Default Most unusual cuisine you've tried?
I was at a Vietnamese restaurant for dinner last night, felt pretty adventurous... what's the most unusual world cuisine you've ever tried?

There's a Nepalese restaurant not far from where I worked in the summer at home, I've always wanted to go just to say I've been but it doesn't look very appealing from the outside

Hmmm, my friend made me a Bauru once, which is a brazilian sandwich made from roast beef, gherkins, cheese & tomato served in a bun which has had some of the inside scooped out. It was delish.

I ate camel for 2 weeks when I was in tunisia. Was told it was beef, tasted quite like beef but more tender :/

Also tried crocodile in gatorland florida. Was awful...like really tough chicken

I ate copious amounts of squid in August, Idk if that is weird but it was new to me.
Also I eat periwinkles (beach snails) in summer.

This thread has made me realise how boring I am when it comes to food.

I feel adventurous when I have corn on the cob
