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.
Most unusual thing i had was ricefield rat in Vietnam, spatchcocked and barbecued. They advertise it as being a mouse, but it's actually a rat. And very tasty. Quite like rabbit, i guess. I'd have it again.
In the same restaurant we had a chicken stew - you take the lid off the pot and there were his head (complete with cock's comb) and his feet, sticking up out of the gravy.
Oh, and someone we were with on holiday out there another time had a "blood pudding". I'd draw the line there, i think!
Ever tried Casu marzu on your travels, or that too far south for you to come into contact with?I was once made what is apparently a traditional New Years Eve dish in Italy. Basically they got a pigs leg, chucked everything bar the skin, stuff that full of green lentils to make essentially a giant sausage, then boil it. The skin was absolutely rank but the 3 Italians I was dining with were fighting over it. The lentils were nice though.
Never been that far south in Italy but I’ve heard about. No thanks.Ever tried Casu marzu on your travels, or that too far south for you to come into contact with?
My dad was stationed in Egypt with the RAF in th 50's and some of them were invited to a wedding where they where given the delicacy of a sheep's eye. My dad said he just swallowed it, I wouldn't have got it near my mouth
When I lived in Scotland the local Chinese did ostrich stir fry, basically like a lean beef. Quite nice actually
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.Ever tried Casu marzu on your travels, or that too far south for you to come into contact with?
I've had Emu, Kangaroo, Crocodile, Horse. Love a bit of Swordfish. I'm sure there's plenty I've missed.
Which series of I'm A Celebrity were you on?
Raw jellyfish
Intentionally or a swimming incident?

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!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
Yeah, I'm surprised too. Swordfish is really nice. And readily available.Eaten kangaroo, stingray, ostrich for the weirdest I reckon.
Surprised to see swordfish, eat it on a weekly basis

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 hahahaApparantly 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!

You can (or could, before lockdown) buy it in Morrison's!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.

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?
Octopus is very very nice, reckon I have it every couple of weeks at the moment.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?

Haha wow! Had it in a Japanese restaurant here earlier this year, luckily they stuck to the Italian styleI 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!
A what!?Stoke on Trent I had a mash potato pie, was nice.
Kangaroo burgers were nice too.
Which one?A what!?
