Out there foods

I'm curious about how adventurous people are when it comes to eating. There are various foods that different cultures find more or less appealing that are incomprehensible to others. So here's a list of foods and I want to know which ones you have eaten.

Date: 2006-03-16 09:48 pm (UTC)I was sixteen when I went to Japan, and at that point in my life I think the most exotic thing I'd eaten might have been a cannoli -- my family are very much meat-and-potatoes sort of people, and for us "ethnic" food meant sweet and sour chicken from the local Chinese place. I had never even SEEN Japanese food, much less eaten any of it. Naturally, the first meal I was served was *all* hardcore Japanese food -- in my memory, everything on that table had tentacles, though I'm certain that was not actually the case. :-) On the last morning I spent with my host family, they noted that I hadn't been eating much for breakfast (every day they gave me a hunk of raw tuna and a huge glass of unsweetened ice coffee), so for breakfast that day they made....Tuna Helper. I nearly died. :-)
These days, I *love* Japanese food. I'm not super-adventurous, but there are very few things I won't try at least once.

Date: 2006-03-16 10:25 pm (UTC)No animals that I consider pets, nor insects at any stage of life, thanks. Also, no carnivores (pork doesn't exactly count). And no primates or cetacea nor, in fact, any other sea mammal.
Those are will nots. I've actually pretty much limited travel plans to places where I won't be asked to eat those things.
Ask me again after the apocalypse, though.

Date: 2006-03-17 03:28 am (UTC)i could never, ever eat anything feline, either. (Actually, while I've had rabbit in the past, I won't eat it. I have a rule against eating anything that I find to be cute.)

Date: 2006-03-17 04:23 pm (UTC)And maybe you should have put seaweed on the list, too!

Date: 2006-03-17 04:29 pm (UTC)Perhaps so, though I suspect that almost anyone who has eaten raw fish has eaten seaweed too.
