What is the weirdest thing you ever ate? I can eat almost everything as my big frame can attest, but there are limits to even my gluttony. I realize that foods that one eats and enjoys are culture based and the love of sushi, kimchi, and a rare steak are cultivated based on where you were raised, but some things are just plain disgusting (at least to my plebian brain).
Here are my choices for the 10 Weirdest Things That People Eat:
Squid Ink Flavored Ice Cream
"Squid Ink Ice Cream -- If the idea of Squid Gut ice cream seems unpalatable, perhaps this Squid Ink flavor is more of a tentacled taste-bud tantalizer." See it here.
Purple Honey Flavored Sausages
"Purplo's, The Honey Cocktail Sausage Made from beef and mutton which is mildly flavoured with spices and added honey, filled into a narrow 22mm Purple casing and cooked. To be served piping hot." See it here.
Musk Flavored Life Savers
Chocolate Covered Cockroaches
"We don’t know about you, but the first thing we think when we catch a cockroach skittering across a kitchen floor? CHOCOLATE. In fact, there’s no grub worm, slug, or grasshopper we wouldn’t like to see smothered in the gooey good stuff. Now there’s some good-eatin’. How about you?" See it here!.
Crushed Pearls in Lollipop
"Made from, raw cane sugar, wild Madagascan vanilla essence, and ground natural pearls. Pearl is said to be an aphrodisiac so why not spice up your love live or give it to someone as a subtle hint."See it here.
Weasel Coffee Beans
"Made from coffee beans that are regurgitated by weasels. The beans are then harvested (picked up) to make this fine flavoured coffee."See it here.
King Snake Soaked Whiskey
"Real Californian King Snake whiskey is infused with a farm real farm raised Real Californian King snake, ginseng roots and seed pods. The whiskey is left for several months, which then imparts a unique flavour into the whiskey, it is quite an acquired taste. The story is that this is used in SE Asia as a very strong Aphrodisiac; and it also has many medical uses..." See it here. Also Scorpion and Snake wine.
Weavers Preserved Ant Eggs"Weaver Ants eggs a highly prized delicacy in Thailand. Weaver ants produce their eggs only once a year during the cooler months December to January, during this time, the time consuming, and sometimes painful task, of collecting the eggs take place, they are then wrapped in bannana leaves and sold on local markets. These eggs are huge! Some pieces are egg-shaped; others are almost shaped like ants, they have a soft and jelly like texture. The eggs have a creamy and nutty flavour and are commonly served in spicy salads; they can also be served on toast and even taste great served on tortilla chips. Our bottles of preserved weaver ants eggs contain over 200 eggs, they need to be cooked before serving." See it here.
Roasted Larvlets
"Yes, worms for your snacking enjoyment in three mouth-watering flavors: BBQ, Cheddar Cheese. and Mexican Spice. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and dirt, experience the amazing taste sensation of roasted larvae.... just kidding about the dirt.... these are very clean larvae, except of the sprinkling of spices..."See it here.
Red Curry Gian Water Bugs
"These large and powerful insects are as adept at swimming as they are at flying. Eaten as a delicacy and found in Thai and Chinese markets, these insects bear the nickname toe-biters and are capable of inflicting a painful stab with their sharpened front beak. These bugs feed on other aquatic insects, tadpoles and even small fish, injecting them with a powerful toxin and digestive juice that allows the bug to suck up the contents at will. They are also known for their snorkel-like breathing tubes at the end of their abdomen. Eating instructions; Remove exoskeleton and then eat everything except the head and legs, try dipping them in your favourite sauce and enjoy!" See it here.
Ok, to be honest, I have not tried any of these items but just the idea of them makes me want to puke. Do you agree? What is the weirdest thing you ever ate? What is something you've been offered but refused to try?

Are you shitting me?
Submitted on September 6th, 2006 by asdf (not verified)What's wrong with musk lifesavers? They've been like my favourite flavour my whole life. Maybe it is really just an Aussie thing, but I still don't see why you americans think of them as gross....
I mean, seriously, if you tried them you would like them - they're just sweet lollies. We have a few types of musk flavoured lollies here in fact.
And the sausages? The only thing wrong with them is the purple appearance...
Smoked Moth Chrysalis - Durian
Submitted on September 8th, 2006 by Anonymous (not verified)The MOST FOUL thing I ever put in my mouth was Smoked Moth Chrysalis -- large, slimey, moth chrysalises with the disgusting flavor of artifical smoke. Recall Tom Hanks in "Big" when he ate the caviar? That was me, trying to eradicate that foul flavor from my tongue. The texture was like solidified pus. Why did I do it? I am one of seven children and an amateur entomologist. That made me both fascinated by the concept of bugs as food and willing to take a double-dog dare. Second most foul food was Durian, named King of Fruit by Indonesians. It smelled like hell and tasted like rotting onions. Those Indonesians must be hard up for sweets.

oriental 'foods'
Submitted on February 10th, 2007 by djlactin (not verified)I've been in China and S Korea for a while. Had to at least TRY a few things:
China:
sheep lung
hatched eggs (steamed live the day before hatching, served on a stick) tastes like .... chicken and the feathers aren't dried yet.
dog (accidentally)
cat (ordered rabbit soup but when i reassembled the head...)
roast nestling crow (i think). bite-sized and tasty; only problem was when the head ruptured between my molars.
korea: bondegi a.k.a silkworm pupae. one only. like creamed corn in a small bag, with a nasty aftertaste.
haven't been able to try pig intensines
or ddong-duedji (pig, fed entirely on human feces.) yuck factor there.
in the interest of cultural humility, here are some things that i eat regularly that orientals think are RE volting.
bleu cheese
dill pickles
avocado-and-cream cheese sandwiches on pumpernickel
sour cream
sauerkraut (my home-made fermented stuff, judged "arien")
it's all cultural differences
