You guys should look into signing up for an American television show called Fear Factor. They have the contestants eat stuff like bugs, brains, testacles, uterus, spoiled eggs, cow tungue, eyeballs, etc.

My sick-o step-brother-in-law actually threw some slugs in blender and slapped it on some bread for a slug sandwich - which he ate for the top prize in a local radio contest "What would YOU eat for $5000.00"? He won. He also puked the sandwich up right afterward. Drek! (*in an Emily Latilla voice* 'What is the MATTER with these people? Don't they know that...)

I've tasted goat when a friend tricked me into eating it. And blood stew (pig's blood) as well.

I used to raise goats and I had a bunny. I could never eat those, either. Just like the frog legs... But at least I TRIED the frog legs!

Pig's blood is high in protein but high in cholesterol as well.

I was enjoing dinner at a Korean BBQ in Seoul when I asked "So what kind of meat is this anyway" The other service engineer(Korean) replied "I think it's dog"
When I asked what kind of dog he said "brown dog"
I've also had black pudding when I was in Ireland...bleeech

As Guybrush Threepwood in our hood we have bunch of sorts of sausages made of all crazy stuff, nevertheless tasty (yes, blood ones too)… I must say that I don’t like crazy exotics, but I’ve eaten cow’s brains (or it was a pig I don’t remember), when I was kid (it wasn’t free will), yes tongues too :)...

Here in the US we strictly limit the amount of rat feces, etc. we ingest with our food. Other countries have just lost count.

Hmm...what you are talking about I never heard many of them in Bangladesh
Besides as a Muslim we can't eat these:
1. Pig
2. Blood
3. Carnivorous animals
4. Almost all reptiles and insects
5. The bodies of dead animals
6. Halal animals which are not slaughtered according to the Islamic Law.
7. Wine, Ethyl Alcohol, and Spirits.

Moni,
You can't eat (2.) blood, or (5.) the bodies of dead animals? That's called vegetarianism. More power to you.
I celebrated 20 years of alcoholic abstinence (one beer - 20 years) last week.

Really? More people should do that.. :)
Moni, have you ever heard of people who can't eat anything that grows in the ground? A friend of mine once told me he knew some people like that, it had something to do with their religion/philosophy :)

I've eaten chickens feet, and goat brain. I don't think I'll ever eat either regularly, but neither were as bad as I would have expected

Have you eaten any of those weird stuffs? When I was young, I heard my grandma talking about how cockroaches could be cooked.
I eat a lot of "disgusting" food you've listed above, including tongue of a pig, organs of animals (everything inside a pig, a cow and a chicken), deep fried baby pigeon, chicken legs, a bird's head, a fish's head, blood (usually pig's blood), frogs and snakes. My brother once swollowed an uncooked gall bladder of a snake. I also eat raw oysters and sashimi (Japanese food, mainly uncooked seafood). I really find sushi with a big piece of wasabi inside disgusting. I usually lose courage eating sushi with big piece of wasabi inside.

If you have a chance eating in a Chinese restaurant, I would recommend you to try chicken leg. There are severals ways cooking chicken leg in Chinese restaruants. Chicken leg is one of my favourite dim-sums.

My grandmother was from England, so steak and kidney pie was a treat.
I love liver with bacon and onions! I have converted a lot of people who swore they would never eat liver.

Yes, they are very very good. Don't let the look fool you, is very good Dim Sun(Cantonese word for "Morning Snacks" or "Breakfast.")
Chinese don't cook weird stuff, you just never seen them before, but when you taste them, is very good... Trust our civilization, 5000 years of history, much longer than most other modern countrys.
BTW, try "Xiao Long Bao"(Little Dumpling looking with pork Meat) while you are at a Chinese restaurant too(Not a buffett, I'm talking about a real restaurant.)

Yeah, Cantonese like Yum Cha (Yum Cha means drink tea). They usually Yum Cha in the morning, meaning going to a restuarant to have dim sum and drink tea.
Well, try as many "dim sum" as you can when you go to a Chinese restaurant! They all taste good.
YUMMMMMMM, I like Xiao Long Bao, expecially the one with soap inside!
By the way, Prudens, have you been to China ?
