How Adventurous are your taste buds?

Spotted on my supermarket shelf this week - could you put Zebra or Crocodile in your mouth?

[tod2]

It looks like I am going to need some guidance on how to put the photos up! I did what the 'Wizard' said but don't think it worked - help!

[Wizard]

Tod2, it appears that you did not upload your photo to a photo hosting site before putting the image tags around it.

You can upload your photo to www.imageshack.com without even registering, then you copy the direct link that is provided. Click the little image box here (second icon that looks like a framed picture) and then paste the code from ImageShack between the brackets.

(I removed your incorrect code above which showed where you had stored your photo.)

[tod2]

Thanks, I will try again.

Here goes: From Kodak Gallery

[tod2]

Can't figure it out - sorry

I guess I'm going to have to call in Bixa to give you a spanking. She is much scarier than Wizard and you will have to learn what to do to avoid her wrath.

That is so mean . Anyone will tell you that I am the very soul of patience and kindness when it comes to helping someone with posting pictures.

The problem is not you, Tod2, it's something to do with Kodak Galleries. I deleted my Kodak account because I found it so unusable. Do you have the photo saved in your computer? If so, you can host it as Wizard suggests in Reply #2 here.

Sorry!

Have eaten Alligator, chocolate ants(ugh), escargot, and various sushi. I probably would try most anything, once!

[hwinpp]

I'll try almost everything once as well.

Had a hard time with the fertilised duck eggs here and still only eat them on invitation.

In Siem Reap there's a restaurant group in the Pub Street area belonging to a French guy. They're called Banana Leaf, a bar cum cafe, Champey, a fine dining restaurant, one I've forgotten and the Angkor BBQ. One of their dishes is made up entirely of kangaroo, crocodile, snake, frog and ostrich meat. It's always full even though some younger people might think they're daring meats. After getting BBQ'd they look just like chicken, pork or beef

Bixa - I'm not so sure about the Kodak Gallery thing. It took me seconds to post it on the Fodorite Lounge. I think it is me. I just don't get it here. I have done (obviously NOT!) everything step by step. Imageshack won't accept the URL.

Tod, I don't want to get this thread off track, but will research the Kodak thing & answer it in the Picture Posting Workshop.

Except for shellfish, I've never put anything live into my mouth -- just prefer my food not wriggling. Also, I only eat the teeny grasshoppers here, although many people say the big ones are tastier. I know it's a cultural hangup on my part, but I can't get past it. I know I wouldn't be able to do the spiders HW talks about.

Other than that, I'd probably try any meat except human and dog (which I consider human). Okay, probably not monkey meat, either.

I am not at all attracted to the idea of hundred-year eggs, but I guess I would at least taste them.

"I am not at all attracted to the idea of hundred-year eggs, but I guess I would at least taste them."

I've had them, and they're not cracked up to what you might expect. The smell can be ammoniacal, and the taste of the soft, green yolks is like fishy avocado paste. The brown "whites" is quite boring.

[hwinpp]

Agree with DC all the way. Had a salad of it a couple of nights ago, pic on the '... dinner' thread. If I could I'd just inhale the yolks

An idea that's not all that strange. I once had a salt egg yolk salad. Because out of fun I told my hosts I preferred egg yolks to egg whites.

[tod2]

Great photos Kerouac - Yes, I'm jealous because I can't do that!Ha Ha! Not giving up - just gathering up strength for another onslaught at the computer!

Bixa - looks like you may be right after all about Kodak Gallery. No-one seems to access the photos on Fodorite Lounge either!

When my son was in China last year his travelling/business mate
ate a fertised duck egg at dinner one night. This means he actually ate the baby duck - feathers and all - he left the beak! My son says he could hardly look..........

I'm not very adventurous about food. I had guinea pig in Ecuador -- salty and really not much on there once you lift off the skin, which is cooked with the fur sort of singed off. At least they didn't serve it with the little paws sticking out -- only a quarter of the animal. But it's a common dish there -- called cuy.

I also had some llama meat -- it was pretty good. A bit like lamb meat.

I ate zebra in Kenya, but it was no big deal. You couldn't tell that it wasn't beef or pork.

[Jazz]

Once I ate some ostrich. It was rich, dark, moist and tender but tasted much more like meat than fowl to me.

[Deleted]

I bought some ostrich steaks in France once -- domestic ostrich, because there are ostrich farms in France. It was sort of like duck but too dry. I won't buy it again. (It's one of those meats for people who abhor any sort of fat -- and I crave fat on meat.)

[hwinpp]

Cambodia's top snack, pong thier khon, egg duck baby!
Here we are tucking in!
The truth is that I have great difficulty eating more than the what's left of the egg yolk.

[bixaorellana]

If this were a contest, HW would have won long since.

[spindrift]

I used to eat anything but now I'm more sensitive to sentient beings suffering when being slaughtered and so I can't bear to look at or buy gross meat items and certainly couldn't cook them at present. Maybe I'll change but I doubt it.

If civilization starts to collapse, I wonder who will be the first among us to start hunting the pigeons and rats roaming the streets.
