    OK, well I might have everyone beat here!

    Dog – tastes like pork, just don’t think about it
    Snake – like chicken
    Eagle – quite a strong taste
    Laeve, bees and a selection of other insects and bugs, usually deep fried – mushy but tasty
    Scorpion – very crunchy and not too bad when deep fried
    Ducks Tongues – disgusting [xx(]

    This is what happens when you work in China!

    Cheers

    Hi,

    When I was in Beijing on my acupuncture study trip, I was given black heart soup. Don’t ask me what it was made from, but I tried it, thinking it was soy that made it that colour, and after 1 spoonful, I refused to eat any more and my fellow Chinese student said “Black heart soup…very good for phlegm, you don’t want more?” I gave him my bowl. After that, I went to the local Friendship store and bought lot’s a noodles, just and boiling water (kettle) and ate that for about 2 weeks.

    I loved my trip to Beijing, especially our special celebratory lunch at the Summer Palace (reserved for VIP’s) that was delicious.

    Now when I want something different to try, I go to Springvale shopping strip.

    (oh… I’ve eaten sheep’s pancreas too)
    Mainly ovo-lacto vegetarian now, but not strict.

    Cheerio

    Not being an aussie,

    Kangaroo prepared properly is pretty Farkn fantastic!

    (looking at the roadkill – you just sigh – and go go figure.)

    a natural pest here is being wasted. (let alone hitting one on a motorcycle – new dread since relocating)

    NZ has possums as roadkill – and they have no appeal for me at all. (at least they hopefully wont kill me if i hit them when out on the road!

    NB: cant wait to go to asia again, and try all the crazy bugs/animals that everyone goes ‘yuck'(because of their culture) …. live once – whatever kills you – you wont know anyway.

    Hi Guys

    I agree with Craig that roadkills have no appeal especially when a big fully laden logging truck has run over it.

    Now what I do like is vanilla ice-cream, yoghurt and small pineapple pieces.

    Regards

    I had squid that was still alive (the body was sliced but the head was still wiggling) in japan.

    it was a great honour apparently so we had to try some.
    I didn’t like it. it was gross. though i love sushi, i loathe raw squid (wonder why??!)

    though i’ve never eaten it, I have a recipe for possum stew including the trapping and skinning part. If anyone wants it! Pretty wild!! (note o animal lovers, Unlike Aussie where they are protected in NZ possums were an introduced species with no natural enemy and they have spread to being a complete pest now that eats the delicate native seedlings not to mention kiwi eggs, etc

    What a thread …….LOL

    I ate some things I didn’t even know what they were when spending time living with the aborigine’s. A couple I remember were echidna and crocodile, the crocodile made me quite ill, but the echidna was like a cross of lamb and chicken.

    Hi again,

    I forgot to tell you what my dad likes to eat…
    how about a sweetmilk (condensed milk) with peanut butter and sardines sandwich. I’ll never forget when I ended up with his lunch in my lunchbox by accident. I was sick for a week.

    Cheers
