I ate an earwig on Saturday. Not on purpose it was hiding in my asthma inhaler and got shot down my throat. Nearly choked does this count?

You’re supposed to keep the slugs in a glass tank or some container for a few days to remove all traces of toxic mushrooms.
Bon Appetit,

luckily it's not something i have to worry about too much these days, but you're right. i have an inhaler once a year now just in case hay fever hits me hard in the spring, and i aways lose the thing before it runs out, but still, the first thing i do whenj i get a new one is throw away the cap

cheers

I have got down the the bottom of bowl of fairy ring champigion soup and bottom was mostly maggots. I was 8 months pregnant at the time, my daughter decided to kick the soup straight back.

I have eaten woodlice, worms, dodgy "chicken" that was the same lenght as a cat femer, mealworms, pig brains, trotters, sweetbreads [cow pancreus i think], lamb frys [ram balls], snails both garden and sandhill. I have never eaten slugs, always presumed they would be really gross.

Bare in mind molluscs especially land based snails and slugs are major disease vectors.

I've had pickled slugs in the past. They were ok, but I wouldn't rush to make more.

Also dried mealworms from bird-food (just because).

I've inhaled a fair quantity of spiders in my time, but if it is the worst tasting thing ever, then a green leaf beetle that had time to let its 'taste bad & repel predators' chemicals go. I wasn't intending to eat it, but it got inhaled. About 3 litres of water later and my mouth still tasted like I'd just had a carrion sandwich.

Cat food sandwiches as part of a packed lunch.

Prepared in error as apparently the tuna and cat food had been opened, deposited on plates and got inadvertently mixed up.

An interesting texture and taste/

Found out when I got home.

...I have eaten.......lamb frys [ram balls].......

That's called "mountain oysters" over here. Never eaten them myself but I had some Mormom friends out west that loved them.

My mum is the inventor of 'potato slump', which is potatoes that are peeled and then boiled until they lose structural integrity as well as flavour. Serve with anything you like, as they contribute absolutely nothing to the meal.

I have a tin of dried ghost chili's. They are probably the worst thing I've eaten.
Chiseller from this fold also tried one, from his reaction I don't think it went down well. Nor did the altoid straight after which just fanned the flames.

Up on Dartmoor one year with a filipino we were introduced to eating fishes eyes, a delicacy in the Philipines and the best part of the fish, so loaded with everything we need. But an unusual experience, a bit like large caviar as you chase it around your mouth with your tongue.

Other than that Swedish Surstrommng which is fermented baltic herring, what it does to the can should be enough to keep clear, and I will next time a can of that rolls out.;

[santaman2000]

Anybody on the forum tried a balut?

 

[Surv:vor]

Alligator at a restaurant which I recall I very much enjoyed. Ostrich steaks at a friends house which were pretty good. Rattlesnake in Overton nr Las Vegas that was stringy. Baked pike fresh from a Devon river that tasted fairly bland. Oh, and I ate a wood lice once by accident though apparently these are edible?
