What weird food do you like?

I eat everything. Probably some of the weirder things I like are tripe, washed rind cheeses, raw milk, pig's feet, etc. I also really love beets, turnips, brussel spouts and all those other highly stigmatized vegetables. These aren't really weird foods but I guess it's not typical for people in the United States to eat them as often as I do. less

I dunno - he says he can't think of any.

I am sure regional stuff seems weird to people from other areas. I just don't consider most food weird. I live in such a fabulous food city, in a multicultural neighborhood, so nothing seems strange to me. My kids have a far more eclectic palates than most adults I know. They've been eating sushi, falafel, pad thai, curry, puttanesca, gumbo, you name it, since they were tiny. I guess it's how and where you are raised.

I do like fresh raspberries that have been put in the freezer for a bit, so they're almost frozen. Yum! (not processed bagged frozen raspberries - there's a big difference!) That is one of my favorite snacks ever. I want to try that with blueberries now too. And my kids put marshmallow Peeps in the freezer before eating them.

Anyway, yeah. less

WOAH WOAH WOAH!!!!! HANG ON!

Can you get these Herr chips in the US????????? I have never heard of them, but I am about to start mad hunting.

(Ketchup is a REALLY common chip flavour in Canada, but I can't find it here in the US and I have been craving that tongue-ripping ketchup flavour....) less

I love how spicy foods smell and taste... until the HOT gets to me. I'm a baby when it comes to my tongue burning, but I loooove the flavors of curry and Szechuan cuisine and spicy Korean foods, so it's pretty much my masochistic love.

And I totally forgot about snake soup! I've had stir fried alligator too... yum! I love the texture--like a cross between fish and chicken.

This thread makes my mouth water, for serious! less

Ah ha! You're very right, I have not seen any bags of All Dressed (= all yum) down here either. And a few others (including dill pickle). So sad.

All the pickle juice swiggers in this thread would love dill pickle chips, I bet.

(Randomly, all these chip flavours can be ordered here: link) less

I have never had vegamite. I just heard Men at Work on the radio the other day too... I always associate the two together since that was the first I had ever heard of vegamite. I had Moxie once a long time ago. I remember liking it, but I cant remember what it tastes like any more. I am always on the look out for it though! less

Oh, I love french fries in my Frosty! My very first job was at Wendy's and we did that a lot.

I'm also a big fan of pickled or creamed herring. It's the Norwegian in me.

I put ketchup on my scrambled eggs, which seems normal to me, everyone in my family does it. But I'm told by people not in my family that it's very strange. less

I had vegemite several years ago - the guy who owned the website my ex-husband and I met on came to our wedding all the way from Australia and brought some with him. It's definitely an acquired taste - I didn't care much for it because it was too salty. I understand it's the yeasty sediment left at the bottom of beer barrels and Australian mothers swear by its health benefits for children.

My family considers me weird for liking pickled okra, asian apples, tofu, soy meats, cabbage, horseradish, Indian food, and real garlic (of course my mother is the type who considers Miracle Whip to be spicy).

One peculiar dish I heard of is served at Missoula's Testicle Festival. You can pretty much guess what it is just by the name of the festival. Oh, and the County Fair from where I lived in Montana had a fair food called a 'Pig-Tater', where a potato was drilled longways and stuffed with sausage then baked. It sounded terribly good, but I never got to try it. less
