I caught a glimpse of this delectable meal on BoingBoing. I couldn’t resist the urge to share in order to poll our readers, what’s the weirdest / strangest dish that you have ever eaten? The above clip is a video recording of a fresh serving of live octopus tentacles. Mmm mmm good! Right?
So gross.
i prefer stiff dead sliced animal
Wooww… And I thought it was pretty weird to taste a bowl of Guandu (a soup made of something like beans, pork meat and some plant the locals call yuca) last year in Colombia… I must apologize to them now….
You know, more than all this “Oh it’s so gross!”-thing I wonder how painful it must be for an innocent animal to die like this. That most people don’t even think about that, is what makes me sad.
@ tice
shut up…. i really dont give a shit how a octopus feels… its lower in the food chain then me… that means.. no matter what.. if it came to it living or me… its fucking dead and im eating it regardless of it feelings…
if you pull a religious thing… its called the circle of life… even in the bilble we are talked about eating animals
if you pull an aminals rights thing…. animals eat animals … honestly.. if were not suposta eat cows… what are they here to keep the grass at a specific length ?? even if.. we have lawn mowers…
if you say were jsut not suposta eat animals… then why do we have carnivorous teeth? yes we have teeth to eat non meat… but we have teeth to eat meat… we are ment to have our choices…
im not saying your one of thos animal rights freeks.. but seriously fuck how a squid/octopus feels … if your deep sea diving and it wants to eat you do you think its going to be like… ohh this person has feelings i wont eat it…. i think not
@SMASH!!! – Either you edited out a lot of content in your post with those ellipsis or you keep trailing off. Either way, it adds to the annoyance of reading it.
People are free to say what they want here and I’m sure tice knows everything you just told him. It seems he just chooses to think about this from a humanitarian point of view as a civilized human being. He’s not trying to change anyone and he shouldn’t be told to “shut up” because he is expressing his opinion and the way he feels about a situation.
weird things you said?
fried giant ants
alligator soup
stingray soup
raw goat eyes
fried rattlesnake
raw palmtree maggot (pretty good actually)
many other things…
@SMASH!!!! – Boy you seem to be very angry about something and I guess it isn’t me. I’m not a vegetarian neither do I have problems to eat (also “gross” looking) animals – traveled in asia a lot. It’s just that I kill animals before I start to eat them – like most carnivores do. In spite of animals I can think about what I do – so to bite of a leg from a living creature – I can imagine how that feels, can’t you or do you really not care?
@bojon – me to!
Weird food?
Cow Eye Tacos
Roasted lamb brain, and eye
Peeps (I think those qualify as a weird food, yeah? And certainly harder for me to negotiate than a good cow or lamb eye…)
fugu, which isn’t the weirdest thing, but has been known to kill the occasional diner on its way out.
In Hong Kong I tried baby octopus on a stick. Yes it was still alive. No, I will never eat it again.
Fried snake blood. Yes, fried.
I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Asia and N Africa so I’m sure there’s more than few things I’ve eaten that I’ve neglected to mention, more than likely on account of my suppressing the especially traumatic food memories…
