What's the weirdest thing you've eaten?
I'm watching Iron Chef, my nightly ritual and man do they really hook up some weird ingredients. So it got me thinking, what is the weirdest thing you've eaten? For me, it's a toss up between beef tongue, chicken feet, or sharks fin. They don't sound too weird but the presentation is what sealed the deal. When I went to China on business, a few of the restaurants brought out whole chicken feet, claws and everything. The beef tongue was in a stew with mushrooms and it looked like, well a mushroom stew with tongues floating around in it. I could go my whole life without either of those dishes again, but the sharks fin soup... ymmm!
Agutuk, or "Eskimo ice cream"
I had this one time in Alaska. I was in a small Ypik town about 6 hours (by plane) from Anchorage
2 Cups seal oil
1 pound reindeer fat
Berries
Snow
Directions
Boil the oil & reindeer fat together for 2 to 3 minutes. Cool until lukewarm. Take a bowlful of loose snow (not too powdery) and add oil; beat well to avoid lumps. Let freeze a bit. Then fold in wild berries
They added some sugar for me and my friends as they though we were too "American" to eat it in the traditional way.
You should remain close to a bathroom for a few hours after eating.
