Raw beef is one of my favorites but I won't have that except in a very fine restaurant. Been to a few places in Italy that the appetizer was simply raw ground beef with olive oil and black pepper on top. Yum. Ground beef is risky, cut steak is much safer.

Growing up in souther AZ, rattlesnake on the plate was not uncommon. Even had a few salads with baby green tumble weeds.

Dad and I made dandelion wine once, that was just OK.

Haven't had dog or cat (that I know of). I think I'd like to try one of those stinky Asian fruits...can't remember the name at the moment. It's the one that smells like trash...I'm curious if it's as bad as folks say it is.

My least favorite thing I have tried is sea urchin. Yuck.

H-Mart on Parker Rd has Durian. Report back!

Yeah, sea urchin is awful.

Some Chinese friends took us for Dim Sum at Star Kitchen, we loved it and would like to go back again when we get over that way. We later had Dim Sum in Seattle and San Fran that was not as good. I wasn't crazy about the chicken feet though. It can be confusing doing Dim Sum without knowing the language and the dishes.

My friends have moved to D.C. but they mentioned there is a pretty good Dim Sum place around Broomfield.

We're pretty adventurous eaters and like most everything. I could eat sashimi and sushi every day.

We recently prepared Elk Carpaccio Salad, adapted from a recipe in a recent issue of Bugle magazine. Starting with thin slices of partially frozen raw elk sirloin, several drops of truffle oil, and shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on toasted bread, it is topped with microgreens, steamed asparagus shoots and finished with a lemon olive oil dressing with fine shallots, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Simple and delicious.

^^^^Those shrimp chips with the chicken leg?

This thread is delicious

I had boiled monkey once.... taste like chicken. And we were probably served some dog in a village next to the maroni river... he was a good dog.

The best part of those pictures is not only are you traveling abroad, but you still managed to keep a full battery.

I'd be curious to try people meat once.

As long as the person was healthy and fit. Maybe someone who does yoga or pilates or crossfit.

Not some fat kid who just plays video games all day.
