Is there anything you've never eaten but want to try?

[slabbit]

I would try anything but cant bring myself to eat liver,don,t like the look texture or smell yuuuuk...
I have tried horse very nice, and squirrel (we call it flightless partridge) nice too
very fond of rabbit, love seafood of all kinds, and would like to try ostrich

I've eaten most Western food stuffs - and I like to think I'll give anything a go once.

I'm not sure I'd be keen to accept an invite to a barbecue at Bear Grylls house, or that I'd eat many of the things shown on I'm a Slebrity, but I've yet to see anything on a menu that repulses me.

At the risk of upsetting a number of people - I quite fancy trying horse.

get yourself of to sardinia the have specialist butchers who only deal with the preparation of horsemeat.
you shouldn't feel like its a friend because they are grown for the trade there not knackered cart horse's.
we had ours bbq style just a little sweeter than beef.
should have seen the teacher's face when asked what he had on his bbq on holiday he just said pork steaks and a big chunk of horse.
she seemed horrified but what do you do when it's available locally you have to try it.
as a chef/caterer you can't turn down those chances all the time, and anything we eat is always available for my children to try.

My OH is Belgian. They eat horse meat occasionally and I had pard met frites (horse steak and chips). Very tender very delicate tasting - would defo eat again! Bit hypocritical to only eat the animals that aren't cute/friendly. End of the day it's just a cow that you can ride! I wouldn't eat a carnivorous animal though, I've read that toxins build up in the flesh of carnivores.

Oysters - can't think how I'd eat them without retching but I'm willing to try.
Whale - don't know why but I'd like to try it.

One of those roasts where you wrap a swan round a turkey, round a goose, round a chicken, round a buzzard, round a duck, round a pigeon, round a canary. Though maybe that's not exactly right.

Quite right, raging hypocrisy! Still not eating horse

Mr Sheds ate guinea pig in Peru.

He says it tasted like gerbil

I've eaten horse meat. Very nice too, if prepared the same way as beef (we had a nice roast). A neighbour bred Shetland ponies, and any colts not good enough to sell for breeding or riding (average of one or 2 a year) were reared to 3 years and went into the freezer (or sometimes the freezer of a friend or neighbour).
They had a good life, were never treated as pets, and they never got ill-treated because they had been sold cheap!
Too many cheap horses and ponies, bred accidentally or carelessly, never have a decent life, and end up as petfood.

[stupot]

What's does Mr Sheds say that gerbil taste like? I'd guess like a cross between hamster and rat?

[burnie]

Cat and Dog are not very nice and NO I didn't know what I was eating at the time,it all came out in the court case after my local Indian restuarant was raided by trading standards,we just thought it was cheap meat rather than the usual cuts.
This was in the 1960's so I guess things may have changed now!!

A friend of mine wouldn't eat the venison my OH bought off my brother, though he tried to persuade her it had a better life than most of the meat she buys from the supermarket. She confessed to liking horse, she ate it without knowing when in France. I can't bring myself to try other types of offal, I hate liver, kidney and heart, and couldn't 'stomach' trying tripe. And sweetbreads

[allotmentlady]

TRIPE! i could not eat tripe.........i may talk a lot of it but couldnt eat it :-)

Tried it once, never again.

I tried Shark's fin soup in Hong Kong without realising, was horrible. And also Pigeon in Morrocco, tasted quite like Rabbit & suprisingly nice.

[Madasafish]

Bull's testicles are nice if cooked slowly.

Roast snake is quite tasty..but Karoo lamb takes some beating...

[stupot]

I like eating pigeon..hmmm and rabbit. I have friend who guards a private estate and I get rabbits off him when they have a cull.
