As I'm rather conservative in what I eat, I suppose a teaspoon of Crab Paste courtesy of Cheir Blair's hired chef is the most unusual food I've had.

Only if they turn into a Prince Lynda - or is that erotic? lol Daniel I've eaten lots of things which are very strange but probably not exotic. Daisy

Couldn't face eating them, but have been offered spiced sheep's brain and sheep's eyes. OK, I know. Where do you get spiced sheep? HaHa I suppose the answer is either truffle or caviar. CB >|<

I don't think I'm eaten anything particularly exotic, although I was served up a few things in singapore that I wasn't too sure of, but I just ate them and didn't ask lol I unwittingly ate horse meat whilst in France (we were told what it was afterwards). I've eaten stir fried oysters (yuck), don't really fancy molluscs in general though - mussels, welks etc. I was also served up a sea food platter whilst on a flight, and there staring back at me off the play was a whole baby octopus. Needless to say I didn't touch that lol

I am bit of a plain Jane regarding food but my husband will try Anything. Some of the things he has eaten are Kangaroo Emu Snails (Escargo) Frogs Legs Crocodile He eats Kangaroo at least twice a week it is very good for the heart as it is a very lean meat. But I always think of the little Joey's in their mothers pouch when he eats it YUK Regards Jackie

I'll try anything, we very often have octopus and squid when I'm home. Other gastronomic delights include Aligator Ostrich Camel Shark Snails Lotus roots And apparently about 8 spiders whilst sleeping. :o) Derek

I had some ostrich when I was in Mallorca. I've eaten snails, but they tasted of nothing but garlic. Recently husband and I ate at an Australian restaurant and had crocodile, kangaroo, shark and emu. The emu was rather like lamb. When I was a small child I remember being offered a pomegranite, which seemed VERY exotic at the time - mum's fruit salad was apples, oranges & bananas. I was so disappointed to find it was full of pips! Nell
