I had rattlesnake once. Tasted like chicken. Also caught and slaughtered some bullfrogs and roasted their legs over a campfire. Didn't know you were supposed to skin them. The skin was horrible, but the muscle tasted like chicken.

I had tough alligator before, but I also had wonderfully tender blackened gator in Baton Rouge. Papadeux serves some pretty good fried gator.Markstrink wrote:When I had alligator it was tough.

Dim Sum. Next time we do this your wife should go ahead and order from the menu - while it's fun to share a bunch of dishes, it's more fun if everyone finds something they enjoy.Chaosraven wrote:We went with redrun and friends to a restaurant for one of those "some of everything" carts being wheeled around, with the spinning centerpiece of the table.
My poor wife, who is pretty finicky, was willing to try a little bit of many things that looked a bit like something else she likes, only to have everything turn out to be something else.
Sufficient I am to the day.

Oh, if we're adding drinks in, I REALLY wanna try pulque.
It doesn't travel well so you have to visit Mexico to drink it. The men stand around and stinkeye each other and drink out of two-liter glasses and sing and shout while the women have to sit in a separate room.
Fun time!

Generally caviar is from sturgeon or salmon only. Purests cling to sturgeon only, I think, and the purest of the pure say only sturgeon from the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.
Smelt roe is not caviar, it's just roe.

I've had caviar, I'm assuming it was Salmon but it could have been from Lake Michigan whitefish. It was alright and I'd eat it again but nothing I'm going to go out of my way for.LawBeefaroni wrote:A bunch of Russians prepared for war.Markstrink wrote:I have had like three kinds.

Some of those mushrooms Krauts cook outside during Octoberfest, some paella in Spain, anything I haven't tried in Thailand except the Durian(as long as civilized toilets w/TP are nearby), conch in Key West, the Tilapia in my pond.

I was able to try a horse steak as well as whale this summer in Iceland. I liked it, but not as much as a quality rib-eye from a cow.Z-Corn wrote:I want to try horse meat...

I almost bought some once from the grocery store when I was in Saint-Sauveur, Quebec but I didn't have any way to cook it in my hotel room.

Re: Food, "bucket list".
I've been told that Gros Michel bananas were much better-tasting than the Cavendish bananas that replaced them after the Panama disease outbreak in the 1950s.
So I'd be curious to try a Gros Michel banana split to find out exactly how it compares to what we're used to nowadays.
