hannahkiki 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Was looking through the Everything about SG thread when I got the idea for this. What are some of the food that you have at where you live that YOU eat but you think someone else on the site living in another country wouldn't? First up, there's shark fin! It's a delicacy which is served at almost every wedding dinner. And there's durian, a fruit, which is smelly to many people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo_Sieg 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Hey, we have the world famous BALUT/BALOT. The unborn duck-fetus, in all its soupy-liquid, feathered, mini duck-billed glory! Anyone tried that out yet? (except as a dare in Fear Factor or something...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnks 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Ewwww sieg... saw people eating the half formed chick in the eggshell thingy before. Things that other people won't eat? animal innards? but people eat foie gras? does drinking Newater count? It's sort of like drinking your own pee..

hannahkiki 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Q, if you put it that way, maybe Newater counts. LOL. There's century egg! Duck eggs soaked in horse urine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it comes in 2 flavors, Chicken or Pork intestines! Who wants some? I'll treat you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F.A.I.T.H 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Has anyone here eaten Haggis? I've heard it's something to do with sheep's innards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Haggis is ok. Its sheep meat, stuffed into the sheep's stomach and cooked in its stomach. anyone had Aligator tail? Its awsome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asahi 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 dog is considered quite a delicacy in mainland china. imo, haggis sounds really bad , not as bad as fried cockroaches. btw, kangaroo is awesome, its a bit like beef *thumbs up* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neogmkuma 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hello everybody! Has anybody tried here to eat bull fried bull *ehem* "manhood? How about charbroilled congealed pig blood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo_Sieg 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I've tried the barbecued pig blood. Yep, BARBECUED BLOCKS of PIG BLOOD! Hehe... (we're half-vampires, I tell you, hehe...) but it just wasn't my taste... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant 96 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 We have pigs blood here as well. In cubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnks 0 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 They stopped selling that in pig organ's soup years ago.. love that one, where can you find the cubed ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant 96 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I'm not sure where you can find them but I have tried them before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F.A.I.T.H 0 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Pig's blood in cubes? Tried them quite a few years back. It was alright, but then again, I have weird taste buds... Snake's blood, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguardian 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 ...Yeah, I definitely wouldn't want to eat any of the stuff mentioned so far. Where I live we get foods from all sorts of cultures, but I don't eat anything 'exotic' myself...Does SPAM count? I think where I live is pretty much the SPAM epicenter of the world. You can get SPAM musabi at movie theaters and even a SPAM breakfast at McDonald's! (I wonder if I just gave away too much regarding where I live? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exvind 0 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Now, I hate to top off all that you said, but in some Asian cultures, a very popular dish is slightly cooked walrus...erm...manhood. I had been watching a special about odd foods, and found that this "log" was served with two "rolls". Personally, I did not eat for a week after the fact.

Valiant 96 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I tried goose tongue recently. Pretty tasty if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannahkiki 0 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 No snake blood, but I ate a part of a snake yesterday, it was in a soup. It tastes like chicken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
