish flavor.
I cant say I liked either one... | |
