Cat food isn’t that bad. Fancy feast, the kind in gravy, over rice...it’ll get you by if times are tough.

Also these things - mutsugoro (mudskippers).

We had fancy feast over rice growing up, it wasn't too bad.

At the Traveller's Club in NY they had an adventurer-themed event and served insects as nibbles. I tried one. ONE. For the rest of my life, I can honestly say I've had sufficient in terms of insect appetizers.

Piranha is not half bad. It's just salty and bony.

As a kid, I used to eat one of our dog's Milk Bones. And I've eaten at the Golden Corral, and liked it. I've eaten squirrel, so that's my rodent. It was good. I never heard a mett being used to refer to raw pork. I've had cooked metts, though.

Insects are surprisingly yummy.

Years ago in my teens I ate a dog "cookie" biscuit on a dare. It really wasn't that awful. What was awful was the huge jalapeno pepper I ate, also on a dare. I though I was going to faint and need my smellin salts. I've eaten at Golden Corral dozens of times.

I ate dog food as a child during my make-believe-to-be-a-dog phase. I’ve eaten fried rabbit and snails. Not anything too outlandish.

I'm told I ate Gaines Burgers dog food when I was a toddler. My mother says she asked the doctor who told her that there was nothing in it that would hurt me; just let me eat it until I got sick and I wouldn't ever again. Apparently, it worked. I have no reason to doubt this story. My brother's is much worse.

Butterscotch Angel Delight. Disgusting! x

Camel, Yak, Emu, Ostrich, Alligator, Rattlesnake, Dogfish, Bullhead, Sucker, Carp. Nothing taboo, but sort of unusual.

Giant sea turtle, in the Cayman Islands.

Fermented Greenland shark (hakarl) which tastes a bit like Limburger cheese smells, in Iceland.

Alligator.

And most horrid of all, TURDUCKEN.

R24, That's an ortolan. One is supposed to place one's napkin over one's head when eating one, in shame. You eat the whole little bird.

Taboo is Tofu. I eat it all the time. Escargot was required to be consumed at Robaire's in Los Angeles in order to attend the Jr. High French field trip to enjoy French cuisine, and practice French table manners.

I have inadvertently eaten gnats, but as a vegetarian, the closest I have come to eating anything on your list is recoiling in horror.

Things I could have eaten but passed on: Rocky Mountain Oysters, Pig intestines & Pig Uterus. The last two were being sold at a Mong food booth in St. Paul, MN.

mutsugoro certainly looks horrid but i guess it's not Taboo in Japan?

I had shark fin soup when I was a kid, before anybody in the US realized that shark-fishing industry was horrible. It was fine, it tasted like standard chicken soup (Chinese style), with veggies and stuff and little long shreds of things that weren't noodles.

I've also had during and wild boar. But the one thing that defeated me was the turtle soup I was once served at a Chinese restaurant. Instead of turtle meat there was a cube of whole turtle, with green nubbly skin on one side, and bits of bone and tendon sticking out the other. I'll eat just about anything, but that was my limit.
