What's the most disgusting thing you've eaten?

[Drago]

I think I told you that I also use a .22. After posting that I thought " is that correct" and checked. Its actually a .177. Less punch than a .22 but it is still very effective.

I generally prefer the .177, particularly for ranges above 30 metres where the flatter trajectory makes them more accurate. They also penetrate feathers better, so they're good for making .pigeon pie. That's why I have one of each, but I also fancy a .25 quarter bore, really hammer the rabbits. I'm not a fan of rabbit, buts Mrs D likes it so I'm not averse to shooting one for the pot now and again.

So going back on topic, I think rabbit tastes horrible. Its just utterly tasteless to my pallette.

Not had rabbit since I was a kid. It was a regular meal until myxomatosis wiped them out in the 50s

Can one eat squirrel? Is it nice or yucky? Next one I shoot might go in the pot.

'tis rather tasty - doesn't taste like chicken, more like....squirrel. Make sure you brine it first for 4-6 hours to soften the meat otherwise it can be chewy. We regularly encourage our Scouts to try it on camp.

I used to get squirrel from a butcher in Ludlow about 25 years ago. He'd charge a quid a piece, skinned and paunched.
We'd put 'em on a skewer and barbeque them. Not much on them but quite tasty.

...and then pop a cap in them...

Pop a cap? Are you some sort of East Coast rapper on a drive-by?

 

[youngoldbloke]

Cow's Udder, and another vote for tripe. And cockles, mussels, oysters, of course. I blame my parents - never had a chance to try/get used to them when young.

Some rancid fish in Norway,it tasted like sweaty socks,totally inedible

About 20 years ago I was on a 3 week business visit to China with a couple of colleagues. None of the hotels we stayed in served Western food, few of the staff spoke English and the menus were in Chinese. Our Mandarin amounted to saying 'hello, goodbye and thank you', so we were in trouble.

Among the delights I remember were sea slugs, live snakes brought to the table, beheaded and the blood poured into cups for us to drink and pigs ears which were tougher than shoe leather.

One lunch I thought we'd cracked it as we were served something resembling chicken nuggets. They were suspiciously crunchy though and when I scraped the batter off I found a whole tiny baby bird, complete with beak.

I've not eaten Chinese since.

Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy!

I can't be the only one who likes all of them.....................can I?

No you arn't.

Natto: Fermented (ie: Half rotted) beans with rice. Considered a tasty natural aid to digestion by the people of Tokyo and a revolting mush that spoils a good bowl of rice by people from Osaka.

I am very much with the people of Osaka on this.

Natto bean. Japanese breakfast treat that looks and smells like a cross between pizza cheese and a fungal infection between your toes.

1) Banana. Possibly one reason why I've never done a sportive is that they invariably offer free bananas.
2) Banoffee pie.
3) Juicy fruit chewing gum.

 

[jongooligan]

Brain masala in Karachi. Never did find out which unfortunate species had donated it's grey matter. It was the last thing I ate there as I was ill from then until we left.

A lady colleague once brought back some fruit chews from a trip to China to share around her office mates. Trouble was, they were all durian fruit flavour. Google it ..... All the descriptions I have read are accurate. I and all of my colleagues spat them out instantly and described them variously as "sewage flavour" "smells like blocked drains" and "tastes like your own belch". I couldn't argue. The sweets were withdrawn immediately. ( I had been all in favour of leaving them on the corner of a desk to catch out a senior officer who is notorious for snaffling up people's sweets uninvited).

I have eaten one Durian chocolate..

one and one only
