I think I'd be willing to try most stuff like that but insects/spiders probably not. There's a very nice Vietnamese restaurant on Spon St that opened last year I think, no field rat just yet though.

Ever tried Casu marzu on your travels, or that too far south for you to come into contact with?
When I tried an ostrich steak I found it quite fatty and gristly. Maybe I just got a crap steak.
Swordfish I quite like.
It’s not particularly weird but boiled spuds with raw eggs poured over the top with some black pepper then mashed up is bloody lovely
You can still get it quite easily in Sardinia if you’re determined enough, we were there last summer and got offered some on a beach.
I’d probably try it but would probably put it in a bag first haha
It was in a glorious Japanese banquet. To be honest I couldn’t eat it. It was a 9 course experience that cost around £200 per head. One course looked like some kind of penis. I couldn’t even look at what it was. I’d have rather had a chip and curry sauce tray at the parsons nose
Similar.... I’ve had alligator (Florida) horse (France) and Kangaroo (Tamworth).
I remember having worm omlete at a scout camp about 35 years ago. We had an ex-scout member, now training in the army, telling us about about survival foods and challenged us to find some worms and cook them, mixed into an omlete. They looked like dried up fried onions, and didn't really taste of anything.
Also had shark, crocodile, swordfish in America.
One of our local bars serves Ostrich, wild boar, kangaroo in a mixed grill (can depend what's available sometimes), also serves goat.

Dog curry in Cambodia.
As someone else mentioned it was one of those scenarios where it would have been offensive to turn it down.
There was a group of 4 or 5 TukTuk drivers sat having a meal in the garden of our Guesthouse and I joined them for a beer. They literally offered me a bit of everything they were eating and drinking and these people were POOR. Didn’t feel right saying no in those circumstances.

Eaten kangaroo, stingray, ostrich for the weirdest I reckon.
Surprised to see swordfish, eat it on a weekly basis

Apparantly you should wear goggles in case the maggots jump out, and you should worry if they're not moving, as the cheese has become potent enough to kill them!
Yeah, I'm surprised too. Swordfish is really nice. And readily available.

You bastard! Love those beauties, have eaten everything else you've listed though!
I actually have a friend who lived in Cagliari for a decade and he tried it several times. Apparently a lot of people put the cheese into a bag and seal it up, once the maggots have stopped popping you know they’re dead and they’ve jumped out of the cheese. I’d probably try it with the bag method to be fair hahaha
I was a bit hesitant to put it down as you can find it in near enough every restaurant on the med, but I've never saw it in the UK.
This was at a late night outdoor outdoor Indian food market in Singapore, it was very nice!!
To be honest I've never had the option for it in this country but would like to give it a go. Octopus is another one but I guess it's a lot like squid?
I've never had octopus, but love a bit of calamari, I can imagine they're fairly similar though, possibly the octopus a bit more tender?
Octopus is very very nice, reckon I have it every couple of weeks at the moment.
I saw that in Japan it's eaten raw with soy sauce added to make the tentacles move. A bit funky for my taste so think I'll keep to the Mediterranean version!
Haha wow! Had it in a Japanese restaurant here earlier this year, luckily they stuck to the Italian style
My brother treated me out for a meal in a Thai restaurant Banbury for my 50th birthday (17 years ago!) I ate frogs legs just to try. They were bloody lovely! Also had fresh oysters in Spain. Straight from the shell, down the throat! Mmmm!
