To dine for
Inspired by this article, I was wondering how many people out there have tried ‘weird’ food? And I don’t mean sushi or rabbit, I mean things like deep-fried haggis (tried it - Scotland) or chili flavoured ice cream (tried it - Scotland). Below is a list of some of the other unusual things I’ve had and where I tasted them:
· Deep fried Mars bars – Scotland
· Horse meat – France & Italy
· Pigeon – Egypt
· Giraffe – Namibia
· Blesbok - Namibia
· Crocodile – Australia
· Kangaroo – Australia
· Emu – Australia
· Sheep (various bits incl brains, eyes, heart, liver) – South Africa
· Oxtail and bull’s balls – South Africa
· Karoo Oysters (grilled sheep’s liver wrapped in kidney fat) – South Africa
· Black pudding (pig’s blood) – UK
Have you tried anything weird? Leave a note in the comments section.

I used to snack on dried Mopani worms occasionally. When I still ate meaty things.
Biltong must be there or there abouts, surely.
Dried raw ostrich meat?
Yes, it's lovely stuff, but the idea does seem a bit odd at first.
Kyk: I forgot about the Mopani worms. We used to snack on those when we were kids!
6000: OK, so we can add dried ostrich, dried kudu, dried springbok and dried fish.
The weird things I've tasted mostly run to the alcoholic drink -variety. Haraki in Crete, best taken with a sideplate of prickly pears is way up there.
Chocolate chili ice cream is divine! I remember really enjoying black pudding till I got told what it was and I promptly stopped eating it. Besides the list of Aussie meats you have there I really think black pudding is the weirdest I've been.
