If you don’t want to try snails, I can’t imagine you’d want a geoduck, either. . .
Brain sandwiches–I’ve seriously considered it in the past, as there were at least a few places around here where they could be found, but. . .no, I don’t think I would. Maybe if I was reeeeaaaaalllly drunk.
I’ve done tongue, I’ve done head cheese (really, don’t ever eat that), and I keep talking about how I’m going to try a local restaurant’s scrambled pig’s brains.
Durian - I don’t care how good it tastes, if it stinks that badly, I’m not putting it in my mouth.
Balut - fermented, smothered fertilized eggs… Why does this not sound good to me?
The problem I have is that I love cheese, and if I’m going to be honest about - one could make an accurate description of cheese that would turn the stomach of any one. So, I have to admit that it’s possible I might want to try things like haggis, or sea cucumber. Even if the idea of them, now, bothers me.
Most people would really like frog logs prepared correctly. They are truly good. Most would probably like escargot as well. I am having a hard time with this question. The only thing I would never eat again is armadillo on the half-shell with a possible side of leprosy (did that one in survival camp). I would scoff at some live snakes and some ripe road kill.
I would never eat dog, and I once offended my host in a Chinese village by refusing. Dogs are our friends, dammit! (and yes, I know that the dogs bred for eating are very different than the ones they breed for pets, but still, I wouldn’t eat, say, human eunuchs…)
Escargot is yummy and surprisingly non-offensive. Head cheese is pretty much just another deli meat to me (but we grew up with it). Frog legs? Tastes like chicken.
I don’t think there’s anything I wouldn’t try at least once. Well, maybe placenta…
I would probably not eat dog, but I would be tempted. The only thing, and I really mean the only thing I wouldn’t eat would be milk (which I did have as a child) and blood products. I will skip the bodily fluids, thanks. So no blood pudding or other congealed products.
I s’pose if I got hungry enough, I’d eat almost anything. But, in any likely situation, I think I’d have to pass on insects. Grasshoppers might taste great, and I’m told that lots of people eat them regularly, but none for me, thanks. Various larvae are also apparently enjoyed by many people. I will never be one of them.
