I just can't stand it, the smell or anything. Yuck. I also love clams, mussels, escargot, whelks, conch....but oysters gross me out. I had quail eggs once too and they were gross, to me anyway. No way I would eat some of that stuff Mr. X ate.

I also had alpaca tenderloin which was REALLY good if you don't picture their cute little faces. =P I had a friend trick me into eating blood sausage. I've had emu, alagator, cook with buffalo regularly and snake. Anyone want to organize a potluck? =)

Originally Posted By friendofdd Like Mr X I would be willing to try the food, And I would probably share his reactions. I've eaten many kinds of unusual meat and, while not necessarily wanting any more, I wasn't offended by any of them. I think I would rate nutria (a rodent) as least desirable. For the gross factor, I once selected a sauce covered something from a platter at a chinse banquet. When I tried to eat it, it was hard and crunchy. I spit it into my napkin and sneaked a peek. Split in half from front to back, it was a chicken head. I had previously seen the inside. Now, from the napkin, it had flipped over and I swear the eye seemed to be looking at me in an accusatory fashion.

Wonder how much a venti THAT would cost?
